Racing is usually secretive to the point of paranoia. Nicolas Perrinn wants to see this change by building the first crowdsourced LMP1 car and entering it in the 24 Hours of Le Mans next year—and winning in the next five. Called myP1, the car will be a hybrid LMP1 car designed under the current ACO regulations and will go up against factory teams from Audi, Toyota, and Porsche.

Perrinn is the brains behind myTeam and has previously worked as a designer and race engineer at Williams F1, Courage, and Pescarolo. He and his team have been designing the car for the last three years, and now they want your help to bring it to life. Just about anyone with a computer will have access to everything from financial budgets to CAD files.

Regardless of how much experience they have, participants will help improve the car (the design is already done), choose the driver lineup, and even pick what the drivers wear. You can download a spreadsheet from the myTeam website that lists many of the parts currently in development, along with links to download CAD files. myTeam will even provide the data needed to 3D-print a model of the car or to build a digital version for PC racing simulators.

It's all free, too. myTeam is careful to point out that the project is crowdsourced and not crowdfunded, though the team hopes to pull in a few sponsors and investors with its unique approach. The team estimates about £8.5 million (a little over $14 million) is needed to cover expenses leading up to next year's entry.
