Courage C60

Courage C60 er bestem ikke nogen ny racer. Sidste år stille Pescarolo op i en Courage C52 som fulgte meget godt med Audi'erne og han tror selvfølgeligt på at hans nye C60 kan blive lige så eller mere konkurrencedygtig i det kommende Le mans race.

once again Courage debuts an elegant design. This is a clean sheet of paper creation, not being based on the Courage C41-C50-C51-C52 family. Courage's goal is obviously Le Mans, and it's clear when looking at the architecture of the chassis: low wing, short splitter, ACO single roll hoop, minimal frontal area.
