5 P3 CARS, A VERY ATTRACTIVE OPTION The P3 Prototypes became very popular in a remarkably short time. Ligier has already orders for more than 75 cars and they have already delivered a lot of cars to their customers. The four other manufacturers, like Ginetta and Norma, are also very busy with these very nice race cars. With these cars you can join the real endurance races, but because of the low running costs they are also extremely suitable for one hour racing. GT & Prototype Challenge - EN 5 / 16
