LeMans (?) Fibre Glass model

[chromapilot]

hi there
i have what looks like a development model for a Le Mans (-type) race car, late 80s//early 90s, however haven't been able to trace it to anything.
the previous owner didn't know anything either...
just wanted to see, if the shape rang any bells with anyone here

thanks !!

nope never seen it before but I would fill in the gap in front of the rear wheels ... what is that 'valley' about ???

How big is it? Give some scale. Looks like some kind of RC car body.....

i know, that 'valley' is weird... it's too big to be RC, it's 115x50cm...

who knows, might be an amateur or school effort as well...

Art school project?

Could be that the model is incomplete and the 'valley' is part of a duct for the radiators?

If not, they'd have had serious overheating problems, as there appears to be no other provision for cooling.

At 115x50 it could be a go kart or tot-rod body?

The Matra MS630 had that valley shaped side profile, maybe it was a mock-up for its replacement ?
