Maybe they'd get a kick out of knowing a motor like that was pumped to 575Hp and just won the race they watched.
Or, they still won't give a crap.
The funny thing about Lola...they built a wind tunnel model, just like they did for their 2002 submission. Cost them $750K back then.
Their cheif guy who left after negotiations with the IRL broke down? Dan Partel.

Maybe that formula would work, but I tend to think you really need 900 hp cars with lots of noise. The cars need to be difficult to drive and a challenge. We need entertainment and a spectacle.
Lola has bigger fish to fry than the irl. Motorsport is only a portion of their business now.
