A pair of Diesel engined Radical SR10's will run the full ALMS season this year if plans being put together by Ian Dawson's Eco Project team come to fruition. "We are taking both cars to Sebring" explains the teams driver and sponsor Simon Wright, "we will be doing the full ALMS with both cars and may do the Silverstone LMS round."

Despite two cars being present in Florida, only one will race "we didn't have time to enter both, and St. Pete will be difficult because its so close to Sebring!" Currently the AER-VW powered cars
will be fueled on the same control fuel used by Audi and Peugeot but the team hopes to switch to a full bio fuel later in the year. The two SR10's are to be housed at an as yet unknown motoring college in the USA which will also be supplying students to mechanic the cars.

The three driver Sebring lineup lists British open-wheel and sportscar veteran Ben Collins, team owner and fellow Brit Simon Wright, and Finnish Rallying and Le Mans ace Harri Toivonen. Drivers for the second car set to debut after Sebring have yet to be announced.
