 As
the WR LMP2 is a hybrid (a modified LMP675), under the regulations it does
not have to meet the same roll over protection that a proper LMP1/2 chassis
would. Instead, hybrids are only mandated to have the secondary roll
over protection for the passenger (the hump) and not the primary roll over
protection (the roll over bar proper) in order to give a semblance of the
same aerodynamic effect (of running twin roll over hoops). This will
change for 2006 when all cars will have to meet the exact same aerodynamic
and roll over specification. |
The
WR LMP2's tub design goes back to at least the LM2001.
The
engine exhaust is vented out the top of the side pod and is aimed at the
rear wing.
