This little engine has been racing since 2012 when it ran it's first race at Le Mans. It was started in 56th position, the place granted to new technology vehicles not allowed to race for points. It has raced most all IMSA and Le Mans races since. It has been through several iterations since it first set wheels on a race track, starting as an open cockpit to the current coupe version finally doing well last season and is doing quite well so far this season. Last weekend it placed 5th overall at Laguna Seca. It is racing with the prototype class cars in a special design they call the delta wing car. Unfortunately It is currently an unclassified prototype so even if it wins a race it can't collect points for driver or manufacturer.
