MG's at Le mans this year
I've been out of the Le Mans loop for a few months so have lost touch with what's happening. Am I right in thinking there's only one factory car this year? Also I've heard there's an Italian team that have an MG? Is it the same design? Someone told me it was in the LMP900 class? If so, are there any pics available on the net? Cheers in advance.....

There are no factory MGs this year Im afraid Dave and the Dyson car was withdrawn too - The only MG Lola is the Intersport car from the ALMS.
What has probably caused the confusion is that the Judd engines in some of the LMP900s are now also badged as MG X Power so we have 2 Dome MGs, a Durango MG, and a Courage MG!! |

I have also have it on very good sourse, that the works program was meant to be a three year project, but sadly the pulled after only 2.
Hopefully the Intersport car will out up a show, as well as the 900 cars. |

The team contract for the factory MGs was only ever a two year deal. Everybody hoped that MG would carry on though

Banana Joe's team is going and the LMP 900 MG team of the Theys and Lienhard Jr. are in it. Dyson's team had to get the MG LMP 675 car to get some durability issues out of the way and they have a reason to withdraw.

It's rather sad that there are no Dallaras in the race this year. They are promising chassis and i just wish that Doran and/or ORECA could have generated the funds to - in Doran's case - purchase the available upgrades and enter the race or - in ORECA's case - just get the money to compete. I'd like to say that i hope to see them next year, but with the new rules package i'm just not sure...
