Since posting that I've read some stuff that's muddling the issue. They did apparently have updated bodywork, but I'm getting conflicting reports as to whether they were the same ones in the later test session, whether they were on all the cars, blah blah.
So yeah, unclear info that was presented as if it was something important. Let's set it aside and wait for the next thing. |

He also might have said the Ligier was already homologated, making it the first official p3. Also Ligier had already sold a massive number of these, but he couldn't tell us the exact count yet. |

I've heard that there has been an order for 30 ligier wiring looms. I'd say they've had a few orders.

I have a feeling that the Ginettas will all start gathering dust with Ligiers turn up.

Shame there's no Ginetta racing in Fuji, would have answered the performance differences quickly and easily.

5th manufacturer
Any rumour around about the identity of the fifth LMP3 manufacturer?

Where it will have absolutely no competition.
At this time, there are only THREE ENTRIES in the Asian Le Mans Series - 1 LMP2, 1 LMP3, and 1 GT. The GT entry hasn't even picked a manufacturer for their entry. Can we please put this series out of it's misery already? People keep saying "oh this is the year it will take off! Just you wait and see!" and every year is worse than the one before. The only time the series got an even halfway decent field is when they allowed GT300 cars to race. |

Asian Le Mans Series (or whatever) has it's own thread (it's somewhere buried in the pile...).

Endurance Info have some nice pictures from the Adess 03 shakedown at Hockenheim. Adess really make pretty cars, I just hope that this one performs better than their previous design.

How much of that was due to the car, and how much to that Kolles fellow? |

Actually, it was probably most likely due to the third-party funding that the car was supposed to get being withdrawn midway through development. They were relying entirely on that budget for the project, so once it was gone any hope of the car being good was pretty much dead.

Looking at the photos of the new Adess and the Ligier, the Ligier does look somewhat smaller? But being as the regulations are the same for everyone, perhaps this is purely a camera illusion. That said, it would appear that both are somewhat slimmer than the Ginetta? Was anyone at the Adess test who has also seen the Ligier live to give an opinion? |

Mariantic has a picture of the Adess from a side view that I think makes it look pretty bulky and strangely proportioned.
