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. |

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:

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. |

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.

Let's hope it stays that way, and it wont fail like LMP1 in 2009. (this was of course because of the economic climate) |

Top geat have tweeted that Bentley is going to Le Mans with the new racecar - I assume that is typical Top Gear rubbish?

It would be nice to think that they could get a screwdriver out and switch the badges over on those nice P1's in the garage

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...??? |

According to Jalopnik, Bentley is targeting a 2015 assault on Le Mans. We may see a Bentley continental gte in the future |

They've got an engine to the correct (lol) displacement now in the V8 so they can enter a GTE car later on...
