Dyson managed to make their Lola the slowest P1 and the slowest P2 ... pure genius.

Thing is, now that the chassis have to meet the same standards, the only difference in engine and bodywork, whereas before most people took the Courage chassis and did significant mods. I am hoping it would be simpler and cheaper to take spec P2, dump the radiators and motor and and a new motor----after all, a bunch of former Grand-Am teams managed to do it.
