All about the RCR LMP1...

[Fran Hall RCR]

John.

the LMP1 is only available to support an LS engine....there will be no factory supported provision for anything other than that..

The tail section has been tweeked to clear the LS engine/intake but its still very tightly wrapped so anything other would require the new owner to chop up his nice new gelcoat LMP1 body..

Nelson's new Coyote TT would have really made that fly . In fun, but have you watched that video.....talk about developement.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

A couple of pictures just to whet anyones appetite thats LMP1 infatuated..I know I am.

The cockpit and roll structure is designed to accomodate at least 6'2" tall (taller also possible) plus a helmet, of course and meets race regs. for safety.

That thing is bad@$$.

 

[Ken Roberts]

I think I just wet my pants!

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Wait until you see it at ride height...this beast is low , wide and has a look of purposeful menace to it.....I absolutely love this thing...

A 12 year old LMP1 car that you can build and race with out millions of dollars worth of budget and spares....bring it on...

 

[Ricardo Montalvo]

Someone will buy one and drive it on the street at some point.

Just Say No to Drugs.

Once again Fran proves to be the pusher man. Your Mom used to warn you about guys like him, only difference? Fran is pushing car junkie drugs. Back to therapy I go.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

NO MSO from the factory will slow that process down, but thats upto them I guess....where there is a will there is a way...

This is a race car only from my perspective..

I know I have seen Indycars made road legal and thats cool but this thing is very wide and very low with terrible ramp angle clearance....

LOL...Rob

I am only giving you guys what you know you want but have always been too afraid to ask for....

 

[Michael Fling]

Fran,

Couple simple questions?

1. Other than engine/transaxle, what else is needed to complete the build?

2. Are there any LS engines that don't fit (LS7? LS9?)?

3. I'm assuming dry-sump recommended but not required?

4. What options are available?

 

[Justin]

Holy crap!!!! I love it!!!

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

1. Other than engine/transaxle, what else is needed to complete the build?..tyres, seatbelts, fuel pumps, plumbing.. ECU/ wiring..

2. Are there any LS engines that don't fit (LS7? LS9?)?...no supercharged units will fit....

3. I'm assuming dry-sump recommended but not required?...correct

4. What options are available?..dash/datalogging, wheels , brakes ,aero options

 

[Steve]

Thx Fran. Looking forward to seeing some of these builds.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

You need one in your garage and you can see it whenever you like.....:thumbsup:

Dont expect racers to do build logs...as these cars will not be long lead builds...they will need to be on track asap.

 

[Ben Whittle]

Nice!

Is it just me that always checks the background of Fran's pics in case he's intentionally (or unintentionally) leaking other products in the background?

 

[Tom]

Not just you, I was looking for some Apex updates. . .

 

[brad]

sorry if this is repetitive, but what is the est. weight of a finished car?

Amazing car Fran! I think i want ever car you produce, and you keep coming out with more! lol

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

2000lbs is the target weight
