x 2. The Jota livery is beautiful. The Zytek for years has been my favourite LMP spyder. Glad Greaves is bringing theirs to Petit!

I have always thought the Zytek was a nice looking car. In my opinion the Strakka Relentless was the nicest livery on that body also liked the 2011 Quifel-ASM (Dark gray/blue/white).

Will be interesting to see if something sportscar-related comes out of the upcoming Sebastien Loeb/Citroen press conference in Paris.

He is rumoured to be doing a partial schedule next season. That might leave him open to return to Le Mans and a few other sportscar events.

Yes, I think that is very likely - well I hope it is. Though it isn't going down well with Rally only fans. Citroen are meant to be announcing something as well. What other series could they do? Engine supplier in LMP2.?? What about the 1.6T engines??

A partial WRC programme for Loeb and a full season for Hirvonen and a second undisclosed driver.

The PR mentions that Citroen is looking at WTCC:
Quote:
In addition to a partial WRC season in 2013, Citroën and Sébastien Loeb continue to consider how they will work together in the future. Always on the lookout for new challenges, the Brand and its emblematic driver are weighing up the possibility of entering the FIA World Touring Car Championship (FIA WTCC) in 2014/2015. “The role of brand ambassador for Citroën cannot be a passive one for someone as driven as Sébastien. This project would give him the opportunity to pursue his career in track racing with the support of the manufacturer with which he has worked since his competitive debut. For Citroën, the WTCC would enable us to showcase Créative Technologie in major markets, such as China and Brazil,” explained Yves Matton. “The final decision regarding this programme is linked to the changes in the FIA regulations and, obviously, the determination of our current and future partners to support us in this project.”
That announcement sort of rules out Citroen getting involved with LMP cars.

Shame they are trying to force Loeb into the WTCC. They clearly don't want to let him go as a brand ambassador, but if Pug couldn't afford a P1 programme neither can Citroen.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/102878

I'm still assuming that with the rallies he will skip next year he can do Le Mans.

Yes - but he recently said that he would not drive for his own team - he was only interested in driving at LM if it was with a manufacturer with a chance of winning........

Weird - that was my thought. That is what it looks like. Why on earth would you want to drive a 300BHP FWD Tin top???

In the context of the Bentley announcement and all the other sportscar discussions on Midweek Motorsport last night, Graham Goodwin suggested that a GTE racing programme using the BMW Z4 is about to be made official.

GTE sounds SO promising for the future!
Let's hope it stays that way, and it wont fail like LMP1 in 2009. (this was of course because of the economic climate)

They and just about other auto news outlet. The general public can't be bothered to know the differences between the billions of endurance classes after all

Well to be fair, the WRC will have VW and Hyundai soon. WTCC is quite poor at the moment.

If he's only doing 4 events next year, what will he do for the rest of the year?

What about a famous, legendary Sportscar race in June, in France...???
