Default Hubbell Racing announces a new addition to stable

My team just took possession of Corvette Daytona Prototype # 004.
It is a Dallara chassis previously campaigned by Taylor Racing in IMSA w Konica livery.

Of course this mean we'll need more Bubbles

You should hire Ricky or Jordan to come down to Miami and help you set it up and put down some data laps for you! Though I'm sure Curran can do the job just fine.

Do you think it will drive much differently from your other one? Are they similar under the body, or are they different? What does this one have for an engine?

001 is a Coyote chassis w right hand drive & C6 body.

004 is a Dallara chassis w left hand drive & C7 body.

I believe they use same engine

004 has more downforce than 001, maybe a few seconds faster depending on track.
