Sorry on the above post...Mulsanne Mike's site seems to indicate that the C65 is built to LMP2 specs....and notes that it will have a "long shelf life"

But I also looked up the WR on his site....it is carbon fiber, so it will be an LMP1....

Note to Mr. Downing:

Since your WR chassis weighs 855 kg. with that Mazda engine and you're going to have to race as an LMP1 next year, you might as well figure out a way to change the engine cowling and drop a 6.0 L V-8 in it to make the car over 900 kg.

At least you'll have the horsepower to haul the extra 120 lbs. or so, and it might make you more competitive....

Here is another Question:

Since the DBA chassis was crash tested for both the 675 and the 900 categories, would it be worth considering running a turbo engine in that car that would either be about the same size as the Zytek engine or maybe a little bigger and just revise its cowling and intake systems?

Your thoughts????
