Although I agree that the Judd wasn't as 'fast' as the AER, the JUDD is rock solid reliable and the AER, at least in the hands of Autocon and Intersport, has not been.

It was mentioned on the RA broadcast that Dale White et al. have not been trimming out the Drayson car as much as they would if the Lord was not aboard. More downforce hurts them on the straights but less so than if it was binned in the corner when the driver doesn't have as much grip as he needs to feel comfortable. The AER V8 is probably still the quicker engine but this break will just compensate a bit for their setup compromise.
