Hello, all,
It's been a very interesting entrance to the silly season, as is usually the case in the field of motorsports. I just wanted to put up some speculation entries for the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans.
So, let's get up to date. Flying Lizard is changing from Porsche to something very mysterious. Porsche has ceased to develop the 997 and has began on the 991, the newest version of the Porsche 911. McLaren seems very interested in developing the McLaren MP4-12C into a GTE car. With the ALMS/Grand-Am merger in 2014, as well as rumors surrounding one single GT category across the globe (wouldn't that make things easier?) in 2015, we've got some interesting prospects on the horizon. BMW is developing a Z4 GTE car. Bentley is developing a "GT3" car, which will be used in a limited schedule in 2013 and a full schedule in 2014. SO!...
