    Morand is an ex WEC LMP1 / LMP2 Team with some colorful history and is aiming to produce a LM Hypercar under the new Regulations of the ACO. As Part of the Rules, a road legal derivate needs to hit the road. ambitious project... and extremely expensive as Aston and McLaren both declined to build such a car.

    regarding your question about seriousity, well I'm sure you do your due diligence before placing a down payment ;)

    It's Swiss so the quality will be second to none but will it ever come out? I would love to and, to see it destroy any other road car on a track ;)

    it is one thing to build up a race car, make it fast and reliable and make the whole thing profitable. thats already a huge challenge many have failed. Unless you have such deep pockets and its more like a hobby.... to build a prototype racecar based on a street version who needs to follow certain laws is almost impossible. Look at Aston, look at Mercedes P ONE... to mach road and race car was easier in the 60' but in 2020? at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if its a swiss team (as chassis for sure will be build somewhere else) and the team does (IF) just the assembling. its ONLY, and ONLY a matter of your financial potential. no matter if the team/project is based in switzerland or Mongolia...

    I agree, but there is already an independent:



    And it seems like Morand already hired Eric Bollier and Ricardo Penteado from Renault F1.

    Very nice. Are they happy with people walking in off the street?
    I was a regular visitor when the Foitek family was running the place. Not been in since the 2 changes of ownership.

    Quick question :) With Symbol Auto in Matran changing, and me needing a belt change on my 360 this winter, what garage/dealer in Geneva or Lausanne region would you recommend that I get in touch with? Even better if they're willing to keep the car for a few months over winter (freeing up one of my underground parking spots) like Symbol did.

    [QUOTE = "Shinigami, post: 147345303, membre: 22432"] Question rapide :)Avec le changement de Symbol Auto à Matran, et moi ayant besoin d'un changement de courroie sur ma 360 cet hiver, quel garage / concessionnaire à Genève ou dans la région de Lausanne recommanderiez-vous que je entrer en contact avec? Encore mieux s'ils sont prêts à garder la voiture pendant quelques mois en hiver (libérant une de mes places de parking souterrain) comme l'a fait Symbol. [/ QUOTE]

    They have been working for Symbol for several months.

    They're rather expensive, but the quality is very good! Would also recommend them!
