The 'customer assistance' trucks in the paddocks make it abundantly clear how much factory interest there is.

Jorrit i was only really asking about the Aston team because AM haven't had such a heavyweight involvement at this level for a few years. It's all been about GT2 (sorry, GTE!)

Well, could be I suppose? It would be nice to see the marque contending again, never really been a frontrunner at GT3 level.

If it had to be one or the other. I'd rather see the Lexus. I expect Emil Frey to have more reliability with new car.

Now we just need somebody to run the Acura NSX in Blancpain now.

I think the Cat's were fortunate to get the dispensation for this long, lovely as it was to see a privateer get stuck in.

The privately funded F-Type project must be well in development now though so assuming that sees the light of day ahead of next season the XKR's would have had to go soon anyway?

No Silvers allowed in Pro-Am... That's why there's the Silver Cup.

First brand to have announced more than two cars in Pro by the way! Superb variety

Um....

Marc VDS were 'watched' heavily by the factory when the Z3 was at its peak.

ROAL?! I very much doubt they do not get any help from BMW!

Marco Seefried - Albert Costa - Christian Klien and Markus Palttala - Stéphane Ortelli and Norbert Siedler. Unclear to me whether they'll race in both championships.

The Jag still races with Adrian Zaugg, Mikael Grenier and Alex Fontana but only in Misano, Monza, Silverstone and Paul Ricard.
