CHRYSLER LMP

Den nye Chrysler Mophar V8 er nu bygget færdig og præsenteret. Der er som vi allerede ved skrevet kontrakt med Dalmas, men de sandsynlige holdkammerater til ham bliver Beretta & Wendlinger.

Chrysler Mophar stillede op for første gang på Le Mans i 2000, og de kom igennem med en racer, hvilket er meget flot for en helt ny racer. Det er Dallara der bygger chassiset, og det forventes at den nye racer ruller sin første meter i Januar 2001.
