GT1 engine homologation for LMP1 rule question.
Since GT1 engines are allowed to be used in LMP1 cars on equal par with purpose built engines now, I have a question.
Does displacement count, as the 7.0 V8 used in the Corvettes is approved, but is 1 liter over the LMP1 limit? And could one dust off a Panoz Elan V8 and use it a LMP1 car under this rule, as it's basically the same engine as the Ford V8 used in the Saleen S7 aside from displacement(6 vs 7 liters) and some details, namely the air box? What is the criteria that the ACO is using aside from a production limit? |
