The
Courage C65 LMP2 was one of the first cars designed to take the new
regulations
into consideration even well before they became implemented.
Introduced
in 2003 as a LMP675, Courage fully intended to transition this car
through
the LMP2 regulations that were introduced in 2004. The C65
ran as
a hybrid LMP2 in 2004 and 2005.
