Hmmm. Embarassing if he wins, against anything with AMR support!
Still, good luck to him, I say. I hear it was a bit um, quiet, at Britcar testing? |

Looks pretty sleak in that photo.
Driver appears sat low compared to most open cars even when you take the high sides into account. |

Adrian Fernandez tweeted that the AMR-One LMP1 plans to be at Lime Rock, Laguna Seca, and 2 other ALMS events in addition to Petit. This is all of course dependent upon funding, etc. http://www.tweetdeck.com/twitter/AdrianF007/~RWpqI

I think we should wait for the proof of the pudding, that mandatory fin is not helping the aesthetics IMO

even better report on piston heads, darren turner spills the beans about the engine not yet being capable of 550bhp therefore they cannot yet get to grip with the aero package.......well thats one way of putting it I suppose!

Indeed, they look like amateurs.
This comment of Darren Turner about the engine is not encouraging either: Quote:
