cool, i didn't even know this car existed.

the ugliest of all Lemans race cars. it isnt sleek like the Audi R8, cadillac LMP or Bentley EXP8. then again, looks arent important for race cars.

I don't find anything wrong with it. Looks swoopy. Nice find.

Interesting, I only understand some words but it seem interesting. I like the rear engine-suspension photo, If the people is interested in technical drawings and pics (I'm very), we should make a thread for all the mechanic, aerodynamic..photos in the technical forum, I've got some road legan, F1 and Le mans photos. Just an idea

post the pic and ask question....thats what forum is for....

This is the same car as the later Doran/Oreca/Rollcenter racing Dallara. The difference being in the Chrysler trim it runs on their Sprint Car derived 6 liter OHV V8, vs the later cars being re-engined to run the Judd GV4/5 series V10. Really a throughly modern LMP car but its entire existence is overshadowed by Audi R8....It only raced as Chrysler in 2001 finishing 4th I believe at Le Mans. Then Chrysler stopped, the car was not used until first Doran Racing at the Grand American Series bought the car and campaigned in their 2002 season(with the Judd engine). Finished 1st overall in Daytona 24 hours in 2002. Then Oreca got their hands on the car with new aero updates, campaigned for a year then the car was sold to Martin Short and his Rollcentre racing...where I believe he still has the car(one re-engined to fit a NISMO V6 engine). He uses Radical SR9 now in the LMS series though, as the Dallara was not converted to the interim hybrid specification...
