Could someone explain to me the "phylogeny", for lack of a better word, of the lead Eurotech Porsche? All media outlets, including the esteemed DSC, refer to it as an RSR. Clearly, the body is that of an RS. Is it a hybrid a la BAM @ Sebring '04? I gather the Jones car was a new RSR, so did they take the shell of the JWR RS from 2004 and put it on the JWR RSR chassis from '04? And if so, why?

I thought it was the RSR that the team used for FIA/LMES events last year. That, or its an updated RS with RSR parts.

Of course, Porsche lightens the cars and increases power just about every year. The latter can be remedied by putting an RSR engine in an older car, as a lot of teams do. |

lol thanks for the varying replies - so basically it's just like a normal type of update but they've changed the name of the car so you know which one it is.... sorta thing...

As for the improvement between the two, think of it this way: Risi thought the 360 GTC was a big improvement over the semi-factory 360s that had been marketed the year before, but the GTC was weaker against the RSRs than the original 360 was against the final, 2003 RSs.
