Courage LC70 AER 2007

[RACECAR]

Before the Oreca 03 and its P1 sibling the Oreca 01, before the successful ARX family, there was this car that started it all: The Courage LC70. It, along with the P2 bound LC75 were the last two Prototypes made before Yves Courage sold off his business to Oreca. When designing a car for the newer regulations at the time, it was then that they realized they could develop one car for two classes without having to do many changes. This particular car had its Mugen V8 replaced with a much more reliable twin Turbo Charged AER V8, producing 600 Horsepower. This car would add the Courage name to GT as well as one of the final designs by one of the French stalwarts of Sportscar racing.

...Looks pretty good. Was there any visual differences between the Mugen powered one and this?

Oh, and how successful was it?

Apart from the teams that ran these and their liveries, not much. Basically, their engines are the biggest difference with the AER being much more reliable and finishing more races then the Mugen powered car.
