RLM interviewed one of the team members last night. When questioned about that 3:34 lap he explained that they had a soft set of tyres and a different engine map to try out, so decided to let it off the leash. He said there was more to come and the data suggested that had it been a clear track a sub 3:30 would have been easily reached. He added the car wasn't anywhere near its full potential yet. They are hoping to run it without restriction at one of the ALMS races later in the season.

It still looks like a cock, but you have to hand it to them, the concept works very well indeed.

We frustrated engineers would love to see it with all the skin off.  See how the suspension sets up and how the running gear works.

I really don't want to like it but can't help myself pulling for it.

No risk, no reward.
