That. Plus TS030 may actually have
superior aero and/or importantly the Hybrid system!
That being said, the competitive level of private petrol cars seems to have deteriorated somewhat (compared to the diesels) after the engine rules moved to 3.4L. Apart from the Toyota engines, there doesn't seem to be single new engine developed for 3.4 P1 rather than 3.4 P2, spare the still-born AMR-One engine. And those uprated 3.4 ex-P2 engines seem to barely outperform those new production-block P2 engines. Look at the Oak P1 and P2 cars, you'll see what I mean.
Unfortunately it's not likely anyone will bring a new engine for privateers until 2014.
PS: as for the 'LMP1 Privateer class'
isn't that's what LMP2 is for?
