Once
again Courage debuts an elegant design. This is a clean sheet
of
paper creation, not being based on the Courage C41-C50-C51-C52
family.
Courage's goal is obviously Le Mans, and it's clear when looking at the
architecture of the chassis: low wing, short splitter, ACO
single
roll hoop, minimal frontal area.
