You are correct on the engine, the old Dyson 2.0 litre for Indy lights. The new lmp1 is a 3.5 v6 and I believe it is a new design.

The Lotus T128 is Adess-Praga instead of Judd if my memory is correct?

Judd made no bones about the fact that their LMP2 engine is based on a BMW block, but the subsequent rebadges are absolutely ridiculous.

Fine....never believe a Czech kart racing manufacturer can produce a competitive P2 engine anyway. (No offense)
Speaking of re-badging, will we see signatech Alpine-badged P2 as a whole season entry or still Le Mans + ELMS?

Some interesting developments about Fred Makowiecki amid a contract dispute between Aston and Porsche.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112199

I wonder what's gone on there?

Makowiecki is also known to have indicated to AMR that he no longer wanted to drive for the team and is believed to have alleged breach of contract that made the deal void.
Porsche tapping him up or some kind of falling out?

Doubt it. If he's said that he doesn't want to race for them then it would be silly to try and force Mako to race with them again, I can only imagine it wouldn't be a conducive working environment in that situation.

Very interesting...

It can be a very bad situation for Mako, in the article we can assume that Mako had a 1 year contract with AMR + the option for a 2nd year in the hands of AMR. Actually AMR didn't renounce to the 2nd year option, so in theory Mako is still a worker under prodrive contract. I think that when Mako signed with Porsche, he was sure that AMR was not going to pick up the 2nd year option (verbal agreement between Mako and AMR). If is as I think, Mako is still an AMR driver (and a porsche driver too) and in theory AMR can legally prevent him from driving for any AMR direct competitor, basicly no WEC as porsche driver for him. We need to wait and see what will be porsche move... in theory also porsche could prevent him from driving for a porsche competitor (basicly, no WEC as AMR driver as well). A solution can be to pay the rescission clause to AMR.

If there's no WEC drive for him, it means that he'll stay in Super GT.

Too late now, Mako already withdraw from the japanese series and Honda respected his will (like AMR, honda too had an option for a second season). It would really embarassing if he will come back knocking to some super GT team door, useless too, more or less all GT500 teams are finalizing their line-up.

Apparently, Marc VDS Racing was looking at running the Z4 GTE in the WEC and Le Mans, but changed their minds after remembering the car's poor top speed

DSC reporting Larbre have been turned down for a GT-Am entry with the new C7.R

Hopefully it will lead to a Pro car instead: https://www.dailysportscar.com/?p=21400

Seems a bit silly when every other manufacturer's homologated 2013 and 2014 models are identical though...
