Then again, I don't speak Czech so didn't understand a word of what was said in the article.

Of course the Czech's read it here on ten-tenths, then they posted it on their website, then tenths read it........

OK, and now help me to win that contest. Where Tomas Enge and Jarek Janis are going to race (main season program) ? I'm leaning toward TE doing Grand-AM for SAMAX. Do you think Scuderia Ecosse is realistic for Janis ?

OMG, please ignore everything on that page apart this short part of text: Lola B08/60 Coupe Aston Martin V12. There is really nothing more than that.

There is nothing in the current DSC article to suggest there is a link at all between what is rumoured here, and any announcements.

Almost positive that's more to do with RML doing up the old EX675's? Not too sure why it was happening but Mike Newton is involved as he owns two if not three of them!

So Lola might be involved with Aston. Or anyone else with a V12!

Are we now certain Barwell are running the GT2s? I've had my wrists slapped more than once for assuming!
It's not speculation, Lola have had a manufactuer deal since before Christmas.

Before someone mentioned a V12 Lola, I would have assumed it was an Asian manufactuer.

I was told that there was 100% an asian manufacturer coming to LMP1 this year - the person who told me that is super reliable (and was running a car at Le Mans) but I kind of expected to know about it by now. So maybe it died. But then some interesting people turned up somewhere I was recently.

I'm thinking either TATA, shanghai automotive, nanjing, SSang-yong or Hyundai......hmmmm.....I have my money on either TATA or Hyundai.......both are humungous companies and the cost of a full LMP1 project would be peanuts to them, but would offer a big reward in marketing exposure, brand awareness and improving their image.

Pirelli is not out of the Fia GT1. PK-Carsport will run their (ex-Zakspeed) Saleen S7-R with Pirelli tyres.
And BMS will decide if they continue the DBR9 programm this month, but I also heard that they might will run the DBR9s on Michelins.
Also Scuderia Playteam maybee coms with 2 MC12s with Pirellis.

If I was to speculate wildy I would say there appears to be a link between Lola, MG, RML and MG's new Chinese (Asian) owners and this could all add up to an announcement of an Asian manufacturer, a well known team owner and a new lola LMP1

BOOM, right all along! (on DSC)

Charouz to run a Lola B08/60-Aston Martin with Enge, Charouz, and Mucke. DBR9 GT1 V12 engine, Lola chassis constructed with help from Aston Martin Racing, and full support of AMR.

Full LMS season & Le Mans.

That's fabulous news! I don't think they'll be anywhere near the diesels, but it's a start, and it's more manufacturer names and support in LMP1.

Now this makes me wonder if Prodrive will still run a GT1 team just at Le Mans or what?
