Having just read through the press release, and IMO we have learnt nothing new. It will be interesting to see what Ratel had to say for himself.

ES Motorsports have confermed they will run 2 575s or Murcielagos in 2004 LMES.

There self developed Zonda will race in 2005.

RML will run 1 Saleen in LMES.

Its a UK based company that (amongst other things) imports the Zonda into the UK - They have been evaluating the car for a motorsports programme with some heavyweight talent attached to their plans

If they're the company that imports the Zonda into the UK, why don't they enter a Pagani Zonda? Have they afraid of Hezemans family work?

My mistake.

RML will run an MG Lola.

GNM will run a Saleen.

Having said that I could see RML running 1 or 2 Saleens, at least in the Silverstone round of the LMES.

Regarding the MG-Lola has anyone confirmation that the car is indeed updatable to new Lola LMP1/2 spec car.

Also who besides RML will run an MG in the LMES?

Still no more press releases from the ACO. When are we going to hear what Ratel has to say?

Could be that he doesn't have much to say. (Then again, this has never stopped him from saying it anyway.)

Just reading through this weeks Autosport magazine and happened to notice that on page 16 in the sportscar section theres a small news piece regarding GNM, the article states that the team is close to finalising plans to run a solo Saleen S7R in the LMES, and could also run a solo entry in the FIA GT championship too. This is good news, both for the LMES and FIA GT championships, up until now though I thought that GNM was going to run 2 cars in the LMES and 0 in the FIA GT championship, seems as though Mr Nash has changed his mind, that means 4, possibly 5 Saleen's for the FIA GT series, and 2 possibly 3 for the LMES, great news!

Will GNM keep the all-Portuguese line up?

I doubt that because I think some of the drivers will go to the Spanish GT championship, but it would be good to have some national pilots to cheer for.

The Mello-Breyners are indeed Portuguese, but when I was talking about the all-Portuguese line up for a GNM car I was referring to the Amorim, Ramos and Chaves team. Any info on this one?

Cadete, If you want an answer just take a look here: www.sportmotores.com

Graham Nash told me that at this point he will not confirm who is driving, this will be in around 2 more weeks.

Fab, Mello Breyner are trying to return to Spanish GT series. They could be back to Le Mans too

Thanks for that site, SFonseca, didn't know there was a site dedicated to Portuguese racing news. I was wondering where I could follow the Portuguese championships and you gave me the answer
