Acura ARX-01b

Well it seems that Yves will have at least Acura as a customer next year. link I wonder if the rest of the bits and pieces will be for sale from Acura or if it will only be proprietary for the teams involved. Also from the sound of the article I wonder if Fernandez will be in an 01b, as they (Acura) concentrate on serviceability of the new car, or on their own? Also does this mean they deem the current tub viable and might retain it to build the 01b on or are they going for a new design from Courage, different pick-up points and such to make it easier to componentize the car for ease of repair etc..?

Also with not building the tub themselves for 08 just why do they have their panties in a bunch? It IMO seems to be enough lead time to design a coupe as well as if it were a roadster, but then again in the article it seemed as if Clarke was backpeddling on his stand a little, and that it might actually be liveable if the coupe is mandated in P-1.

L.P.
