essex racing showed their RS Spyder LMP2 for '08... really promising driver-car combination!

looks like next year it will be quite a "Danish assault" on LMS!

Great to have a Lambo in LMS.

And (not a surprise) Bleekemolen a strong candidate for the Van Merksteijn Spyder.

Dissapointing livery. I expected a red/white livery.

So only two drivers (John Nielsen and Casper Elgaard)? No gentleman driver?

Ok, looks like we can stamp this one as OFFICIAL!

It's a partnership between Sebah and Speedy (Team Speedy-Sebah Racing). No official confirmation yet that it will be Mazda/AER powered, however.

Article on Endurance-Info.com is here.

Fantastic news, a very exciting project, and it's particularly good to see Sebah back!

I'm struggling to get my head around just how many new cars will hit the track in the LMP classes in Europe next year, it's just astounding!

I like the livery. There is already more than one red and white car in the LMS grid.

It is almost a mix of the Lowes Acura and the old Creation liveries.

But they'll be at FIA GT Silverstone, or I'll hunt them down. And kill them all.

I'll put this in here. I have just had a very interesting e-mail about a new sportscar project for 2008, all I know is this Coupe, Lola, V12 and Endurance racing.

From that I can work out that's its the new Lola P1 Coupe and no idea what the engine is or where it is going to race.

Anyone got any idea's?
