Not sure how your running costs can be comparably less than any other constructor? Maybe you can explain?
I also am nor sure where the $15 mil budget estimate came from for LMDh? They are virtually same spec as current DPi, so in essence are DPi Gen 2.0. $15 mil is not the normal running budget for a single car IMSA team in DPi currently. The WEC will likely be less race meetings for 2021, owing to the economic sever downturn, so again, I do not see those budget figures?

Our Pipo engine which was designed to produce 870HP for 30 hours before the third rule change will now at 670HP likely go 60 or more hours before a rebuild is needed.
Our car was designed to use uprights that for example can be used R/L. Same for many parts reducing number of spares needed and reducing running costs.
LMP2's are priced low but their spare costs are a lot higher than ours will be.
Our LMH tub is a full F1 type CF cell and will survive a very big crash.
40 RWD hybrid HP is silly, expensive and weighs and costs more more than 40 ICE HP.
I could go on.
LMDh $15 figure is from IMSA.
We will design, engineer, build and race a 2 car team for much less than that.
Our LMH will be a 5 year car without further development costs.
