supercharger! sounds like a 'must have' for Christof

[PetrolTed]

I must stress, this is unsubstantiated, although it would make sense as a Le Mans entry would need some healthy horses to be competitive.

[christof]

Yeah, I need it !!! Need more power

Well, seems that I must have a chat with John Ravenscroft about this

[MikeE]

Ted, are you sure about the T350s, I thought a decision was being made yesterday? (or do you know something I don't?)

[FunkyNige]

There's a lot of work involved in meeting Le Mans regulations

Just curious, what work needs to be done that's different from racing in the British GT?
Edit - preview is my friend.

I was at the Factory yesterday and was 'let in' to see the car under construction, but my camera had to remain firmly in my pocket . The car is due to be shipped to Sebring next week and if it does well (ie completes a lap) it will be entered for Le Mans.

It never had an engine in it so I couldn't say if it's going to be supercharged, although they weren't expecting me to lean against the door marked 'No Unauthorised Personel' which made me fall into the race shop and there were no signs of any spurious pipes and belts. I was able to pick up the bonnet and it must have weighed about 3 kilos, so there are other ways of getting the power-weight-ratio up.

Supercharger eh?
Depending on how big the air restrictors will be in Le Mans it must be a bright idea!

Dont Forget the Tasmin Challenge aswell.......

Wouldn't it have to be a hoooge engine with a SuperC to get anything like enough power (I thought they sapped engine power across the range). Stick with the naturally aspirated thoughts....for GTO/N

....and to answer one of the queries above (British vs ACO reg's) - there are some firewall and spoiler issues (amongst others) but nothing too ridiculously different. Should be very interesting over qualifying - but having just watched that Racer's Group Porsche and Risi Ferrari's go at it for 24 hours, there's a few durability questions.

Oh and if you get to see any Daytona highlights, look out for the other Racer's Group smash after an all-course yellow
