I had a good look round it today also, the inside is very much typical of todays GT racer & at a bargin price of 300,000 euro +vat :( and at least 500,000 plus to run for a season!!!
They have saved some money on the build cost like Twingo I exterior door realese and Megane II interior handles so we can afford at least some bits.

You do have to wonder.... The Megane was far cheaper to buy and to run and yet, in the final seasons struggled for entries. Have heard no news as yet of any teams signing up for this series yet either. Lets hope they are just going to make a big announcement/ launch at some point and keeping them under wraps for now. Good to see though they still struggle to get the exhaust to line up with the holes in the bodywork.....
never thought I would want a list but now find myself needing one just to remind me: Clio V6 230, 5 gt turbo, 5 Gordini turbo, Megane RS 300 Trophy.

I think part of the reason ( besides bugets constrants from drivers) entries were low in 2014 was that this project was hinted at late in 2013 so some teams may have reduce appearances to recharge finances.
Once the first season is over a better idea of costs may appear.
