the thing about that is that time had essentially run out as far as development on the SR2, since it has ben around for at least 5 years. It was time for a new approach.
Seeing what Courage had done with the C65, this year alone, seems to have been enough for Lucchini to put forth an effort with the newer LMP rules in place.
I'm asking the same about the Lola as well, Mike. Hopefully, there'll be a test mule on the tracks by PLM-time, and a working racer by Sebring.
