G55's are fitted with a newly developed engine and improved aero so will be interesting to see how they get on.
Jim Geddie originally said he and Tate would be back in 2012, however this is now looking less likely.

MTECH may have a 3rd Ferrari.

Richard Westbrook won't be with Ashburn this year?

You forgot: Predator CCTV Racing - Ferrari F430 Scuderia - Burtin/Wilcox (damn, my first edit )

Also have RPM (Ford GT) and Speedworks (Corvette) on my shortlist, but since no official announcement I would put them in as maybe...

Yeah, I'd certainly expect Speedworks to be out otherwise it was a rather expensive investment. I have a feeling RPM sold their GT (might be wrong on that one though).

Also, good news if MTECH get a third car out

I put this question to Speedworks in a cheeky Facebook comment about a week ago and, perhaps unsurprisingly, received no reply, but it did make me wonder if they would continue - not sure the Corvette was very competitive in BGT last year?

WFR announce the drivers for their 2 cars:
- Ginetta G55 GT3
- Ginetta G50 GT4

http://teamwfr.co.uk/index.php?secti...e=news&item=59

No lineups but Jody Firth and Warren Hughes, plus Jody Fannin and Riki Christodoulou.

I'm guessing we'll see Jody and Warren in the GT3.

That is a great lineup at United Autosport.

I did see the RPM Ford for sale in Autosport about 6 weeks ago, I would think it has been sold but I hope it hasn't, maybe if they still have it they could enter some Britcar races?

Speedworks should do that witht their Corvette instead of British GT, they stand a good chance of winning considering a Viper GT3 won last season.

Looking at EI this morning, I think that the car has been sold to a Portuguese team, unless RPM used to have another chassis too.

Yup, it was sold to the Rodrive team of Rui Lapa, that drove a Ginetta G50 in Spanish GTs last year and will move up to GT3 in 2012 in International GT Open and Spanish GT with the Brazilian GT champion for the past 2 years (with a Ford GT), Matheus Stumpf.

They are also planning to do the Spa 24 Hours with another Brazilian driver.

There is apparently a Nissan on the way- JMH Automotive will run one for Benji Hetherington/TBA according to this week's Autosport

Trackspeed 1-2 in today's test.

Geddie's McLaren was also there- they completed a few laps before a fire in the car, not sure what caused it.

Edit: see above

Is the Geddie's McLaren the Apex car on the screens? Either way, would be great to have them in a few rounds of the season, even if GT Cup's their main thing, what with it being a British car and all!

Did we find out about any other potential new entries at all today? Time to start putting together the 'provisional' list soon...
