Wasn't this in the draft of another car?

It's hardly their fault. The money situation was completely out their control. Without that, they would have run Spa, done a lot of testing and probably been solid in LMP1

RLM are discussing the Ginetta downforce kits. I have to say, I disagree with them. I think Ginetta are putting on a brave face and saying "it's basically a low downforce kit". Well, no, it's a high downforce kit with the dive planes not fitted. It's not THE low downforce kit.

If it is the low downforce kit then it's pretty much identical, and that's disappointing. Ginetta started development first and they're currently behind the others in every area.

Was it my imagination or was it phrased as a low downforce "type" kit?

Which sounds basically as you described.

You did not imagine it. They're skirting around the question with this vague answer. Which obviously means the low downforce kit isn't ready (otherwise they'd just say "Yes. This is the kit"), and they're trying to make it sound better than it is without having to tell some untruths.

Perhaps with some more practice and finetuning they can get a 3:20. Let's hope.

Aston Martin dipped into the 3:53s.
Which ironically confirms BMW have yet to set a representative lap. And Corvette either.

Think the Eurosport commentators need to check their facts... Project 1 isn't Jörg Bergmeister's own team.

Carlton Kirby doesn’t deal in facts. He makes it up as he goes along.
