I wonder if this mid course switch is a result of reduction in development funding for completely new chassis (96x) because of the VW emission issue.  Appears they will be leveraging  components of Cayman configuration for the next generation RSR.

Struck me as sort of an inexpensive short-term solution as well.


At first I also thought that might be the reason, but it looks like development work on the car has been going on for six months, so way before the diesel scandal.

A number of people I have spoken  with Smiley  confirmed a mid-engine car. Also, I thought the change in course may be a result of the performance of the new Ford GT and Ferrari's switch to the turbo. Understand the Ford GT is a monster.  Will be interesting to see when the car breaks cover next spring. Perhaps we will be looking at the basis for the next GT3.
