I can't see how people could be anti-Kolles, at least he hasn't ruined the Vanwall legacy

Well we had plenty of good reasons to think we will never see them out, but they've finally done it. Now let's see them on the grid

In theory yes but right side (as much as we see of it) looks looks like new Kolles indeed Doesn't mean I expect the car to make it to the grid

Lots of details in there from the team which has traditionally been tight lipped.

The car has been through FIA crash testing and is currently exploring the cars performance on track. The holding company has changed names and they are still working through copyright issues. I'm actually getting more hopeful we will see them on track next season.

Still a lot of legal work to be resolved:

Quote:
‘Vanwall’

  • Car: Name not yet revealed
  • Ruleset: LMH
  • Engine: Gibson 4.5 litre normally aspirated V8 (No hybrid)

  • 2023 Confirmed Plans: Unclear, team suggest they wish to race full-season in FIA WEC, but effort still mired in legal complications surrounding ownership of ‘Vanwall’ trademark. Ongoing process with the EU Intellectual Property Office. Entry unlikely to be accepted until and unless the matter is concluded.

Call me an idiot, its ok, ill do it myself but if Kolles cant use Vanwall why dont they go to a smaller volume manufacturer like Spyker or Radical or something and offer them the naming rights for some £££? Can this not be done now?

If you replace 'some' with 'a lot' than the answer is probably yes but you have to wonder A) whether Kolles is willing to throw substantial additional money at it, and B) if the ACO would let a potential entrant alter the designated manufacturer once the homologation process has started in earnest.

I do not see why Kolles should buy the naming rights from a small manufacture.
They could simply make an agreement to "hired" by the small manufacture to deliver and run the car from them.
Would potentially be a good advertisement chance for that manufacture (unless the car is a dog of course)

It is best not to try to understand the motivations of Colin Kolles. That way madness lies.

Can’t they just let the thing race without having to buy the naming rights to Raleigh bicycles or whatever? It’s a car built to the rules and it works. Just let it race!!

I would be curious to know if the OEMs have an opinion on this. It's more valuable to Peugeot to beat Ferrari or Porsche than it is to beat ByKolles, who nobody has heard of.
