Any of you hear that JJ Lehto has been cleared of all charges related to that boat accident he was involved in? Story on autosport.com

The odds of a rotary engine being used in an energy conservation model seems remote at best.

A turbocharged rotary on E100 paired with KERS and a heat recovery system?

Chance of rotary is zero because:
Engine is free except following restrictions: Only Petrol and Diesel 4 stroke engines with reciprocating pistons are permitted. (draft 2014 regs) (More fuel for the fire... fire being the 787B ban myth. ) |

There seems to be some consensus and the original sentence given in municipal court was in a way incompetent. This has been quite big media story here for two years, I don't think he has been thinking about racing lately. Last edited by deggis; 30 Nov 2012 at 21:54. |

Today, Mazda announces exhibition of LMP2 with Skyactiv-D in Mazda Fan Festa. Yes, it's blue Lola chassis.
However, the concrete plan was not unveiled although it declared the participating plan to LM24 and ALMS. http://www.mazdafanfesta.com/notice/index.html |

But that part of it is still draft material... or maybe it was officially implemented?

I see, I guess I have to wait for 2017 to lift the rotary ban...

If they only sell it to 1 team, then it's an guaranteed Le Mans entry if the team wants it to race there. |

What do people think we will get out of tonight's BMW Motorsport announcement?
Z4 GTE in the ALMS? Hope it's not just confined to America but let's see... |

Would fly in the face of what a lot of people are saying which is that the Z4 GTE is headed for ALMS and WEC is being looked at. |

Seems like a bit of a comedown for a former world champion.

No word on the engine. Status has been rumoured as a potential Mazda candidate so let's see. I suppose there's an outside chance they could do Sebring if they are so well set up to race in the States. |

We heard a diesel from Mazda on a dyno, but we know it's 'crap'? I'll wait till I hear it in the back of an LMP to judge.
