So Strakka decided to go the right way. It does not help to try to race a car which is not sorted out. |

John Dagy reports in its Friday Spa notes that Strakka will not be on track until May 27, only 5 days before the official LM test day for a two day private test.
Well the team report they will sort out the problems on the S103 in a series of private tests sounded quite good. This news did not. Only one test shortely before the LM test day is not a good preparation. Did they have a serious problem which needed to redevelop and rebuild some parts of the car or why did they not run earlier? |

The situation surrounding this car is a concern for the series, will it, won't it....
It would be good if the team got on top of their problems the wec clearly need more cars out there. |

They already said that they are in the same stage as Rebellion but they choose to do the testing in private instead of in public. No need to panic. Listen to Radio Le Mans. The car will be fast.

Indeed to say more, when this story was posted the car was actually on track and testing, wonder how the site in question got it so wrong? Last edited by ss_collins; 5 May 2014 at 20:37. |

Bit restricted in what I can say but the car has already conducted airfield runs (no secret there) and at least a couple of private tests. One of these tests was taking place on Friday when the site posted its story.
I saw the car before the prologue, and know that the team could have taken the same approach as Rebellion did at Spa at Silverstone and/or Spa. The car will be at the Le Mans test and it should be darned quick. |

Thanks for that. I am glad to see more and more japanese interest. I can only hope Strakka and Domes partnership sparks more interest in their projects. Nissan coming is hopefully a sure thing as well.

has an aggressive look! and like the new ligier lmp2, these cars look a lot like lmp1 more than lmp2. The front of the car seems an epsilon euscadi 2.0

The front looks like some sort of mix between the Bentley Speed 8 and the Epsilon Euskadi.

Looks absolutely nothing like a Ligier, or the HPD, which is brilliant to see.
Really interested to see the pace of the new P2 cars. The Orecas and Morgans are still Courage-derived machines and the Zytek is no spring chicken. Surely all this new aero work is going to reduce lap times, especially when the potential is realised? |

well the power more or less for everyone being used the nissan engine, of course coupè lmp2 will produce less drag and more downforce than open lmp2
