I have not talked to Harry about it but it is my understanding that the car
was built to demonstrate that a rear engine modified roadster could be as
stable as any other car. Harry just wanted to build a rear engine modified
and did not want to build a lakester.
I don't know what is the intention of the other two cars built as such. It
appears that they want to be allowed back into M/R or to have their own
class. RF
