The smaller 2009 LMP wings do not look good and don’t help to reduce costs.

Did Vincent Bichon design the aero? He worked with Courage-Oreca last year.

A great idea: design, develop, and race an all-new LMP1 machine for two (big) races after pulling out of LMS and ALMS while also having to build a smaller LMP1 engine for 2011.

Will Audi pull out before 2011 to let Porsche move to LMP1? Porsche owns VW which owns Audi.

The front reminds me of Welter Racing’s 2004-2005 LMP2 machine. The front aero seems to make for the air to blow though rather than blow over like the R8 and R10.

Does the R15 have a torsion bar suspension like the R10?

Christijan Albers, who raced an R10 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in 2008, might race the Kolles R10.

Fascinating and ground breaking car, but wish Le Mans would go back to GT Production cars so we could see how the likes of Lotus, TVR, the Audi TT, Boxster etc would do in more realistic duels.

To me it looks more le mans design (low drag) focussed than all previous R racers.
