knighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridknighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
hmmm.....I'll believe it when I see it

But back to the 4.0 LMP2 regs…… if the 3.4 porsche is revving to 10,500......with some rough maths, that would imply for a 4.0 to produce equivalent power, it would need to rev to 8925rpm…….thats still a bit of a screamer in my book!……also, the BMW engine will only be able to use its bare block and head, its still going to need a new flat plane crank, new rods & pistons, plated/linered bores, new cams, valvetrain, dry sump…..by the time they have done all that, its still going to be a pricey bit of kit.
