New Epsilon Euskadi LMP1 for 2007 - Page 3

bil588 · 6 Jun 2007, 23:29 (Ref:1930773)

http://www.racecar-engineering.com/ had a great article on the Epsilon EE-LMP1-07 in their April, 2007 issue. Lots of stuff about its low CG, local suppliers, aero, etc.

I think Michael meant Barazi would not be pursuing it. There is a close link between Barazi/Epsilon and Epsilon/Euskadi but they are not one and the same. I assume that if E-E finds the right funding the project could become real, let's hope we do not have another Zulltec story here.

free copy of the aforementioned article will be on offer at the TT get together in the village

It is a bit sad that they had to adopt the ugly Peugeot nose

I realy like the air intakes in the roof. Much nice than the huge snorkles of Peugeot.

In general it looks much better than the Peugeot.

I think it says somewhere here that the roof scoop has been dropped in favour of a NACA duct. Sorry to spoil your fun.

gwyllion · 20 Dec 2007, 16:50 (Ref:2092795)

At least it won't have the ugle Peugeot snorkles.

The Dome S102 still looks better though.

**FIRE** · 20 Dec 2007, 18:31 (Ref:2092876)

600 Hours of wind tunnel testing. A promising project

It's indeed a shame they switched to the single seater nose

The359 · 20 Dec 2007, 18:32 (Ref:2092877)

It certainly looks the business now.

scoff · 20 Dec 2007, 18:43 (Ref:2092883)

I just need to make this comment about the Dome.

I ******* love the body of the new Dome. I hope for christmas they sign a contract with Yokohama just to give it the Advan Colors. It would be one of the very best looking cars in the history of Le Mans.

oh yeah...

the latest picture of the evolved epsilon car looks truly stunning, the more I hear about this project the more I think this car could be a flier in the right hands, would be great to see them sell a few

Indeed...12 weeks in the tunnel? 60 days? That's right up there with Audi and Porsche I would like to think. That's impressive. To couple that with continuing development next year at the same rate?

JAG · 20 Dec 2007, 23:35 (Ref:2093051)

So whose funding all this and what calbre of drivers will they have.

For the drivers, I think that all we know is that it will be an all Spanish line-up, with a possibility of a Spanish rally driver.

Just curious as to a ball park $ figure to date, based on the wind tunnel hours assumed, any idea?

That's somewhat of a tough one because it depends tremendously on hourly rates. Over here in the U.S. the rate is about $1000/hr. So that makes this pretty easy, US$600,000 just for their testing (that's not including the model or development parts).

Wow! So you could be easily looking at a mil to date + more next season. You would have to figure that they have some substantial money behind them, and that's just to get the car built, no allowing for a racing budget.

Wonder who is funding it all?

ss_collins · 21 Dec 2007, 18:21 (Ref:2093455)

Mike thats cheap - exchange rates are very nice things!

I reckon a european tunnel could be a fair wedge more

Set up with the assistance of local government funding, it has its sight set firmly on the sport's premier category.

alwayswatching · 21 Dec 2007, 18:34 (Ref:2093466)

Cool!, I wonder which local Government has this kind of funding to spread about!?

Local government sponsorship? I don't think they will have Spanish drivers

ss_collins · 21 Dec 2007, 19:15 (Ref:2093492)

Basque!

Yep. Orange livery?
