ORECA considers building LMP1

EI had an interview with Hugues De Chaunac during the LMS HTTT test: http://www.endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=3374

Quote:
« Ce que l’on peut dire aujourd’hui, c’est que nous menons une réflexion sur la possibilité de construire une LMP1, un proto Oreca. Oreca a les compétences pour monter un tel projet mais ce projet a ses contraintes et ses limites. Nous y réfléchissons, nous travaillons sur le dossier et notamment sur deux aspects essentiels : le soutien d’un motoriste et le budget. Je pense que nous en saurons un peu plus après Le Mans, mais il est tôt pour en parler puisque ce serait pour l’horizon 2009 »

What one can say today, it is that we carry out a reflexion on the possibility of building a LMP1, a proto Oreca. Oreca has competences to assemble such a project but this project has its constraints and its limits. We are thinking about it, we are working on the file and in particular on the two essential aspects: the support of a engine builder and the budget. I think that we will know a little more after Mans, but it is early to speak about it since it would be for the horizon 2009.
