Lister
What's become of Lister? I haven't heard anything since the ill-fated Storm LMP.

Last I heard they were working towards a GT car but that seems to have gone by the wayside too. I miss Lister in GT racing.

Where would a Lister GT even race these days? With homologation rules being what they are they would be effectively barred from entering either GTE or GT3. So there only option would be some lower level oddball series.

A little while after the story of the Pescarolo chassis purchase I remember reading an article saying the company had closed down for good. Shame, in reminiscing about the better days in FIA GT I do miss cars like the Storm.

Thats really sad, I thought the company may still exist in some way without the racing. |

IIRC Lawrence Pearce is still involved in motor racing (Historic Group C/Nathan Kinch), the former Lister premises are the home of Rebellion Racing
