Basically a Porsche GT1 in a Lola body, it weighs about 300 pounds less than the GT1 coupe. So its potential can be imagined. Unfortunately the race officials can also imagine the potential, and penalized the car. But Champion has been persistent and persuasive, eventually getting a relaxation of the turbo restrictors, beginning with the 2001 season. As a result, the car showed great promise at the Rolex 24, running as high as 3rd overall before an engine problem intervened.
