No idea. It's a cool concept though and would be nice if RCR could make it actually work as a reliable and relatively affordable car. If anyone can do it, I would think it would be RCR.
RCR's Next car should be.....
- Thread starter Big-Foot
- Start date

Falling apart/trying to set fire to semi famous (in the UK at least) racing drivers:
Jason Plato Caparo T1 crash test fire - YouTube
Yeah that sort of thing....
Here you go
Caparo T1 car review - Top Gear - BBC - YouTube
Wasn't just the floor. Has anyone ever seen a test of the car where it didn't fall apart? I will say that in capable hands and when it's running it is capable of some insane track times.

The SL-C is already VERY close to the SL-C with the original race tail. All it needs is the correct paint scheme and most wouldn't know the difference.
I would sell the SL-C body in a heartbeat if Fran did the Furai skin over the SL-C chassis.
I know someone just visited Fran asking about doing a 4-rotor version of the SL-C
Dave...I wouldnt let you sell the body....as it may end up on some other steel tube frame chassis...heaven forbid....hehe.
No chance of doing the Furai although I do absolutely love the design

I'd rather let it sit in the garage and take up space than have it end up on that
Your buddy came by a couple of weeks ago and we discussed his rotary engine ideas.... pretty wild stuff.
He plans on a return trip and bringing more info with him...

What about a Lotus MK1 or something in that line of cars, I will find a good pic to use. I would love to see a RCR take on a Lotus 7 / Cataram also
Fran, are you still planning on developing the LMP1? I just went through some of the older posts in this thread and learned you were planning to do this.
I really like the concept: sounds like it could be an easy build due to no door or windshield fitment. There is also a supply of northstar engines out there, though modding them is going to be expensive... but there are people who specialize in hot rodding these engines. I dont know if that is your planned engine, but it would be authentic.
All in all, sounds like an awesome track car and show stopper. Cant wait to see what you come up with. :thumbsup:

Oh yes...just want to get the move out of the way and we will be working on it more aggressively....the D type comes first and the LMP1 is right behind...
The car will be a serious competitor to the SLC on track as its only ever going to be a track car...zero chance of a street version....but thats OK..

So I'm guessing the less track competitive cousin of the bunch, referred to as the GTA, goes after the LMP1...
Will be exciting to see the new RCR offerings coming out the pipe-line!
