Like the illegitimate love-child of a liaison between a Lister LMP1 and a WR LMP2 ?

U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi....Good on them for developing this sort of project with limited funds. But it is even uglier then the original. I hope it is faster then it looks.
Damn that is f-ugly |

DSC has a side-on (courtesy of Mike H).
Tasty looking car. Becuase it is all black you dont to nitice those awful (but functional, I guess) little plates either side of the tunnels at the back. |

I just don't know why they would keep the airbox above the roll-hoop as well as having one in the better spot in the passenger crash structure...

More conventional than the original car, certainly; but it looks a bit scrappy, if you ask me. Still, what matters is how it goes, which remains to be seen.

has a touch of the zyteks about the front end. It's a pity they couldn't come up with something really ugly like the first one though.

From the little pics on the Lister site, I thought cooling air was directed through, rather than over, the suspension to sidepod mounted radiators (like on the Speed 8 and the Storm lmp900, and the way I would have done it
 ), reducing lift and possibly enhancing the front diffuser's effectiveness. But it appears the radiator sits on top of the diffuser Not all the air from the intake goes to the radiator, I think. Certainly an unusual feature these days. I think it looks good, except that weird airbox. What's the deal with that, does it still have the old intake above the driver's head??? |

I do really really like the look of that car from the side... Still looks weird from a frontal point of view, but I'm liking it!

i don't think they had that many hours in a tunnel, in dsc someone from lister, i think it was laurence pearce, said that they don't know what ride height it should be ran. this race will be a 1000km test.
this said, it a good looking sportscar. maybe not good looking in the beautiful sense, but certainly purpose-full without being too brutal. |

At first I really didnt like this car, now though its starting to grow on me. Dont know if it will ever become one of my favourites but Ive seen a lot worse, the Debora immiedtly springs to mind for example. It looks like a good car though, hopefully it goes well too.

The GMS-Durango, the Debora, the WR and the Promec all come to mind when looking at it, mainly from the front. Luckily, the side views reminds me of the 333SP and the rear-end aero treatment seems to be ripped-off the Pescarolo hybrid. One more car at the front (for a while? or longer since the mechanical side is left unchanged) at this weekend's race? Judging by the Snetterton times not too far from the Zytek and Bentley on worn rubber in an hybrid, it could improve drasticly a bit like the Pescarolo after its low-budget winter transformation.
I wonder what Andrew Thorby thinks of it. They've kept his chassis and played around with his aero concept... |
