PALMER JAGUAR JP-LM
Our stunning new racing car for PalmerSport 2011 is
the Palmer Jaguar JP-LM, bringing the sensation of
Le Mans to the finger tips of all our PalmerSport guests.
The JP-LM is as focussed as any machine can be and
provides the most sublime driving experience – with an
instructor right alongside to help you extract every last bit
of performance from you and the machine.
Our previous Palmer Jaguar JP1 proved one of the most
popular cars of PalmerSport and the JP-LM takes the
concept of a two seater mid engined sports prototype
to a new level. It’s faster in a straight line, thanks to
squeezing more power out of the Jaguar Cosworth
3 litre quad cam V6 engine, and has revised gear ratios to
really make the engine sing. It truly is the sound of music.
As any F1 follower knows, aerodynamics are crucial –
you want more downforce to press those big tyres into
the asphalt and less drag to reduce wind resistance
and let the machine slice through the air more easily.
The fabulously evocative new body shape not only
looks good but does the aerodynamic business.
With suspension changes also incorporated, the
JP-LM has more grip on the corners yet lighter
steering to help you exploit it, plus bigger brake
ducts to help the car cool - when you’re getting hot!
You might not be running for 24 hours, but with all
this extra power, grip and more effective braking,
it’s still important to make life as comfortable
as possible for our drivers, which is why we’ve
completely redesigned the cockpit to provide more
room for taller and wider guests, as well as moving
the steering wheel further away, along with new
instruments, an improved seat design, new mirrors,
better visibility… the list is endless.
If you have ever been to a PalmerSport day before,
you’ll have some idea of what the JP-LM is capable
of. It’s the next best thing to jumping into a LMP
prototype and heading off around the famous Sarthe
circuit at Le Mans.
