I remember the news conference mentioning that Speedsource got the first 5 engines off the line, so I don't think they would have had to wait for a 2nd?
Agreed that more testing would have been better, though given how Ferrari did last season, it's not a strict rule that first season cars will be hard pressed to win.
I expect many are seeing the 24hrs to be a massive testing session, with a chance at winning.

Mazda are in this with SA-D to sell product, no one I know of in the Mazda camp has ever race diesels before (I am talking Mazda worldwide), I prefer them to take the time first, get it right, and then launch race car publicly.

nope..they have done 8 or 10 laps....oil level can't be increased....and a reset of computer and oil change will solve all."engine blown" is the right answer IMHO
remember my old post : "+400 hp 2.2 diesel is NOT an easy task to do." 
i've see on tv a lot of fire in New South wales, are you living there?
here in Italy is not so cold in these days ,always over 0°C also here at North.

The GT list is... almost humorous
Counts by car:
Porsche disappeared when there was competition from the 8... will they do the same thing with the Ferrari?
