If FIA GT doesn't get it's future sorted quick, to the satisfaction of manufacturer's and teams, it will not only have to deal with competition from the LMS/ALMS, but also a fast improving, European based, privateer friendly International GT Open.

"Fehan says the debut of the GT2 entry likely will come at Mid-Ohio. It will revolve around a next-generation Corvette C6.R that again will compete on cellulosic E85. The car will have steel brakes, a smaller wing and a little less horsepower than the current GT1 car. Other than that, Fehan said, it will look exactly the same as now."
Exactly? EXACTLY? No, no, no, not exactly. PLEASE, I mean, PLEASE, I really mean, PLEASE don't paint it yellow! Here's a thought, go all out as a USA team and paint it red, white and blue: |

If you think that Corvette Racing and money was the reason that Prodrive and AM got their butt kicked you are living in fantasy land. (Or on the AM Kool Aid.) The green fords arrived at every track looking for an excuse to lose, not planning to win. They were thinking about the next press release pleading for more help from the rule-makers before they even turned a wheel in Friday testing. Another point. You don't think that Flying Lizard was a "full factory" team in every way that counts? Development and drivers? Ridiculous. |

Team USA, with foreign drivers... Naa, I doubt it will work. Eventhough Panoz tried something like that.. Look cool though |
