Interestingly, I remember an interview with George Howard Chapell on RLM a couple of years ago concerning the Vantage GT2 program, and essentially he admitted that this is exactly what they had done with that car - develop it on the cheap, and get up to speed through lobbying and performance balancing. I get the impression that this is AMR's way of going racing, and I'm not quite sure I like it...
