now that's interesting!....good find!.......I think the Indy Lights boys made a wise decision there, that option is far more road relevant than just another NA engine, so more chance of getting a manufacturer to badge it.......looks like AER now have their hands full with V6 GP3 and this.....will be surprised if their new V6 LMP1 engine gets much attention.........this does seem the only way to make money in the race engine business, land a contract for full series engine supply rather than scratching around supplying engines to privateer teams with little hope and questionable funding.......look whats happened to Judd :-/
