On the other hand, (and slightly back on topic for this thread ), with the ZEOD-RC, they've now got Bowlby on board, which suggests they might be looking at an 'in-house' LMP1 chassis- although I still wouldn't be that surprised to see Onroak brought in as a contractor to at least build the tubs (who's doing the ZEOD- Is it an 'in-house NISMO build, RML, or have they farmed the job out elsewhere?) etc, and maybe put in some operational support like the Toyota/Oreca deal.

The ZEOD chassis is being build by ADDESS.
