ProTran RS06/H LMP1 2006

[Cowboy]

​

News comes of a new LMP1 based upon the Reynard 2KQchassis. Designed by Kieron Salter's KW Motorsport group and bearing much more than merely a passing resemblance to the Nasamax DM139 (also a LMP1 Reynard 2KQ conversion and also designed by KW Motorsport), the car is called a ProTran RS06/H and will be run by the UK-based ProTran team. Kieron Salter, "The car is very similar to Nasamax in that it was the same type of chassis with a 2004 aero rework. Some details in that combination will always give the same answers." The RS06/H derives from Reynard 2KQ chassis 009 which started life in 2000 as a 2KQ LMP675 and was raced by ROC quite successfully at Le Mans 2001 and 2002 (winning LMP675 in 2001 with its sister car, chassis 008, winning 2002 and 2003 in the hands of Noel Del Bello). Paul Cope of ProTran Racing, "Other than the carbon tub (and even that has had safety and styling features bonded on) virtually ever other component has been redesigned or changed. The RS06/H is a very different car and is wholly entitled to a new name", and hence the Reynard chassis is homologated as a ProTran RS06/H and in fact uses molds exclusive to their effort (not utilizing anything from the Nasamax project)."
