It even says that anyone with an old LMP2 should stick it in a museum and buy a G57. But anyone with an old LMP2 is either wanting a Le Mans car, or is running in AsLMS. The G57-P2 can't do either. It's probably a great track car, and obviously VdeV legal, but it doesn't fill the same niche as the old LMP2s.

But it also doesn't talk about why the G57 just ceases to exist. It isn't even referenced on the website. Ok they had falling outs with ORECA and what not, but it was an important car, despite the build quality and support issues.

I really love Ginetta because it feels like an old fashioned, blokes in a garage, taking on the big boys. It's great. But I don't understand what they're doing with the "G57-Not-a-P2" and the "G57-Doesn't-exist-P3"

I understand that they point to all non-ACO prototype series with more open rules, which may be they competing with the old P2 or at the P3 level.
