The GreenGT H2 has finally turned a wheel on an undisclosed (small) circuit in Switzerland and at Magny Cours according to Auto Hebdo.

It's very strange we get complete dead silence for months and then this. Do they not want sponsors? The race is two months away...

Another article via autosport.com this time. Autosport claim that the "reason for the delay is believed to be centred on the need to overcome the power surge from the fuel cell on start-up".

There is also a rumour according to which the FIA-ACO had concerns with the construction or integration of the hydrogen tanks, but it's hard to tell if there is any truth to this.

I note that Autosport indicate that Welter Racing are involved in the construction of the car. Interesting.

EDIT: just realized that Welter Racing's involvment had already been communicated in June last year.

Perhaps this effort is funded by some sort of alternative energy grant money and no sponsors are needed. I don't know but you ask a good question.

Was wondering this too. Would be very interested to hear what it sounds like. Le Mans will probably be the first and last time anyone will witness this machine.

Maybe we could get 6 Astons if the Green GT doesn't show!

Makes you wonder how they ever planned to race in 2012, the date of their original entry.

Seems you really need a manufacturer or some serious backing to make G56 work. Nissan keeping the concept afloat at the moment. It's never going to be a class where you'll get reserves due to the work involved, working to a deadline and the lack of opportunities to run the car.

In my opinion this is to bad for the ACO, they should have, and in the future they must have, an alternative car for the 56th garage. The next year car is from Nissan right? There won´t be a problem then. As far for 2015 there were rumors that Peugeot will bring a car... let´hope they bring a "56th" car in 2015 and a proper LMP 1 in 2016 when they have more profit in road cars...

You can't really have a reserve entry for Garage 56. All the cars entered are going to be incredibly complex pieces of kits which are right on the boundaries of their development curve to get ready in just on year for Le Mans anyway....who is going to do the necessary development work on a whim that someone else would drop out?

Very sad about this, although unsurprised. Somehow a few laps for the weird and wonderful Green GT does more for me than the prospect of a full race from a decent Porsche GT.

I like the concept of Garage 56 and having somewhere for the innovative to come and have a go has real appeal.

I'm a little surprised that Nissan, having invested so much in it last year and obviously with their commitment for next year, didn't somehow in the background give tacit support ensure the Green GT at least showed up to do a few laps - which would have reinforced the principle behind Garage 56 and built things towards next year.

Instead of 1 entry they should come and bring 2 entry´s

I'd be asking around for 2015 right now if I was the ACO.

They should just accept one of the conventional entries in its place.

Fortunately they have.

I'm sad to see Green GT go, I was very interested to see it run. Hopefully their bullish sounding quotes about running in the future will see the project continue, maybe a 2015 G56 entry instead.

Having said that, I don't like the idea of it being shoehorned into the WEC...
