The final LMH rules dictate what you have to build if you want to win...

Air is still air and follows the same rules as LMP1s, and the design by the regs isn't crazy different like requiring a barn door as the front window or double cockpit designs. There's a reason why design gets closer and closer to one solution with small variations in many things.

I like what you have done there. Colour scheme is nice too.

That rendering looks hot; Toyota GT-1 vibes

Looks the business, let’s hope it’s as fast as it looks

Our final wind tunnel test went well.
We're locked and very happy with where we ended up.

Hello, have a technical question, hope you could tell something without going in details

if I remember well, ACO said that LMhypercars would be "aero balanced" with drag, downforce and other aero values enclosed in a certain range to prevent expensive aero development. Are there any updates about that? otherwise how can manufacturers know if their hypercar developes more downforce or drag than expected?

The rules are very clear. Once done you have to confirm in an FIA chosen wind tunnel with your finished car to receive homologation.

It is hard to judge the scale in that picture, but it looks like I would have a tough time squeezing in that tub!

How many chassis are in production currently? Are you just trying to get the first one out the door and testing while the other one is in production? or are you going to have multiple cars testing at once?

The LMH cockpits are very similar in size to LMP1 cockpits. I (6') can fit but a real passenger wouldn't. The road version would have to be different. We are building two cars and will have both ready to race at Sebring in 2021.

That paint job looks really bad, i hope you smarten it up before it goes racing

Well i am still hoping to see it for real in June, if the authorities allow me

Fingers crossed for both you as a manufacturer and us as spectators
