Preparation is done by Mr Hasted, dynoed at the WPS premises apparently...
... prior to this Mr Wilson was preparing the engines...
But the issue here is that there seem to be preparation problems in the engine area, to do with throtle systems and oil lines and the like... are these powerplants really members of the POS family, or are they just not put in the cars correctly?
I watched a team change an engine in double quick time at the weekend, the thing was put back with the care and precision of an operating theatre, and everything worked when the job was finished.... everything... the drivers got full throttle, the clutch and gearbox were connected and calibrated correctly....
... this is significantly different to the scenario here.. where the Hasted engine was dumped and replaced with an older unit... and there were still issues
There is a school of thought that Mr Gore would achieve better racing results if contracted a team like PCR to run the cars, to prepare them with the right people, the right focus... the 'Hollywood' stuff could still happen, but the cars would be racing instead of plodding....
