Is that a new nose and rear on the Lola?
https://twitter.com/#!/dsceuroeditor.../photo/1/large Anyone know the total number of cars sold by Lola, HPD, ORECA, OAK and Zytek in the last twelve months. This winter I can think of - Lola - 2x Dyson, 2x Gulf, 1x Status, 2x Jet Alliance?, 1x Dempsey?, 1x Black Swan? HPD - 1x Strakka, 1x JRM, 1x Muscle Milk, 2x Level 5 Zytek - 2x Greaves ORECA - 2x Docking, 1x Pecom OAK - 1 x Conquest, 1x HK Technik, ?x factory ORECA of course sold a few cars last season, I believe Signatech alone have three chassis, Zytek are also strong on the engine front with their Nissan partnership. |

It sounds like Kolles is interested in running in WEC LMP2.

ELMS and Le Mans for Jota in a LMP2 Zytek-Nissan, there's another rumour turning to confirmation. |

Last paragraph indicates that Pescarolo has some plans for this year, but the whole thing might be very last-minute, his choice was made and his entry form submitted right before the entry deadline expires. No more details though, we'll have to wait for Feb 2 I guess. |

Playstation will still be on the Oreca Nissan's with the GT Academy drivers. Maybe they'll just up their support for them. This could possibly be a sign to Nissan to step up to P1 and use this branding. A big hole will be left by Peugeot, so now's the time!

As a marketing tool, if Nissan and Playstation can get Ordonez or any other of their lads towards the top step of a podium they will be quids in. The lads will need several more years to be close to that level though you suspect.

They finished 2nd in P2 last year at LeMans right? And I recall they were the fastest car in the class. Not sure why they didn't win, but they were darn quick. If Nissan signs a couple of them and makes a P1 entrance, I'm sure they'd get the best guys and give them good amounts of testing.

Power steering was often an issue I think as well. |

ugh.... the new zytek p2 looks horrible in some way. It would have been cool if it had oreca 03 or morgan lmp2-ish sidepods instead of that wall. low rear wing looks weird as well. Cant wait to see how lmp2 will look in 2014.

not the new rules but new cars. Some of this years cars (like the zytek, lola or oreca) are much like the 2011 ones with just a few changes, upgrades. It would be great to see brand new designs. And new chassis manufacturers to add to the variety.

It is not easy for new manufacturers to build a LMP2. Just look at Riley, who have an initial design ready but can not find customers willing to pay the bill.

Riley's problem for me is that RT start the work on the car if somebody bought the concept while Lola, Oreca, OAk and others exist and you can buy a car , which performance you know. At Riley you have to buy a cat in the bag and that's the problem in my point of view |

Does anyone have anything on BoP for the WEC? I'm just hoping for some equivalence in P1 and P2 cars that are strangled within an inch of their lives...
