I think it is down to experience of building and running prototypes. The two 'new' teams to P1 (Epsilon and Oreca) had appalling reliability. Both were quick but fragile. Despite suffering on performance, Pescarolo and Creation outpointed them both and I think this has a lot to do with their experience of running these cars. If Epsilon build an entirely new car for 2009, I think they will have another year of new car problems.

Additionally, I would seriously question the choice of drivers in the Epsilons. They appear to be very prone to expensive mistakes. Terrible for the crew but three times at the same place in one race is ridiculous.

For all the supposed resources given to this project, the results were extremely disappointing.
