rfh? not sure but I don't think so, Hiroshi who's the tech director of Dome is there with the car and I think its owned by Dome.
However its a hugely advanced machine, just look at the suspension used in 2005 |

Well, did Dome and/or RtF make new bodywork for better cooling?
“Soon we will have some updates for the bodywork to get the cooling completely sorted for Le Mans. We are very busy preparing for the test on June 3 and of course the big weekend itself on June 16 and 17. Of course we will keep you posted with the latest news”, ends Lammers. http://www.janlammers.com/engels/Xml...tem.xsl&id=450 RtF testing at Spa late last month http://translate.google.com/translat...e.php?sid=3653 |

problem solved?
The Mader engine is in fact Mécachrome 3.4l based on engine GP2, but made reliable for the endurance, brooded by Christian Contzen, in the past at Renault Sport. http://translate.google.com/translat...e.php?sid=3720 |

Yes this seems to be true but budget dependant. The S101.5 is a real bargain bin car right now

So, Dome actually owns the RfH chassis? Does RfH pay anything to Dome, or are they meant to fund running the car? Or, am I not understanding?

I've realised just how much S101 & S101.5 stuff I had kicking about so I've put it all in a free download which I'll upload later this week. I suspect theres quite a bit of stuff not seen elsewhere

I thought it was a modded LMP1 car .....thats why its overweight . Which strikes me as stupid ..... like the first customer Courage C65 that went to the ALMS and Miracle , and B-K , overweight too and not very successful .

All this will be no problem in 2008 when the minimum weight for LMP2 gets raised from 775 to 825 kg

I really hope part of the extra 50 kg will be used to increase reliablity.

Why does T2M call itself Japanese when they are now located at the Alès race track in southern France?
