Intersport AER at Le Mans 2005, fire at Road America, blown engines in test sessions, other broken powertrain components. Last year's LMP2 Le Mans was ridiculous. RML came back after about 10 pitstop repairs to win it. They were lucky that their failures were not race-ending, as it was for many of their other classmates. The competition was basically reduced to who fixes their broken stuff first.
LMP2's have the highest power/weight and power/displacement ratios. Was this an oversight, miscalculation? With the exception of Porsche they are all privateers.
