The three Ligier chassis fielded by Tequila Patrón ESM and OAK Racing all utilize the production-based 2.8-liter Honda HR28TT V6 engine, developed for competition by HPD from the Honda 'J35' series of passenger vehicle V6 engines, with improvements including twin turbochargers. Key production-based components include the block and cylinder heads, direct-injection fuel system, valve train components, drive-by-wire throttle, alternator, sensors and fasteners. The engine even features a stock Honda oil filter. The 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship takes a two-month break before resuming at the famed Nurburgring in Germany on August 23. Jon Fogarty (#31 Tequila Patrón ESM Ligier JS P2 Honda): 'We were just trying to race as clean as possible. It looked like everybody had their share of issues this weekend, but we had a handful fewer than some of the other teams. We drove our own race. My comfort level with the Ligier-Honda and at Le Mans has definitely improved. It's amazing because a full stint is only 10 laps. In eight miles of track, there is a lot to learn. Johannes van Overbeek and Ed Brown, co-drivers both had a great race and we finished seventh. It was a great effort by the whole team. When we come back here again, it will be a massive improvement from this year.'
