Nasamax??
What is NASAMAX? Is this a rename of an existing car? What is a NASAMAX Judd?

Oh, I did a search, its just a Reynard?
Is this the eco team that ran at Sebring before, on envirnmentally friendly fuels? Last edited by IanGrohse; 26 Mar 2004 at 18:20. |

Yep thats them, they also ran at LM last year, and wasnt that uncompetitve. one of the main problems the team had though was getting the fuel to last a stint as long as the other LMP 900 cars - so this year the Nasamax team will run with a 130 litre tank and the other LMP 1 cars 90 litres. Hopefully the team will be more competitve this year.

No, the Reynard is a fairly good chasis. I remember back in 2000 the cars were setting 3:43 lap times, now for a LMP 675 class machine thats pretty fast, unless of course ur comparing it to the MG Lola's, but I mean come on, theres more chasis worse than the Reynard in the 675 class than there is that were better.

Nasamax and also Fred Goddard evidently don't seem to think so!

Because those changes were going to be quite extensive, it was noted that the car would actually be re-badged as a "Nasamax"... At least that is the way I understood it.... One other note: They aren't running the Cosworth (ex-CART) turbo...apparently, it will be a bio-ethanol-fueled Judd.... |

Size matters
Quote:
 According to the `entry list', it will be a 4.9L, same size as the new Caterpillar backed Diesel powered entry.

so the CAT engine will be a Judd power, with diesel. (nasmax has already said that they will run a Bio-Judd engine)

The Caterpillar engine is not Judd based and it's not the Ricardo engine.

However, the plumbing and bodywork was no good for the Cossie CART engine, and they had significant heat problems last year. Nasamax have done some substantial modifications, meaning that the chassis is no longer really a Reynard. |

That's why it is now listed as a "Nasamax" on the entry list....
We all knew that changes to the 2004 specs on an existing chassis would be extensive....this gave them an opportunity to give a new life to a chassis that had been originated by a builder that is now out of business.... Since they used the engineers who were involved in the project when they worked for Reynard, it should meet with the necessary ACO homologation requirements, and would give Nasamax an opportunity to create molds and maybe even sell a few cars if their 2004 specs chassis proves to be a good one... |

Are there any details available of the chassis changes?
And - slightly off-topic - has Pescarolo done the same to its Courage, which now appears as a 'Pescarolo-Judd'? |

We have discussed the Pescarolo changes at length in the past....
Theirs were made by de Constanze, who was not involved with any of the Courage development.... However, being a designer with an outstanding track record, I would imagine that his changes to the Courage chassis were submitted to the ACO and an arrangement was made to homologate them in some way, shape or form, to comply with ACO rules concerning how changes must be made to an original chassis and the criteria for getting those changes approved for competition.... |

Yes, but in the past the car has run as a 'Courage C60 Evo'; it now seems to be running as a 'Pescarolo'.

I understand that...
From what I have understood, there were additional changes being made to that car for 2004 by de Constanze.... If the changes, when coupled with last year's revisions, are extensive enough as a whole that makes the car more "Pescarolo" than "Courage," than I guess that it would warrant the name change...as well as new homologation papers to register it with the ACO.... I'm sure that Nasamax has been required to do the same thing... |

1L ethanol = +-5000Kcal
