As mentioned above, he has most recently been racing with sister Sarah in the VLN series.

For 2016 Nigel will be racing in the Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup and the Britcar Endurance Championship.
No word on Sarah Moore's 2016 plans though.

The livery on that one in the pic above is a bit of a hack-job, though. That green is the corporate color of Jever, a German beer brand. So the proper paint job would be this one: Link.

What's the story behind Mike Rockenfeller not racing at Le Mans anymore. Realize that he had the big accident at Le Mans a couple of years ago and races in DTM now. But why not at the greatest race on the planet? Believe he raced at Daytona 24 this year?

For 2013 he wanted to focus on DTM and that worked out quite well, to say the least, winning the DTM title that year.

Slightly odd to have a beer brand just above Saudi Arabian Airlines, but there you go.

Is it that he wanted to focus on the DTM?
I'm sure I remember reading that Audi wanted to keep its DTM and sportscar drivers separate?

I can't imagine anyone (especially a winner) turning down Le Mans in favour of the DTM.

In Germany the DTM title means a lot more than the LM-win. That's not saying too much, but I can see why he'd do it. Especially since LM is about the car and DTM about the drivers.

Well it's in line with what I know about certain members of the KSA establishment! But that's another thread for another forum...

This is a bit of a wide open goal, question wise...

I know a lot of GT cars end up in people's collections (see Florent Moulin's impressive haul of SEVEN Viper GTS-R GT1 cars), while others become track day toys. I would personally expect a lot more slightly older GT cars in Supercar Challenge, Britcar and so on. So has anyone seen some of the 90's/00's GT machines that no longer race at test days and so on?

A few specific GT cars I'm interested in tracing:

Gillet Vertigo - Did it become the VDS 001?
Xero Competition Corvette C5 - Do we know what happened to the Ex-Embassy car and the yellow one?
Porsche 996 GT3 RSRs - I haven't seen one on an entry list in a long time; are they all in collections?
Lister Storm - Who owns these wonderful beasts now?
TVR Cerebra Speed 12 - I remember it from British GT!
Prodrive Ferrari 550s - I haven't seen them out anywhere for many years - have they all been confined to static display in museums?

I could go on for days here but I'll stop... If you have any knowledge to bestow upon me I'd be most grateful!

Prodrive 550s are very thing on the ground. I've seen most other cars of the GTS GT1 class in private hands out and about at track days etc but not them. Nor do they appear for sale.

According to DSC there's about a dozen that exist. I assume the Le Mans winning car is still at Prodrive but haven't seen any others in public eye.

Even the 575s, the Italtechnica and Weith 550s can be seen at hill climbs but the Prodrive cars seem to be locked away.

One of the former Flying Lizard 996s raced (still in Lizard livery) in VLN at the Nurburgring as recently as 2014.
I remember seeing it for sale on one of the racing classifieds sites more recently, though.

Huh, I just assumed The Badger and arakis finally stopped beating around the bush and got a room. No need for anyone to pry...

I think NightStalk3r still hangs around on the OCUK forums - that's how I know of him (although I don't know him), because I've not seen him post on 10ths as long as I've been here. But I've not been there since 2014 so that could be well out of date. However I do know he was close to Sean Edwards and his family so I wouldn't be surprised if his time was taken up with helping out the Sean Edwards Foundation.

Those Porsche vs Ferrari arguments were fun, back when there still was something to argue about regarding the model supremacy

NightStalk3r seems to have logged in last November so I guess he still occassionally checks in? Even though his last post dates to Daytona 2015.

FCP used to have some good sarcastic humor, and tales from the tropics, wonder what's he's up to after disappearing few years ago.

I talk to Badger on Facebook and he's pretty busy with life, he does post here from time to time though. I miss the golden days of WW3 that was the Ferrari v Porsche thread, it was great to have a thread filled with such passion and now people just argue about BOP- but people move on and Badger seems to be a happy man these days so good for him

Arakis and NightStalk3r-no idea

FCP banned, for what?

Arakis was pretty fed up with the way BoP implementation bol progressed in LMGTE/2 so maybe he gave up for good (and didn't "move over" to LMP as I did). Anyhow looks as if he logged in for LM last year

No idea about why FCP was banned, I'm quite sure he was just never asked why. Shame, I enjoyed his posts.

My bad then. I was sure was but perhaps I mistook him for someone else. Hopefully he returns.

Paul Cope, ProTran and the lovely Venturi 400 GTR.

All three seemed to vanish mid-season in 2011 - Does anyone know what happened? That season Paul was racing the Venturi in GT Cup and GT Trophy. I saw the car out with Paul in a GT Trophy race in August, and I don't recall seeing it on any results on since...
