LMDh's 40HP RWD hybrid? Weak sauce.
Cost is math. Our LMH is 2mme for a 5 year car. Our running costs will be low. Our spare cost will be low. LMDh per year estimate15mm$ estimate? I don't hear a single.
2 million Euros, is quite alot more than an LMP2 purchase, and I imagine the cost of the new 2023 LMP2, will not be significantly more than present.

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?
