Aardvark Results

The Aardvark test results are not as suprising as the Aerion run. However, the 2.0L I4 Hybrid actually comes out on top in the Aardvark run. Overall, because the Forged dominated the Aerion run and only narrowly missed winning in the Aardvark, it was crowned king of the F1 McLaren engines.
