Besides Courage, Lola, Radical, Pilbeam, Zulltec and WR another LMP2 manufacturer:

According www.endurance-info.com Japanese team T2M Motorsport will enter a Dome LMP2 car in LMS next season. The LMP2 is based on the tub of the "new" Dome S101.5.

See article: http://www.endurance-info.com/articl...rder=0&thold=0

Great news! Maybe this will give also JLMC a boost.

This is a fascinating project and a great addition to the prototype ranks in the Le Mans Series. Very exciting news!

Unlikely, as the team is based in Europe.

Dome are flat out working on the new tub apparently. Aerodynamically the Dome should be interesting - the S101 has always been quick down the straight.

White is actually Germany’s traditional racing colour.

Is the Dome S101.5 built in Japan? How about the old S101?

We have made greater-than-expected progress toward this target, with our first European model "DOME S101" enjoying excellent results at the Le Mans 24-hour race and the FIA Sports Car Championship (FIA-SCC).

What does DOME Cars Limited in Britain do?

Yep, the car is definitely Japanese. Most of the design, research, development and construction is done in Japan. The car is assembled in Europe at Racing for Holland's workshop and Dome engineers are based there (if needed) during the season.

Dome Cars Ltd in Britain? The article explains the reason for the company being set up, but whether it's still active, I doubt..........??

Third driver at Le Mans? It would be great to see Vanina back at T2M, but I have my doubts.

Is T2M based in Alès now?

Another change: the T2M Motorsport will move and put the course towards the South of France. The TEAM will settle in the Cevennes, inside the circuit of Alès.
