I'm certainly no expert, but very kind of you to say so.
We do not yet know for sure. we are just basing these assumption (which look to be correct) on BoP values.
However, I would not be surprised that we see this engine appearing in the 991RSR later in the year (after Le Mans) in order to have it race tested before offering it to clients. (mojelme and I have discussed this on another forum)
This is a development year for the 991, so I expect that the ACO/FiA will be lenient with the rules.
Thanks..well, you know the rules quite well. ..The question is to me now, will BMW, Ferrari etc accept this without ease..I mean they know pretty well that keeping Porsche on the "leash" is just to their benefit..letting Porsche do something...which others (except BMw?) haven not been allowed to..and can Porsche be sure - that the Fia would accept their request? Sounds like playing with fire..where Porsche doesnt have much control on the fire..many ifs in here..
Hmm, I would hazard to guess all the variables were taken into consideration... :)
You can look at it in different way, the current 991 is racing with the older engine through a waiver. So insted of thinking of the engine chage as development, the FIA can consider it as simply being removal of the waiver :) Ferrari has been preatty leanient about other manufacturers so far, I dont think they'll opose an earlier 991 as oposed to the current situation which is ridiculus.. I mean the FIA just gave the same BoP to 2 cars (probably) only based on the engine spacs. It's like they didn't even think the 991 will have a much better aero and chassis.
Don't think BMW has much say in it, as it's so iligal it would be rediculus for it to complain for anything other then someone using rocket boosters..
