I think some of you doubters of the Judd engine are missing the point......running a turbo engine is a nightmare in terms of weight, packaging, aerodynamics and reliability......its the reliability factor that Judd are majoring on in their sales pitch
But I think they may have shot themselves in the foot with the move from 90 degrees over to a 72 degree......the incumbent customer engines from AER and Mechachrome are all 90 degree........so the carbon chassis engine fixing points have been manufactured for 90 degree engines.......hope Judd have realized this????....the Nissan-cosworth V6 is a lot narrower, no angle numbers released but it looks 60 degree.
Otherwise, if I was starting an LMP1 team this engine would be well towards to top of my list.......a proper piece of kit.
