Dudley has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

More likely it will have the opposite effect.

The big teams have the resources to come to grips with anything new quicker.

Thats a surprising assessment Dudley in view of the test at Sebring.

I believe that Derrick Walker or maybe it was Dale Coyne said that they support Dudley's opposite effect. One of them said they expect a team like NH to be quicker faster because of the resources available to them. Sebring was the first three days and who knew what the teams were showing or not showing. The real advancements will be shown in Las Vegas and the next week at Long Beach IMO.

I don't think so; finding 2nd hand Lolas would have cost them way less, instead of a brand new Panoz.

It's just testing, even the best times from Sebring were off what I'd expect that car to be doing at full pelt.

At first yes, but the parts for the Panozs are massively cheaper.

^ I don't know about that. Dale Coyne has been around for a long time.

Long term in this case means "2 races in or the first time your idiot rookie paydriver crashes".
