While we are waiting for the update kit for our P1 car we fitted a Langford long stroke DFV to this Williams FW-08...

Oddly enough that is pretty much the process that I undertook last evening with building a spudzooka with a friend of mine. We don't have accents though. Starting fluid + electric spark = oooh a little! Try again!Where in CT is that? That is pretty sweet. Reminds me of the classic F1 races at limerock. |

Very nice. Was there a green fluid in the throttle bodies/injector stacks thingamajig or was that an optical illusion? The throttle slides are anodized green, the fluid you see is fuel coming from the injectors which are above the slides. You can see them projecting from the rear of the trumpets in the video. |

Great post OP. Really amazing power from such a small displacement power-plant. I was tickled to get 620 hp from 358 cubes on alcohol. Looks like you have much better engine management though. Your video made me think of this one (I thought it might start "singing"  ): |

I worked in the UK for a good bit of 2009-10, and I was in serious withdrawal due to the lack of both ALMS and Rolex on the tube. I'm looking forward to watching your car on Speed this year. If I can swing it, I'll try and go to Road America this year. Be fun to have an Arfcom section at the track. m |

ALMS signed some fucked up deal with ABC/ESPN. The 12 Hour will not be televised live, it will be some 3 or 4 hour highlight show in the Sunday after. |

It was a hoot watching the GT40s, Porsches, and Ferraris on an old B&W TV.

To all intents and purposes P2 has become P1 with a few changes, we will use the HPD engine again. |

You gonna run as P1 or P2 at LeMans? |

lambo was in F1? Wasn't that only for a few years before they went back to just boats?
Sounds like...heaven. My favorite sound from F1 has to be the Lamborghini V-12 from 1990...... Martin Donnelly had a horriffic accident in one, IIRC. Yes, Lotus/Lambo. Not going to include the link because it's a bummer. |

Nice. Takes me back to 1967 when I watched Jim Clark win the USGP, even as he crossed the finish line with a broken rear hub carrier. That was back when cars still looked like cars, without the wings and flippers that came just a few years later. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You gonna run as P1 or P2 at LeMans? Larry, this year the ALMS is reverting back to separate Prototype classes, P1, P2 and LMPC. For Le Mans we are running in P1 although our invitation was for a P2 entry based on last year, we asked the ACO to make an exception and they agreed. Going up against the Audis and Peugeots is a monumental task as you can imagine. |

I hear Aston Martin is running a P1 and building customer cars and that they are also going to field a GT car. Don't know if that will also be factory or strictly customer cars. |
