I imagine this is a bit of a test bed to see if the ACO has the Diesel regs right, in anticipation of a potential Toyota entry in 2012.
yeah thats the one, I seem to remember digging into this a while back and the engine is actually Toyotas old IRL motor, good news I must say, this all a bit reminiscent of what AML did in the early days, whereby they give a good established LMP1 team a warmed over existing engine, dip your toes in the water for 1 year, then announce a full works effort.......it would be nice to have another gasoline runing LMP1 manufacturer alongside AML when they realise the diesel regs are still bent.......but lets not go there.........dont do it, resist, resist!!!..... otherwise bentley03 will bive you the red text treatment ;-)
