Ginetta LMP1
I think with the new information available today about the pricing for the new Ginetta LMP1 car, it's safe to say this car isn't vaporware. So I thought a new thread for this car specifically would be a good idea. We could talk about this car and everything that goes with it here.
Official Name- TBD Pricing- £1.34 million ($1.67 million) for the rolling chassis and electronics, with the engine lease and full technical support an additional £594,000 ($744,282) per year sportscar365, dailysportscar Engine- 3.4-liter V6 turbo from Mecachrome sportscar365 Teams- TBD Official Images- 3D Printed model Youtube video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuh7oHNi4qo (Mods, if you could keep this title post alive as new information comes out, that would be greatly appreciated!)

I REALLY hope this car is a success. I don't mean sells well, I mean is actually a good car. The problems of the LMP3 cannot crop up again. It's hard being a Ginetta fan at times, but I hope they nail this one.
Oh, and buy Silverstone too please. That'd be awesome. |

An ready-to-race LMP1 for just shy of £2,000,000 in an age of 8-9 figure factory outfits is quite a stark contrast. I do hope this has been costed out conservatively so that Ginetta aren't reliant on a glut of orders to balance the books.
Bingo. Ginetta took a beating over the Juno that simply cannot be repeated. The fact they've committed to LMP1 privateer shows their passion (and why I also am pulling for them), now let's see it backed up with technical excellence. |

Silverstone sale was off the table a while back, after the BRDC decided to continue alone. Meanwhile, Ginetta bought their own test track.... http://www.blytonpark.co.uk/news-archive/ |

if memory helps, 2.4 $ mlns is more expensive than what rebellion used to spend for one of their lola-tmg (arx-03 was more expensive >3 $ mlns).
Honestly, I think that a private lmp1 package shouldn't cost more than 1-1.25 $ mlns to be sustanaible. Just today new and cheaper lmp2 specs shown to be 2 seconds faster than the old R-one already... |

Another way to look at it is the old LMP2 engines are cost capped at 86,778EUR and if you are doing LMP1 seriously you are probably using 10+ engines now that they have no engine usage regulations. (one for each race and another for Le Mans practice and qualifying) |

guess it means ginetta engineers and personnel who teach team guys how to set at best each car component and will take care the car outside races as oreca and onroak do with most of the team using thier cars.

That's a lot of cash for a car that looks to be about 18" long.

The latest report on DSC has Ginetta suggesting that 6 cars is the figure needed to make the project a (financial) success.

With all the interest they claimed, maybe it is a viable business for them. The biggest one being Manor, I hope they succeed.

The engine package deal is interesting, that's an awful lot of money for what's actually quite a standard engine package. Does it include the rebuild costs which would have to occur at least once during the season? Does it include a spare engine which will be a necessity? What about the gearbox & bellhousing? Still not enough info yet but that cost definitely caught my interest so I'm keen to know all the details which that cost accounts for.

All the race season rebuilds, testing mileage to a limit, a spare engine with the team (absolute essential one would think)? There was some mention that this engine will be exclusive to Ginetta? Wonderful idea for Ginetta, but not so wonderful for Meccachrome if they don't sell any cars. I can see that becoming non exclusive very quickly then |

Dallara claim there's no relation. We'll see though. As long as there's new competitive lmp1's, to me it doesn't matter. Lets just hope they go for a different color scheme than red white and black

question is: will ginetta or smp lmp1 be as fast as lmp2? (considering that in 2018 will improve at least 1 second at silverstone?) what's the deal then to pay 3x for a package that at worst must to run in 1.42 |
