The GV has always been 72deg. That's the normal bank angle for a V10 otherwise you get some crazy vibrations that are worthwhile for F1 but pretty stupid in endurance racing. |
nope, thats not the case......the 5.5 V10 was based on the same modular casting tooling as the old LMP2 V8.......hence it was 90 Degree bank angle for the very last AIM version raced.......if you look at this image, you can see its 90 degree, dont really need a protractor, if it was 72 degrees you could see it instantly. Also the Judd wording does state "a new 72 degree cylinder block".....which I interpret as moving away from 90 degrees.
Yes the Nissan V6 was 60 degrees
Overall my point is Judd are creating a problem for themselves which will force an un-needed chassis interface change, which could scare off either the chassis manufacturers or the teams.....not the best starting point.
