Oh I know that, just saying that this car was the one which triggered the weight increase in P2 as soon as 2001 thanks to its incredible speed.
No doubt it was really more advanced than many of LMP900 of the time, except from the Audi R8 (and the Bentley Speed 8) of course. Even if the AER was not so reliable (and never was until... recently !) and the chassis lacked developpment, it was an excellent car that could have gunned for the win while being a little LMP675. Not what the ACO wanted, unfortunately. Light was beautiful, and still is. Shame to see top class prototypes weighing more than 1 ton as of today...
