No way!! 

That looks way too complete!!

It looks to me like Gulf sponsored 24h racer. Very good C-model...but it laso is a proof that 42039 B-model (with V6) is doable

I haven't thought of doing B-model, but why not to try it?

I was just looking for inspiration for some other C-model - thoughts about some supercar Porsche or Lambo

Great job. I love any well made open top LMP car. Well done.

[Meatman]

Pretty cool.

Really good C model

[Vectormatic]

I like that a LOT! If i hadnt already canibalized my 42077 for parts, id build this version, looks better then the A and B models

[Seasider]

looks great, my only comment is that the driver should be sat off to 1 side. as far as I'm aware LMP class was still built around technically being able to have 2 people in the car, although sometimes the passenger seat isnt in the vehicle

technically you are correct, but i decided make seat for the driver in the middle as in F1 cars

I had not enough bricks to do some seat/steering wheel/driver headrest shift to one side.

This one is the coolest so far...wonder how would it look with Tumbler tires.

Unfortunatelly I don't have them, but as quckly chceked in LDD, its same height, but are much wider.

I would assume, that it will have issues with front panels when full steered to side.

I tried unimog and tractor tires (see gallery), but it is too big for this buggy (wait for trophy truck, which is designed to be built with tractor tires as default :)
