Aston hemmed and hawed about their LMP entry because of that disparity, and it's my understanding that the ACO have finally adjusted the engine regulations such that a gas engine now has a chance. We'll see. Aston seems confident. Frankly I don't think they'd be here if they didn't from a regulatory standpoint. Now it's up to them to execute to meet that expectation. Not sure they have with the AMR-One. It will be interesting to see what the I6 has...
