Well done! Some corrections (which I would corraborate with BillB):

The breaking system isn't your standard with opposing calipers fed by twin circuits. There are twin circuits, but each feeds all four wheels. The brakes have built in redundancy. Each caliper has two independent sets of pistons. There are two flexible brake hoses to each caliper. I'm not familiar with any other car that did it this way.

I believe 15 competition cars were built, not 19.

Redline is 7700 RPM, not 7500.

Three different 0-60 times are used. You might want to standardize on one to avoid confusion.

It's a good read, very informative, and great pictures. Thanks!
