Until the end of 2006 hybrids are allowed. Isn't it more plausible Courage will build an full LMP1 for 2007?

So they will develop a new chassis? And new engine? The 3.4 V8 is a bit small to power a heavier LMP1 car.

Indeed, racing the hybrid LMP1 for only 1 year does not make to much sense.

JAG should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridJAG should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridJAG should be qualifying in the top 3 on the grid
New chassis, increased capacity engine.

Isn't it a 4l V8 in the A1 GP car?

The A1 GP engine is a 3.4-litre V8 with a similar spec to the current ZG348 sportscar engine in the 04S. However, Zytek do have a 4.0-litre V8 (ZB408) which would probably be more suitable for LMP1.

Okay, I forgot about that one.

On the Zytek website (here) they indeed list 2 versions of their V8 (both same size and 90 degree):
* ZG 348: 3396 cc, 540 bhp @ 9500 rpm and 325 lbft @ 8,000 rpm (restricted for LMP 675)
* ZB 408: 3998 cc, 700 bhp @ 10500 rpm and 390 lbft @ 8500 rpm (unrestricted)

Comparison with Judd GV4: V10 (72 degree), 3997 cc
* over 600 BHP @ 10250 rpm, 355 lbft @ 8500 rpm (with 48mm intake restrictor)
* over 700 BHP @ 10500 rpm, 375 lbft @ 8500 rpm (no intake restrictor)

They have a spare Lola LMP2 chassis.

One in LMP1, one in LMP2?

Nasamax said they intend to return with an all new LMP1. That ECO prize should spur them on......

Accoring to lmsr.net Autoweek reports that Cosworth is working on a twin turbo V8 for customer LMP1 projects. Finally some alternative to the popular Judd V10s.

interesting . that would be the first customer V8 Turbo for LMP1 ..
all the others were atmos .. (Diesel not included)
hopefuly the V8 will be a bit more reliable compared to their 4 cyl turbo


PS . any news about that Ferrari V8 Turbo ??
