" Hybrid debut " :

" Having received approval for its battery system from the FIA, Corsa Motorsports' Ginetta-Zytek 09 hybrid will make its ALMS debut at Lime Rock. The prototype, which combines an ethanol-fueled 4.0-liter V8 with an on-board lithium-ion energy-storage system, was to have been raced at Miller Motorsports Park two months ago but had to be crash-tested to ensure its battery pack could withstand an impact of 60 Gs."

"We have the car equivalent of the space shuttle now," Corsa owner Steve Pruitt said of the hybrid, which is driven by Johnny Mowlem and Stefan Johansson. "It's been a long, costly process to this point, but we're encouraged by the capabilities and testing."
