brielga should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
whatever it is:
-Martin & crew deserve the best and a quick competitive car
-this thread is the best fun for a long time

All said I hope for a complete surprise with none of the options above ;-)

The "FeedMeSportscars" site is betting on an Audi R10. As well as making noises about a Cosworth engine as another option.

would it have anything to do with the V10 Diesel being jointly developed by Ricardo and Judd......the last I heard was that the government funded MIA had given a grant of about £50,000 in order to get an engine up and running........perhaps the project is now in a state where it can be installed into a chassis and is ready for the track????.......

other than that, I have got my money on the new 5.5 V10 Judd........there is no other petrol engine even in the league of the 5.0 at the mo, when the 5.5 comes into the picture and the R10 fuel tanks get clipped - it will be a cracking engine.......and I'm talking 24hr races........not your wimpy sprint races over a few hours

I guess the engine will the big surprise, not the chassis. I see 3 surprising choices: Cosworth, Nissan, Ricardo diesel. I assume Rollcentre will go for a proven customer chassis: Lola, Courage, Pescarolo or perhaps Creation/KWL.

Highcrofts operation is small too and look whose gone with them , and Dayton may still do the driving .

I asked Graham Goodwin about possible Lola entries for 07 back at the LMS race at donington and he just gave me a meaningful smile, paused and then said: Watch this space closely DSC is close to rollcentre so maybe Graham already knew at donington!

would love to see them racing an R10. Imagine the rivalry we could have in the LMS! Pesca vs Rollcentre Audi. Mouthwatering prospect but lets be fair to rollcentre. Any toplevel LMP1 they race will be at the front so just getting them back to LMP1 is a huge thing. im eagerly waiting for the news
