And yet, the main difficulty was the engine. The AER had issues that many of those teams had to deal with, specifically Dyson. No matter how many times they were able to match with Audi (be they Infinieon or Champion), they would come up short, and it would be centered on the turbo I4. Dayton and Intersport knew this over the '03 season, which was why they decided to change to the Judd V8 just before that seasons' Petit Le Mans. Fits the same engine bay, more stable, and producing similar output, many other teams using the EX257 went the same route by the next year, while Dyson stayed with the AER.
Check out the file of the Lola-MG EX 257 at mulsannescorner.com, especially the last photo that explains the Intersport/Judd car.
