OK guys, good stuff indeed, but I think we'll limit the free advertising there, eh?

I am not affiliated with either CvO or Radical...
so this won't be a commercial.... I just wish to encourage both CvO and/or Radical to move forward with these projects.... I agree with tblincoe....the market certainly is available here in North America for a good, affordable LMP2, and teams will want to buy it...both companies have good reputations.... I wish you the best in your endeavors... |

Interesting to see all these club-protos looking to step up. I wonder if Hartham (who posted here a little while ago) might be able to ramp up their "club racer" GTP to P2 spec?
http://www.hartham.com/ If anything, this is looking to me like the nascent C2/GTP Lite category. |

According to Dailysportscar.com, Juno is taking a look at possibly building an LMP2 as well....

Anything on the lines of existing racing Radical customers who would give major support/sponsorship? They would already know how Radicals tend to work, so would be ideal for helping out or being the platform for a works team?

 I didn't believe in this category, that I found weak and boring two years ago.I changed my mind in 2004... well, I should say "the C65" made me change my mind, in November 2003, when the LMP675 won the category at the 6 hours of LM, and finished 4th overall... and the 2004' season was brilliant. |

According to the last Le Mans Racing issue, a new french P2 builder announced a crash test for April, and a possible LMES entry for the last races of the championship in 2005.
Its name is Zulltec (launched by Yves Cazard and Mane Vignjevic) ; first tests are planned for July, but the car will be unvailed at LM in June. The engine is a MCT (ex TWR engine division), V8 3.4 liters. If the team intends to enter LM in 2006 in the P2 category, they could try a P1 adventure as well. |

BTW I don't like the company name Zulltec, it's confusing with Zytek. Last edited by FIRE; 12 Mar 2005 at 13:09. |

Yep, the name is confusing (and displeasant in french).
I don't think they've any experience at this level ; beginners are welcome, though, you've always to start one day. Don't expect miracles, but it's good to see more and more car builders involved... |

Radical LMP2
 Radical have announced a new LMP2 car that will be half the price of its major rivals. You'll be able to pick up one of these cars for less than a GT2 class car! DSC has lots of news on this new car. Personally I believe this could be the most signifcant announcement for prototype racing this side of Audi/Porsche building a prototype. Radical have been extremey successful in the last few years selling hundreds of smaller prototypes all over the world. A decent percentage of these competitors will more than likely step upto the LMP2 car, which could give international prototype racing as a massive boost. Last edited by JAG; 15 Mar 2005 at 17:02. |

I agree with you JAG, this is very good news indeed.
Their smaller prototype cars are wicked fast. I have witnessed a few at some local track days. They are very smartly designed cars. I wish them luck and success and hope this program comes to fruition soon. |

lol, you read my mind.
And your point on the potential customer base for these cars is key. They have a good following of owners with their smaller prototype cars. And I believe there are race series for these cars? (not sure on that) So we could definitely see some new competitors. Last edited by jhansen; 15 Mar 2005 at 17:16. |

yup been waiting for that to break. Got the full tech spec and heard from Radical Mick on the subject - this is really going to be great for P2 and also for British Motorsport. The car is going to be seriously quick...
..perhaps there is a future for prototypes at LM, but perhaps limitd to P2. |

I thought it was more like $300K plus. But I don't know. Where's Tim when you need him?

I doubt they will build a P1. but then I have doubts about P1 itself. P2 seems to be very much where its at
