Default Tokaï University car

The Tokaï University Courage-YGK LC70 was unveiled in Japan on the 24th of this month. Also the driver line-up was released at the time, to include Toshio Suzuki, Masami Kageyama and Hiroki Kurosawa. Pics of the car in livery and article.

Not a very inspiring livery. Does anyone have any idea what number chassis they're running?

Have you posted your data somewhere. I think it would be an interesting chart to read.

No, none of the stuff is up yet. I don't really have time to make a website right now. Hopefully I can get to it sometime though.

I'm wondering if this might be one of the older cars, like one of the ex-factory cars, or the Ex-Swiss Spirit car. If it's new it'd have to be at least #11. Also, I'm wondering what number the de Ferran Acura will be. 11 or 12 I'd assume...

The Acura ARX-01b chassis with all of the new work done to it has been homologated as an Acura (required testing), so no Courage id is on it I believe. The tubs are now just a component part of the Acura as everything else is now Acura and has been tested and approved for homologation as such.

Well I believe the tubs still leave Courage with a Courage chassis number on them, likely replaced by an Acura one once work is complete, but I'd still just like to keep track of the Courage end of things.

It may have a Courage part# on it, but it is not a chassis# as they are not selling a homologated vehicle as per the rules. It cannot be homologated as 2 vehicles.
