I think these are lease only. And with the limits Indycar will set on these engines once their put on a dyno with boost and rev limit restrictions, you won't see any chance for these things to blow up unless the manufacturer itself just can't produce.

I may even suggest that if any of these manufacturers embarrasses itself and has a problem keeping up with the pack that bar may be "lowered" so it has a chance to be competitive.
