i was reading through MulsannesCorner.com and i noticed none of the previous lmp675 cars ever got down to the minimum weight, which would explain why these thing were rarely competitive-aside from breaking every race.
the average is 50 to 100 kilograms off the min.
So with the new 750 minimum it may be possible for more to be built by smaller constructors, and with a Homolagated engine, or better engine development as weight isn't such an issue, they may actually be competitive, i am sure they can ring out alot from a 4.0 H spec engine, or even a turbo 2.0 4cylinder, just buy a toyota from JGTC- the 2002 supra ran a 2 liter 4cylTurbo at 500 HP and never blew up-
then you wonder why toyota went to the 5.2 litre V8 this year..
