Acura to race in LMP2

It was previously rumored last year that Honda would enter the LMP2 class.

This "new" LMP2 car will have chassis from Lola (B05/40) and Courage (LC75).

What a beautiful car. I wish that Acura could keep the sponsors logos off of it.

Courage LC75

"Courage Competition has unveiled early renderings of their brand new LC75 LMP2 chassis for 2006. The LC75 is the French constructor's first purpose built LMP2 machine, and it is designed to fit completely into the 2006 ACO LMP2 regulations. There has been no official word on what teams will purchase the car, but there has been interest from current Courage customers campaigning the C65 model in 2005. Stay tuned for information on this car in the coming weeks."
