I didn't think Nakajima would make a great endurance driver but he's proven me wrong. Maybe Kobayashi could do the same. For sure he'd be quick. Would prefer to see another Japanese manufacturer step up with Kamui in their ranks. |

Kobayashi is a Toyota driver. I don't see him with another Japanese make if Toyota is there. That's if he even goes to the WEC.

Certainly a way to super charge the rumorverse. Answer isn't forthcoming for while per the wording of the release. It does seem like end of relationship with Porsche because they thank the spectrum of people at Porsche.

Still, I have a feeling that the Flying Lizards would race in a BMW Z4! |

According to http://www.dysonracing.com/company/n...p?news_id=1223 the Flybrid system mainly helps in traffic.

The Flybrid spokesperson at the Dyson pavilion at PLM said the system was running half-power this season as a test of durability, and would be turned up next year.
At 40 kg the system is supposed to offer better power:weight than most too I believe. |

Thanks. I imagine they can still easily be at 900kg even with that extra weight.

Is that the LFA that was being developed for GT2 before being canned?
