Looks like the cost reduction plan is working.

It was sold to PSI Experience and they race it in the Le Mans Series and French GT.

They finished 4th in GT1 in the 1,000 km of Donington last weekend.

They also finished 2nd in the FIA GT race last weekend at the Paul Ricard Circuit in France.

Did they rebody it because that's not a C5-R.

I heard about this group joining Champ Car next year when I was watching the DP race last night. I'm glad to see more cars in the field. It should be fun next year. They just have to keep Road America on the schedule, especially after losing Montreal.

I should have said their C6-R finished 4th in GT1 at Donington.

They didn't have their C5-R there.

Their C5-R races in the French GT series.

It finished 11th overall in the 24 Hours of Spa this year.
