In the debut season the Lucchini was very promising, unfortunaly it lacked reliability (gearbox).

They showed what they can do with the Saleen and with a bit more luck they could have grabbed one or two more podiums. LMP2 is a bit different though but if the car lasts they can do well (e.g. look at Horag this season), the new Judd will hopefully help them but I don't expect any Barazi-like performance.

Wasn't it Racing Box that spent about 23 hours changing the motor in their diesel 3-series at the Britcar24?

They deserve our support for their sheer indefatigability !

Oreca ran the Saleen for them. Get your facts straight before flinging crap around.

Look at the driver lineup. Ortelli/Ayari vs. Cioci/Perazzini/Tavano. Wonder why the Oreca car might be faster over a race distance? Interestingly the Racing Box car was only about 6/10ths of a second off the Oreca example at Silverstone in qualifying. Ultimate pace is not dissimilar.

Horag for an RS Spyder fits with the comments Robert made about it being an existing team that picked up the 2nd chassis.

Wonder if the CET chassis will be sold/repo'd back across the pond? Or will there actually be a buyer here?

I think that it will stay here in North America, there are probably plenty of teams that would like to buy it.

I thought that the Spyders were commisioned by PMNA. (?) And therefore property of such. (?)
