Ginetta announces orders for first three LMP1 cars

UK based chassis manufacturer, Ginetta Cars, has today announced that it has taken formal orders and deposits for the first three sales of its new for 2018 LMP1 endurance racing car.

The cars have been purchased by an as yet un-named customer team, which proposes to enter a two-car squad (subject to acceptance) in the 2018/19 FIA WEC season.  The third car is intended as a spare.

Ginetta has previously announced a planned 10-car production, and the first chassis is already in production with testing expected to get underway in November. Six chassis remain available for sale with Ginetta targeting sales to two other two-car efforts and with several interested parties in advanced discussions.
