I honestly don't understand what cars like this are for. They're not road legal, so it's not "race car for the road" stuff. They're immensely expensive, so it's not "race car performance at road car prices" either. Why wouldn't you just buy a GT2 or GT3-class race car? If I was in this market, I'd be asking Porsche if I could pretty please have a GT3R. For the price of a BT62, you could get a proper, well-developed and race-winning car, plus a spares package, plus the cost of a season's fully-supported racing.
I'd be on the phone with Oreca for an LMP2, i believe they are cost capped near ~450K, so roughly GT3 money as well, and insanely quick

What an engine, what a noise! normally aspirated race tuned V8. How refreshing in these times of turbos and EV. Car looks good too. Does it for me much more than any recent McLaren

That looks and sounds fantastic.
Shame it was so wet on track, would have been good to see what it was capable of on a dry track.
