ger80 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
and where will the Squadron be located?
Not sure if this is a good move, think being build in NL was one of the special things of a Spyker ...
By the way - 17 miles for me

To copy & paste from the press release...

Engineering, Corporate staff functions, Sales, After-Sales, Marketing and Spyker Squadron”, the company’s Works' GT race team, will remain in Zeewolde.

Good news indeed, I think it would be a bit weird having the Spyker Squadron (I love that name) based in England and not in Holland...

Of all things: Spyker is bidding for the takeover of Saab!

Will this mean more sporty instead of boring cars from the Saab factories?

Interesting mixture,that's for sure...

To quote the press release...

Quote:
In response to market enquiries, Spyker Cars confirms that it, together with its shareholder Convers Group, has expressed an interest in Saab Automobile AB. If and when we are able to comment further, we will do so but we are unable to provide more information at this time.

If they did, it would mean an end to rebadged Vauxhall/Opel chassis!
Saab's might actually be that bit different again.

All they need then is to resurrect DAF cars. Proper belt drive ones.

Is there any news about Spyker Squadron's 2010 program?

No, not yet. Not really surprising considering the time Mr Muller spent on the successful Saab take-over.

As soon as there is new you'll find it online.

Is it at least certain they'll be around or is that also to be confirmed? They'll have to replace Bleekemolen at least.

Jeroen Bleekemolen only drove for them at Le Mans. Coronel and Janis were the drivers in the LMS.

What are the chances that the Squadron will do the Spa 24hrs?

Whoever runs their facebook page (he claimed to be from Spyker NA), told me they'd be doing LMS and Le Mans again, but things can change.

The Squadron is on the entrylist for LMS (1 car) and the first announced driver is Tom Coronel

The car is a C8 Laviolette GT2R. So I guess it will be atleast another year before we see the C8 Aileron GT2R (or GT1R).

Indeed a sad thing for the Aileron is such a looker. I hope Saab will not sap all the energy out of Spykers sportscar project.

But they haven't build enough Ailerons to race with it yet. So next year we will see the Aileron on the circuit (I hope). Because they will also need money to develop the new car.

Was not the guaranteed loan that Spyker got to make the purchase much, much, larger than the cash outlay to buy it. Therefore they got a pretty big purse to pull funds from?

They can't use any of the "Saab-money" for Spyker. The EU and Swedish government are watching them...
