In that smoke grey it definitely looks more old school GT1 than GT2/E!

I don't know it reminds me more of the Matech Ford GT3 than the bigger bulkier Ford GT1 (and slim Doran Ford GT2). Though with obviously more sophisticated aero

What was the story with this? Tim Pappas right? But was Falken sponsoring his team for that short GT program?

Maybe this speedhunters article by andy_b from 2008 gives enough context?

Anyone remember the Doran Ford GT2 of ACS Express that was entered for PLM 2010 and was planning to do full 2011 season, so you'd potentially had THREE Ford GTs in that season with the two Robertsons as well.

But they whacked the car in practice even before first quali and never bothered to show anywhere again. Talk about short projects

I wonder when will hear more about the driver lineup? I guess itll be at years end or early next year when we see the full lineup. With two cars each for IMSA and WEC there are eight spots up for grabs plus another four for the longer endurance races.

Joey Hand is pretty much certain-IMSA probably?
Scott Pruett? Would definitely be in for a IMSA seat if he is involved.
Stefan Mucke is a rumoured pilot-moreso for the WEC programme

This is the reason Hand left BMW, so he's as guaranteed as you can be without being actually confirmed.
Mucke is already confirmed isn't he? Or is he just confirmed as leaving Aston?

I believe he's confirmed to be leaving Aston but not confirmed with Ford. But honestly where else would he go?

Porsche possibly?
Mucke's a very fast German, and Porsche have the lure of a potential LMP1 future for their GT guys.

Having said that, I agree that's it's almost certain he'll turn up at Ford.

I dont think that there is room at Porsche for him, it seems as though they have plenty of GT guys to pick from.

That car was totaled. I saw it in the paddock after the accident. There was talk that they were going to get another chassis from Doran or the team had ties to Huffaker Engineering to rebuild it but it never happened. I think Doran may still have a chassis or two laying around.

Surely Scott Maxwell has to be in contention for a seat, considering he's been one of the main development drivers and Multimatic's involvement?

Doran definitely does. They ran one at the Historics at Indy earlier this year.
