Can anyone really drive a Le Mans racer?
LMP3 is the newest rung on the Le Mans ladder and is designed to give amateur drivers prototype experience on the road to the 24 Hours. But is the car right for that task?
The entire concept of LMP3 revolves around one simple basic principle - accessibility.
This new wave of 'baby' Le Mans racers has been designed to be the first step on the ladder towards top-flight sportscar racing, and the holy grail that is the 24 Hours itself.
The cars are built largely around their intended amateur drivers, which usually bolster their teams both in terms of driver gradings for the intended Pro-Am nature of the racing, and financially.
