Nordic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
VW & Ford are both making 2litre turbo Diesels that in Road car guise at least are good for 150BHP, and VW have raced & Rallied a Golf TDi, While this is some way short of the needed BHP for a LMP, I am sure it would present a worth while project if the rules allowed.
The High Torque/low revs & better MPG you find on a diesel would make it ideal for longer races I beleive
