Did Dyson ever get the DFI engines? I seem to remember they didn’t.

Back on track, I just love Zyteks. Such an elegant LMP design.

I’m quite worried about moore. He’s an excellent driver but the fastest cars he’s raced are GT4, mostly in single class racing. I’ve noticed him make a few mistakes when dealing with traffic and this is GT3/GT4 stuff in the daylight.

I hope i’m wrong cause i really like the boy but i see this going horribly wrong.

That GAC chassis is well traveled.

It’s the chassis Adrian Fernandez had at LeMans in 2007 Team LNT had for one race and then it was brought to Petit and Laguna.

In 2007 it was outperforming the other P2 chassis. Until it came to the ALMS and faced the RS Spyders and Acuras. I think it had the pace to be somewhat competitive but I think the drivers were startled by all the factory involvement.

Porsche might be saving the DFI engine for 2011. Since P2 engines would become P1 mills by then. Hopefully they come to P1.

They probably don’t want privateer teams to get them because it might expose the competition to some of their engineering secrets.

The Penske and Dyson cars are probably gathering dust in some garage somewhere in Stuttgart.

I would love to see the Zyteks do well, but even in the P2 class they face the Spyder Evos and various Lola Coupes. If the Porsche Spyders get the DFI engine, then they will be doubly hard to beat.

I can see them mopping in P2, but Audi and Peugeot should keep them off the P1 podium.
