Is this a new addition to the list, or one of the existing TBA rumors?
Darren Manning Racing perhaps?

Super exciting times for PWC!

It's a new addition..the team wants to remain nameless for now, but I'm going to try to see if they'll change their minds before the next post.

I went to the track yesterday to check out the new Turner BMW and Dragonspeed Mercedes testing along with some others. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming season. Too bad PWC doesn't race at Sebring anymore.

I just noticed the one of the K-Pax McLarens appears in this Project CARS trailer (at 0:35 and again at 1:05):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r96zBKiAdk

Hardly important or anything, but there are very few cars in the game that feature real liveries or even have real-world companies on them, so it's interesting to see the K-Pax car there. Wonder if we will see any other PWC cars/liveries or if it's just a special thing with K-Pax?

It's a thing with McLaren in general in that game; McLaren's licensing folk don't like fake liveries it seems, so won't even allow them to give out the template for custom additions, but there will be 20-odd real liveries. There are a few other real liveries scattered around, especially N24/VLN ones for Aston and BMW.

Great testing video by the way: thanks for sharing.

iRacing has plenty of fake liveries on it's McLaren GT3 car. We even have a template.

When we got the Williams FW31, there was an agreement that they wouldn't allow custom schemes or release a template. On the day of release, iRacing accidentally released the template. Whoops!

Forza Motorsport 4 has the original factory car from the 2012 Spa 24hrs which can be reprinted. Many thanks to the person who spent hours recreating Von Ryan Racings dragon livery, awesome.

Interesting.
I'm not a huge fan of spec racing, however I think this will perhaps be a good addition to the stand-alone PWC weekends. They should make for some stunning photos.

I'm skeptical URC will get off the ground, but if I does, I'll watch. I'm curious where the customers will come from...

Yeah, it's a bit worrying, that it could potentially rob entries from the PWC classes.

Doubt it... I haven't heard of anyone wanting to actually drive/race cars like that. Maybe it'll bring out some of the guys into vintage racing but I don't think it'll have any impact on current PWC entries.

Your right, really a different type of racer targeted.
I wonder how well these cars drive. That's a lot of horsepower.

I would guess that they didn't mention Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge because Pirelli is pretty heavily invested in World Challenge, and they probably wouldn't like a rival tire company getting a mention.

They split some time ago which has led to the rumor of Flying Lizard operating the K Pax cars in PWC. Nothing has come of it yet, though.

They are already racing two TLX next year.
