The Doran/Lista Dallara that ran in Grand Am last year and in the 1st half of the ALMS season this year used the GV5...
The ORECA Dallaras ran the Judd GV4 in 2002...
There was an issue raised above concerning the ORECA Chrysler entry in 2001 that I wanted to touch on, for whatever it is worth:
That Chrysler engine that ORECA used was derived from a Sprint Car engine....
Sprint Car engine in the US generate plenty of power and are fairly inexpensive to build and maintain...there are plenty of builders who are familiar with tese engines and can do them inexpensively...
Sure they have to be "de-tuned" to last the 24 hours....but in their Sprint Race configuration, they push about 750 hp.....They are fuel-injected engines already that have all of the computer mapping and such set up on them for racing...
If Henri doesn't get the deals he wants with Judd or another builder, and Euros are tight, this would be a GOOD option for him to pursue...
