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.

The #21 car has been solid since its debut at Le Mans, its just the team, wanting to have an all Spanish lineup in 1 car that has left them with not much choice but to have to rebuild the 20 car everyday.
