It might have two, or even three. The engine might cook the one at the front of the engine. A second one might be in the bellhousing area. The one on the back is in cool air and because the gearbox shafts are always spinning on a race car the alternator is working fine too. Le-Mans cars often have multiple alternators starter motors and fuel pumps as the vibration and heat kills them.
The disc bell (the aluminium centre of the disc) gets clamped between the hub and the wheel. Without the wheels on the brake discs float around a bit. It would be better to have a couple of dummy wheels bolted up instead of wheels to keep the discs from floating around.
Great video! Amazing how they are running the alternator off of the transmission
Just noticed that too. Great minds. I assume that's due to lack of space to have it in the conventional position
Squeeze every little thing. Alternator isn't putting any drag/resistance on the engine this way as well.

This is a nice car,with a hammering
sound if accelerating.
How much will it cost?
What engine is in it?
I shall now be deaf for the rest of the day... wonderful 🤗
My kind of country
Is it me, or is that RH brake disc running out of true?
Looks warped to me.
You are right, most likely now bolted down at that point

the car does NOT sound happy on Pit road and coming into and out of garages..
