Jeepers, I wonder if Bayliss is trying to prove a point!

The Ilmor is only 3 seconds off pole too.

Yeah, can't wait to see the race!
While it's great to see the Ilmor out there doing it, 3 secs is a long time in this company. I know it's already only 800cc, but the other 800's are already lapping at lap record pace, so they've still gotta lot of work to do. Be nice to see another 'brand' getting up the factories though!

[James Deuce]

Yeah, but the Ilmor's been 5 or 6 seconds off the pace elsewhere, so they've really cranked something up, plus they are testing in public and started about 3 months after everyone else. They've managed to go from two lifetimes slower to one.
