DPR to develop MG racer
Top British sportscar team David Price Racing is working on MG's next Le Mans 24 Hours contender
DPR, whose credits include running the factory Panoz squad in 1997, is evaluating last year's X80 supercar concept for an attack on the GT class at Le Mans and the N-GT division in the FIA GT Championship.
Price's operation is already building the first prototypes of the road-going X80, and could have a race car up and running as early as November.
"The idea is to give a club racer the chance to move up to the international level arena with a car that is cheap to buy and run," said Peter Stevens, MG-Rover director of product and design. "From the initial evaluation, the car appears to have a promising future."
To get in the mood for this year's Le Mans 24 Hours, which takes takes over June 15-16, get this week's AUTOSPORT magazine, which contain a free 18-page full colour preview. Packed with features and profiles, it's the essential guide to the big race.
