At least it was good to see RLR and their very quick driver pairing of Rob Wheldon and Alex Kapadia giving Ligier/Onroak victory in the final race of the Michelin Le Mans Cup Championship . Fingers crossed Adess and Ginetta can step up to the plate as well next year .
Regarding new manufacturers coming into the WEC , ELMS or MLMC how many are waiting in the wings ? In the UK I can think of Radical with their dominating one make series , MCR and Gunn in Sports 2000 although neither have built a new chassis for many years . In Clubmans racing GEM made a few chassis a few years back , although most drivers seem to rely on cars decades old and as Helgi says Spire and Mittell and a few others in the 750 Motor Clubs RGB series although LMP3 is a very long way from RGB .
What is needed is a series to encourage manufacturers like Spire and Mittell to climb the racing staircase to International racing but sadly at the moment there seems to be little appetite or prospect of the governing body doing anything like that .
