Roush Yates, Project Libra Complete First Test For ALMS 3.2L V6 TT Ford-Based Engine

http://paddocktalk.com/news/html/story-184172.html

The engine project, under development for the past 18 months in association with Project Libra based here, received significant Roush Yates in-house engineering and dynamometer testing and analysis. It was with great satisfaction to all involved to at last witness the car and engine package on the race track for the first time earlier this month.

The Roush Yates/Project Libra developmental collaboration to design, produce, install, and complete a successful first on-track test of the engine - covering some 200 track miles with no issues - was a triumph for the entire group.

The substantially revised Radical LMP2 offered a well-proven chassis true to cost cap regulations. With the addition of the new engine, this also marks a milestone for a Roush Yates engine entry into the American Le Mans Series Championship.
Project Libra, motivated by the collaboration with the Doug Yates-led company, as well as the engineering input from both parties to see the all-new 3.2L V6 Twin Turbo engine turn a wheel for the first time, looks forward to a long and successful Roush Yates association. Having stayed true to one of the most genuine cost capped concept cars built - the Radical LMP2 - Project Libra continues to upgrade and develop what was originally a very fast and reliable design, which showcases Radical race chassis' global presence.

The program which has stayed under wraps for the entire build program sees the team enter the only Radical Manufactured chassis in the category fitted with the first of the Ford based Production engines to compete in LMP2 . This is a new and exciting period for the team which can give us the platform to compete at the highest level and re define our future goals.

Not sure. I had read the team was trying to make Sebring, but that didn't happen. Perhaps the team/car will be ready by Long Beach.
