Ligier/Onroak vs Oreca
nach dem Testtag werden "Freundlichkeiten".. ausgetauscht und bei Onroak ist man not amused, dass Oreca mit Toyota (wohl auch bei der LM aero der P2) zusammenarbeitet:
Onroak are unamused:
Onroak Automotive’s Philippe Dumas was rather less than impressed with the results of the Test Day for the seven Ligier JS P217s on the entry, the best scoring just 14th place in the order, ‘best of the rest’ behind no fewer than 13 ORECA 07 Gibsons, Filipe Albuquerque posting a 3:33.581 in the afternoon session in the #32 United Autosports car.
“The order is barely surprising when you consider that one car had a substantial developmental advantage (the Oreca 07 upgradeable from the previous 05 chassis whilst the other three 2017 cars had to start from scratch), plus their experience in LMP1 with the Rebellion and having the facilities at Toyota to help with their aero development (the ORECA design team utilising the facilities at TMG in Cologne, ORECA also holding a role of technical and logistical support for the Toyota Gazoo Racing LMP1 factory team in the FIA WEC.) ED – This is specifically denied by an ORECA spokesman who says that TMG facilities were not used in the development of the ORECA 07.
