>>And
the answer is....Nissan P35. Mike Mulligan and J. Hova got
the correct answer. No prize, just the prestige of knowing your sports
cars!
Chris Randall and
his father are in the process of rebuilding the P35. It is one of
the aluminum monocoque variants of P35, thought to be car #2. Currently
the car is sans motor and Randall is looking to procure a light-weight,
Nissan NPTI, V6 turbo, that had been designed as an option for the P35.

car has retracted the Dyson MG-Lola story. But apparently
the Dyson team is going to run a Crawford at Homestead on an evaluation
basis.

>>Update
to the WR-Mazda 675 story. Apparently a 4-rotor Mazda engine
is being installed! So scratch the 2-rotor and 3-rotor speculation.
They're going for the Full Monty!

scoop! Dyson to race MG-Lola in ALMS!
>>More Dyson news. Unless
it is a mistake, under the entry list for the Homestead
Grand-Am race is a Crawford-Judd listed for car #16, Dyson racing.
Many thanks to Nelson Valkenburg for spotting that one.

plans clarified. Autoexe has entered a Mazda powered WR for Sebring.
The WR will be running in the LMP675 category. No mention to what
Mazda power unit, either the normally aspirated 3-rotor or turbo 2-rotor.
Considering that Dennis Spencer homologated his Lola-Mazda with turbo 2-rotor
power, that motor is the more likely candidate. Jim is listed in
the driver line up along with Yojiro Terada. The third driver is
yet to be named. Autoexe plans on entering Le Mans. Image courtesy
