Building an LMP car.
 

The CLPmotorsports team is in the process of building our new RCR SLC LMP1 race car for the 25 hour race and for NASA Super Unlimited class.

Hats off as always to Fran for bringing these cars to the market and for making them attainable for non corporate teams. These are bound to be a game changer in the racing community.

We have a long way to go, but we hope you will tag along for the ride.

Here's how she arrived.

Here is the PPG/MTI sequential trans and some fancy RCR billet pieces.

The front suspension is easy on the eyes as well.

Here's the shifter for the sequential.

Here's the headers we started building. They originally started off as a set of LG Motorsports 1 7/8" Super Pro long tubes.

Thanks Luke and Pat!

Awesome! I'm a big fan of RCR.

Welcome to LatG ... :cheers:

That looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely interested in seeing more. I've wanted a SLC from them for a long time, this looks like even more fun. Sequential gearboxes are the coolest thing ever!

Welcome! What does that cost as it arrived to you?

Welcome to lat-g. :thumbsup:

Membership is free other than we require at least one quality pic posted per day and of course free rides in that fastcart.


:thankyou:

T.C. For information only, I'm not an expert on this yet:

I'm not sure what the LMP version costs, but here's the SLC pricing page -

There are upgrade options, Motor and transaxle costs, that Tranny is ~ $25K IIRC. Then you build it from there.

Still less than a Riley :D

Did it ship complete?

That is sweet.

and welcome to the site!!!

It ships out complete less motor and trans. There is some assembly required beyond dropping in the motor and trans but its an amazing product for the price point. It uses corvette running gear (motor/transaxle). We put the sequential in it which is expensive but the regular t56 or tr6060 corvette transaxle works great as well.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Just pm me if you want.

Glad to hear you got all the bits and pieces. I know there was some disappointment in that regard from QRP and Davidson with their SLC deliveries.

Not familiar with that trans. We run a Mendeola in the GTM. It's been flawless, might be overkill though with a car as light as yours. What's it weigh?
