Greg Murphy was working with one of the LMP2 teams at Le Mans as well I believe. Algarve Pro maybe?

Jean-Marc turns up at the races to support his son Jules. I saw him earlier this year at Monza for the Blancpain event. Doubtless he will be in Spa for the 24.

Can't really answer the first two but Barbosa normally now drives the #5 Action Express Cadillac DPI in the IMSA WeatherTech series. I say normally, because he'll be missing the next two races at Watkins Glen and Mosport because he broke his hand in a bicycling accident.

Chris Niarchos retired from driving but ran the competition arm of McLaren GT from inception with Andrew Kirkaldy till last year. My learned friends are now sorting out the legal niceties after McLaren Automotive assumed control. At least that is how I understand the situation............no one is saying much............

Sam Li is still active behind the scenes in Asian motorsport and I understand is big pals with André Lotterer.

Any chance of sharing this footage one way or another? I'm always on the hunt for mid-2000's FIA GT!

I’d love to see this too if you would be so kind to share it especially if it’s English commentary

His home country of Venezuela, which was funding his efforts, is in complete turmoil and economic disaster. If he's lucky, he still has a comfortable house away from the worst of it.

FWIW, at Spa during the 24hours, the truck/trailer from McLaren GT had a logo containing this text:

So, CRS = Kirkaldy & Goodwin

Then what is Garage 59?
That seems to be Tim Mullen's team.
Is it linked to CRS in any way? Or was it just a considence that Chris Goodwin drove for it a couple of times and that Mullen used to drive for CRS when they were still fielding Ferrari's?

on Endurance-Info there was a small article speculating they (Garage 59) might switch to Aston Martin: http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/gar...artin-en-2019/

I think you will find that Garage 59 is owned/funded by Chris Niarchos and run by Tim. Given the result of the recent court case it is very likely that they will not running McLarens in 2019 and Aston Martin could prove an interesting prospect.

The Maserati MC12 that raced in the 2005 ALMS seaon (or most of it):
http://www.racingsportscars.com/chas...000015440.html

Feels like this model had a long FIA GT1 life in the late 2000s, but this chassis didn't do anything after October 2005.
