Lame, one big commercial. Wonder if a few pounds were sent DSC and RLMs way to blow this wayyy out of proportion... Informercial at best.

Nice marketing exercise, but not particularly interesting unless they choose to actually compete. I am a big fan of racing, competing, not of demonstration engineering exercises. All the power to them, but I'd have to agree with others. Blown out of proportion, disappointed in the hype.

A big publicity stunt to announce a garage 56 project, a huge publicity stunt in itself.

Well Darren Cox is stating that this is an exercise to evaluate using this technology working in a real LMP1... they want to go racing with this... in future... sometime. Pure electric cars at LM... hmm, full sized slot cars. If it doesn't work, they'll try something else. Don't want to go racing with a standard engine.
