I had taken the Autosport story about this last week as possibly being an elaborate hoax, especially as it hadn't been reported elsewhere, but now we've got something a lot more like corroboration it strikes me as rather good news.

Three wheels could be ideal creative solution for 2014 - is it explicitly banned in the regs?

Given heritage of chassis etc will we have to refer to them as a Moroarolo or a Pescogan?

I wonder if there is any scope to get a British driver in one of these given the relationship? Or at least a colour change.

Don't bring the Deltawing in here and ruin another thread .

But it is an interesting revival of the small british brands in these years. First we see Lotus, then Caterham and now Morgan....
Will we see the TVR phoenix rise once again?

Mods:
Could this be a thread appropriate for all future "Oak-Pescarolo-Morgan" rumors and talk?

Pretty hard to tell how it sounds since the audio is extremely distorted.

Yeah, really. It just sounds like noise, not the real thing. Poor quality audio recording must be the reason.

I was thinking it was quite a good video until the car went out on the track and then we just get annoying distorted snippets. There must be a reason for that.......

Someone obviously thought it looked and sounded stylish. Didn't work for me.

Unfortunately the racing VK45DE has a flat-plane crank so it doesn't have the "American" sound of a cross-plane V8. Listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mypr...layer_embedded (Greaves Zytek-Nissan at Spa last year in practice) You might be thinking about the engine in the GT-R GT1.

The only distinction between this and the Judd HK in terms of sound is revs, the Nissan sounds like it's lower-revving.

an on-board car isn't the best way to judge the sound of an engine, btw i've seen too much videos of sgt races of last years and the sound of VK45 (and his big brother that powered the gt-r gt1) resembles a lot the sound of an american low revlimit sound
