    Le Mans Prototypes with roof top?

    Hello,

    do you know LMP-racers with roof tops like Bentley Speed 8 and Toyota GT-One. These are the only two I know.

    (High res) pics are desired.

    TIA

    The Audi R8C and the upcoming Riley LMP are the only other prototype cars I can think of. These of course being only genuine prototype cars.

    Throughout the 1980s all prototype racers were equipped with a roof:

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I loved LMPs with roofs, they looked a lot better back then. I hope they can make LMPs like the 787B and the Sauber in the future.

    There is also the Nissan R390 GT1. that had the roof on it as well.
    But then B4 that you are really goin back to GT1 racing times with the Mercedes CLK-GTR/CLR, Porsche GT1, etc.

    Strictly speaking those were GT cars though.
