Surely they're not gonna reject them, you don't want your top class looking depleted (especially for the reasons of bureaucracy)

I don't think they'll reject them, but I do question if they'll actually turn up. And if they do turn up, will they race. And if they race, will it be good enough to beat the LMP2 class.

AER might be crap in reliability but I think it'll be good enough for beating the P2s somewhat comfortably in quali |

I'm also not sold on the AER reliability. Whilst the AER blocks do work in some series, they have never had good reliability in Endurance racing, no matter what the team. It burnt down a lot in the ByKolles before, and SMP lost a car at Le Mans with an engine failure - and they're running the 2.4L.

I hope they turn up and race. I also hope ByKolles is going with another engine choice than the AER which they have had BAD experience with.

I think you need look no further than the 'history' between Bill Gibson and Lawrence Tomlinson to conclude that a Ginetta Gibson is very unlikely to happen.

They've had fallings out with ORECA and Mecachrome now too.

Did Ginetta and Panoz Abruzzi have sex? And this is the result

Also "We've sold some already".
So a bit like the LMP1. Ginetta sales tactics appear to be pretending you have sales to make it seem popular. |

I can rattle off a few of many examples of things better to look at than this. I can also rattle off a few examples of things worse than this, too, believe it or not.

Back to P1, Goodwin expects to see (maybe) one car in the reserves and the second nowhere for LM
If they get entry they might enter Spa |

Mr Goodwin puts a lot of faith in this Ginetta P1. I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in our mind only. |
