I read it as two different stories.

Also, when has Ford run an Lmp?

It's nothing more than a speculation, but the term "LMP racing" is not limited to LMP classes only, but rather to LM-style racing in general, i.e. it includes GT.

No, when it's LMP racing, it's Le Mans Prototypes, so either a LMP1 or LMP2 entry. Otherwise it would just be a LM or Sportscar return.

It is a pretty vague statement, could be a team, or a chassis manufacturer, or driver, or team manager, or tire, or sponsor....

It could easily be the Riley Ford.

Hmm, are we thinking that Riley would join forces with Ford to create a LMP car?

Man, I don't think it would work since they're happy running at Grand-Am at the moment.

Prior to Libra's outing at LS with the Roush-Yates engine? Paul Belmondo Racing, 2006 - if memory serves.

Unsure as to whether that had ever been considered a Ford powerplant, though. Was the Cosworth based on a Ford powerplant?

PBR's C65s ran with Ford backing in some capacity, though. Didn't they?

Well, the Ford engine is out there already..

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...st-v-6-to-alms

The Riley LMP2 was originally thought to be using this Ford engine.

The number of LMP2 options, with a roof is pretty small at the moment.... I mean what are we looking at, Bailey and this Lotus project... The Bailey hasn't run in a race yet, and a Lotus...

Anyway, Riley has a proven track record, even though the car hasn't been built or run yet, so anybody looking at a coupe, should be giving this some consideration.

riley is involved with grand-am and will run the official team of new viper, doubt that they want to enter in the lmp2 market.
About bailey, i think that we will see that car only if ran by bailey it self and the 2013 lotus lmp2 can seriously be a vaporware.

Not Riley - And not Ford

Its a chassis/ engine combo neither of which is currently racing anywhere in LMP2

Awaiting final confirmation on timing

Not a blockbuster announcement but a very welcome one indeed!

I'm assuming that HPD-Mazda combo is not really possible, isn't?
