This isn’t a Courage LC75 based car like the ARX-01 variants, this is an all-new chassis from Wirth Research, like the ARX-02a was. This new ARX-03a just has very, very similar bodywork to the Courage-based -01e.
Comment from a newspage. I thought Wirth Research did aero and not chassies?

It also seems HPD never closed down the shop as it´s been reported several times before..

I believe the whole bodywork, including Tub is done in house by wirth Research, was the case too with the arx01-a whic h had an slightly altered tub.

The arx-03a is an beauty that must have been said

Ok so what is exactly HPD apart from the engine?

As for looks.. well i think the front end looks absolutely horrendous with those fish-eyes. I liked the more aggressive look of the Highcroft ARX-01c in Tequila Patron livery :)

I believe HPd has the final say in it, but thats all.

The c was looking brutal though, also a really nice car, but this one looks so clean
