Hi Phil, yes, chassis 001 is already with its new owner in South Africa awaiting delivery of the engine and bodywork  :)

Thanks for the link too, not really a surprise to me seeing as it was me who sent all the press releases out  ;D

Hopeful of an entry to Le Mans next year (very fitting as my 50th birthday is during race week) but it depends on getting the car out testing and racing asap. Fingers crossed...  ;)

Nice work Rick. Car looks very good - certainly advanced for an LMP2 entry. What engine is under that rear cover?
