We have carried out a full spectroscopic analysis of the WC8 star in the γ2 Vel binary (WR11). Through the binary radial-velocity curve the mass of the WR star can be determined, and hence its luminosity can be derived through the mass-luminosity relation for WR stars. This can be compared to the luminosity from the spectroscopic analysis. We find that the standard modeling methods underestimate the luminosity of the WR star.
