It is said that Bobby Rahal quite enjoys it as well. Risi, well, not so much!

Maybe they won't get quite so many breaks as last year if the engine is improved, but the ALMS will provide BoP for any reason possible it seems. Drayson got a pretty large restrictor break just because he sucked at driving. The Muscle Milk RS Spyder got a break compared to the Highcroft car in 2010.

Reliability wasn't so much the problem last year (in the races at least, I think there may have been 1 or 2 problems in practice), but the issue could have been that the engines were tuned down a bit to get reliability with BoP making up the difference. If so, Dyson should be ashamed of themselves.

It'll be interesting to see what this new engine can do, but how will the ALMS know what BoP to give this new car if it does not run before Sebring? IMSA can set their own rules for ALMS cars at Sebring and I'm sure Dyson will want that BoP if they need some and I would think that they would compared to the mighty ARX-03a of Muscle Milk. Also, how are the isobutanol fuel regulations? Fair?
