As for the other point, at least it was Audi was who funded and provided the entire basis for Dallara to build the car... It wasn't a rebranded, tech frozen chassis already pre-built by someone else where on top you just slapped something (if even that) and called the thing your own |
Agree, speaking about AMR, at the end it was just a IP rights matter.
Prodrive didn't pay for rights so AMR couldn't drop lola from the name of the car.
Other example, 2014-2016 mazda's in IMSA were clearly 2 modified lola b12/80; but mazda bought IP rights from multimatic (who had license to keep on producing lola lmp1/lmp2 parts) so the car became officially a generic "mazda prototype".
Same about AMR-One, or oak pescarolo lm2 that became morgan lmp2... rebadge warfare.
