The
2002 Courage C60 Evo. is little more than an update of the previous C60
chassis. But that is over simplifying. While
beneath the skin
the C60 Evo is mechanically the same as last year's chassis, Andre de
Cortanze breathed a bit of fresh air on the chassis with new thinking
in
detail areas such as brake cooling and wing endplate interpretation.
