Since we have 2 ESM's, 1-2 Andretti Autosport.
Good question. If I recall the DP version of the engine is slightly larger in displacement than the P2 version. That being said, I think the new coupe for next year will use the current P2 engine, which leads me to believe there is little HPD involvement in the DP project. Has this info been clarified anywhere?
