The Dyson Lola is a hybrid 2011 LMP1/2010 LMP2--Dyson couldn't the the suspension kit for the wider wheels/tires soon enough, so IMSA ballasted up their cars and gave them a larger air restrictor to counter act the ballast. However, that setup is intermediate between a current LMP1 and the previous LMP2 setups, as they have stuck to the narrower LMP2 tires.
That's why there's seemingly little performance difference between the Lola AMR and the Dyson Lolas--the Dyson cars weight slightly less but the Lola Aston has wider tires.
The Autocon Lola should be reliable since the engine has been heavily cranked down--should save the Lola/Hewland gearbox. And for Intersport, they shouldn't be hand grenading engines left and right either for the same reasons.
