ModelT should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

LMP1 is now dead and we're just waiting for it to be buried.

How Ginetta expect to sell cars with that back-drop baffles me.

The new Category will be much cheaper than LMP1, far less complicated and will utilize a much simpler type of hybrid system.

That suggests to me that privateers should be able to buy and run these cars and compete with the factory entries.


Read the ACO Press Release, cheaper for the OEM's and 3 times more expensive for Privateers

Don't you think that spells out quite clearly the ACO'S viewpoint of Privateer entrants and needing them racing?
