The main part of the redesign was completed by KW Motorsport who updated the chassis to incorporate the increased fuel capacity and driver protection.
Driven by Judd the car proved to be significantly faster and ultimately finished 17th overall and 7th in its class. It was the only car built to LMP1 specifications and took on old LMP 675 and 900 cars in its class.[1]
