Some Frankenstein, but since Renault is dumping all money in stupid F1 project there is nothing to support these cars, they only give Vukovic their blessing

And yet TCR is "production car" racing as against Supercars "frankensteins"

At least GRM & the Kelly's had spare engines (well KR had one anyway).

I'd love to see them in an invitational class at the 12hr but I wonder how many would finish.
