HPD will have the more powerful NSX GT3(JC Series)engine to IMSA this year but will not have the Bodywork ready until late 2017.
Problems...
Ligier and Oreca chassis are expensive and Dallara and Riley already have partners.
And the two French manufacturers will be a tough working enviroment with Honda.
Honda and the French are both too thick headed too work together on a project like this.HPD wanted to work with Dallara because there is a relationship thru IndyCar.

1) Yes they would say no, and have said no!
2) New engine and body work would be expected for DPi.
3) Onroak does not seem to have a problem working with HPD, they already have HPD engines in them.
4) If HPD wants Dallara then they can use Dallara. There is no limit to how many OEMs one of the 4 constructors may partner with. The limit is on the OEM's for only a single constructor.
L.P.
