Why should $50k, even $100k be such a huge deal when it costs $1m+ for a single RS Spyder or Aston DBR9, with plenty of takers?
Teams aren't lining up for an Epsilon or Riley because they haven't produced a competitive ACO car for 10+ years, if ever.
If Lola's coupe goes into productin I have no doubt they'd be snapped up, even at a $100k premium over an open car. Coupes would be a magnet for sponsors, just as the Astons are in the GT1 class.
Aren't we always told Grand Am isn't neccessarily cheaper to run in than the ALMS, as it's the running costs and infrastructure that contribute to the bulk of costs?
