However, without a driver's window, giving a point by will be difficult......
2000 lbs, 825 HP, and gobs of downforce. What is this “point-by” you speak of?

Zero chance of a clean lap unless you rent a track for yourself for a day. Which is something you can afford if you can buy the car.

And without a doubt, it will require substantial support, both between events and at every event that it's fired up.

I have been around and participated in running Group C WEC cars, historic F1 cars manufactured up to twelve years ago, LMP675 and LMP900 cars and that is NOT for the faint of heart, or wallet.

The idea of a track day car capable of obtaining and setting laps as quick or quicker than pole time at current LeMans on the big circuit is incredible.

Amazing...

Yea, I am curious to see what this thing actually costs. Considering the price of some of the Hypercar track day variants it has the potential to bring some serious bang for your buck.

I'm with VR on the estimate, and I'll bump him a couple hundred thou... No cost cap for this like the P2 car.

It's not going to be the purchase price, it's going to be the support, prep, repair...

It looks cool as hell though.

Totally agree on all points. And I guess if I had the money I’d rather have something like that than a $$$$ street car that you really couldn’t drive with any enthusiasm on the street or the track.
