Just amazing how things changed since 2011!!!!
I saw a onboard lap with the Peugeot 908 in 2011 and compared to the 2015 Porsche 919 and the acceleration of both cars are so diferent because of the hybrid "kick"... unbelievable stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO6tRAigC3M vs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edwv-2SwWdM |

Kolles has brought up the current LMP1, as well as the old Lola-Judd LMP2 for Monza testing!

That's interesting. Wonder whether they are planning some races with that car?

Even if the chassis is near obsolete soon, it would be fun to have a team running both LMP1 and LMP2 cars simultaneously, we haven't had that for a while. Though it's interesting that it's the B12/80 here, not T128 which would've had more in common with the CLM

Or some interested party involved in that new UK series accepting old LMP2s wants to buy the chassis and it is now being shakedowned. Would make more sense than with real ACO series given that there will be billion more sensible and modern options for grandfathered P2s, than old Lola. It's fine for more club-ish environment

Either that, or they can approximate some setup parameters on the Lola and give the drivers more seat time in parallel? Or doing brief driver evaluations for later in the season? All depends on who was actually driving the old Lola.

That can only still be the sprint aero.....
Btw, only now I realised the position of the exhaust exit(the same position as on Ford GT, Oreca P2......). Strange, I thought this rule was the same for all P1s. If it is, then I wonder why LMP1-Hs don't do the same thing as putting it there might help sealing the underbody more. |

Well at least it could be in the "old" LMP2 spec and with bigger restrictors
Though even in current specs, it would likely outperform the CLM in 24 hour race through to reliability, assuming it was run competently |

Brief ByKolles at Monza onboard footage reel... yes you heard it right, miracles are happening
https://twitter.com/oliverjameswebb/...128320?lang=fi They need to demand ACO to install camera for the car at LM, and not the dummy-weight-replacement. |

A) Take some GoPros and put them on CLM B) Blow dust off and prep Lola B12/80 for Money-Man C) Go to Tentenths and see lively discussion about these |

Well at least the drivers are sharing their experience now even if the team was a bit quiet with the PR in the past. |

Awesome little video and even more the angles of those onboard cams
Does ByKolles have an youtube account? They should upload onboard videos into something like that |

Forgive my ignorance, but did Kolles ever run that Lola in period? Don't recall it
