He said he saw these things in Cologne? Remember Subaru's parent company, Fuji heavy industries is owned in part by Toyota- who just happen to have their TMG facility in Cologne. Hmm, I wonder if theres a connection?

It may have just been the large beer that was in Cologne. That is actually quite unusual.

The Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ share the same chassis so there is certainly some synergy there. What that actually means for sportscar racing I don't know.

Ecurie Ecosse planning to return to Le Mans in 2014 in GTE. They say they can't run the BMW Z4 GTE because they are only allotted for TUSCC. So they are in talks with another manufacturer. |

I'd assume whatever they purchase will be run in the ELMS alongside. I'm sure Aston would like an ELMS presence and some of the associated PR with the name returning to La Sarthe. |

With the Aston news, it doesn't seem likely they will run one. But that could change. Porsche is full as well. That leaves Ferrari, Vette or Viper. I think the last option would be a great sight!

Some more details of the Subaru on RCE here
Some will, I have no doubt, recall the name of the project leader, Al Solari, from an abortive ALMS project a few years back - I suspect everyone will be capable of drawing their own conclusions about this one. |

Perfect timing
"A warrant for the arrest of Alberto Solaroli, 59, of Jacksonville, Florida, was issued on Thursday" " Solaroli received a one year line of credit which he took within the first month of the loan approval, with over $900,000 being paid to Porche Motorsport, N.A. Solaroli never made a single payment on the loan causing OneBanc to sue Solaroli. " http://www.arkansasmatters.com/story...N0S8FSAPVKcOOw |

The end of the article said the system was used on a 5 cylinder Audi engine making over 800hp. So it definitely works.

But it exists. Vaporware doesn't exist. Whether it goes anywhere is questionable, but the same can be said of other projects like the Perrinn lmp1 etc.

I don't honestly think you could make this stuff up, it makes the Soup Kitchen Courage-Cosworth project of a few years back look well thought through. |
