Re: OT,LeMans



The site must not have been updated cause that's the poop on last years
race.
This year one of the ROC Auto Reynard VW's finished fifth, 1st in LMP
675 beating the pants off the much hyped MG and Barbour racing entries.
Engine was a 2.0 T Volkswagen. 
I can't find any data on the engine, but a dim little memory tells me I
saw something a long time ago that it was based on the 16V. I've got to
find this out cause all the 1.8T babies on Vortex that can barely find
the ignition key will ASSUME it's based on the 20V engine and start
pounding their chests.
