Now they have burned a lot of money and there treated like idiots by the ACO. But be sure they will come back with some more. Likely a P1. |

About Strakka, is it likely that they are one of the other manufacturers that Greaves have looked at for there 2017 entry? |

But Gibson and Judd both have normally aspirated V8s of around 4.5 litres on the drawing board so there are other options available. |

How is AER 'the only option'? There have literally been dozen of parties throwing their hats to the ring (you only need to look back at fall 2013 - winter 2014 list of potentials), but it's hard to get anything done when the interest in the 'class' has been so thin previously. And now with the stupid spec crap in both lower LMP classes, there's even more reason for engine manufacturers to have business in LMP1.
Someone buy Judd V10! |

honestly I doubt NA engines will still have long life in lmp1...
maybe this is the last year if toyota will get a turbo engine for real next season. |

I think your right, anyone choosing an engine won't go N/A, times are changing, less to go wrong with the N/A but not as much performance. Who else on the market sells turbo engines? |

Not many choices as far as those designed for P1 fuel flows. But perhaps Honda?
