They do not appear on the entry list for Sebring. I think this project is completely dead, despite Graham's laudable optimism.

Now that the current privateer cars are going to be okay for a few years, I think it has given a bit of hope for Ginetta.

Yeah but it's still just a single year of promised top class running + one year in slowed-down form, most likely not being able to match LMGTP... is that enough of a carrot

I can assure you funding is totally in place and our models will 100% be gracing the track in 2019.
Real shame that this project has come into issues for Ginetta. through work I saw some of the early work first hand, they are a great company to deal with and the car does I'm sure have some real potential. Looks great too. but yeah, buy one of ours! its great! Simon Scalextric Senior Marketing Executive |

Actualy, theren't many teams that could run the car.
ByKolles? I think it would be better that their current car that has been developped a long time ago. In LMP2, Jackie Chan DC Racing? Graff Racing? Let see.... |

I'm quite sure that their own unique chassis is strictly derived from the old 2013 adess lmp2 carbon monocoque, that was developed to be 2014 lmp1 rules compatible back at those days. Indeed before to switch to AER, CLM P1 was going to use the dtm audi 4L V8 that fitted well the original engine bay used for the judd-bmw V8 3.6L |

Kodewa went on to become ByKolles. Presumably in something to do with the Lotus mess of who owned what, as the chassis was originally branded a Lotus. |

Sad thing is i actually think the Ginetta is quite a pretty car by modern standards.

It's so sad to see a capable car parked like this one. Money sucks when it disappear in the wrong moment. Can't believe they can't find somebody to run the team/cars.
BTW, as WEC currently looks with the poor interest in HyperCars, if Toyota leaves after the super season, the new world will be ruled by DPis / LMP1. |

They probably could've leased the cars already had it not been for the lame LMGTP regs that render the chassis soon obsolete. Or the entry regulations that dictate no-entry if Goodwin's right on the Pruett podcast

I think it would be great to see the cars out again. They are nice looking things and more variety in the field can never be a bad thing!

- the vast majority are set to do so with the only major questions surrounding acceptance (or otherwise) and status of a group of LMP1 teams that include the pair of now AER engined Ginettas, both of which DSC believes have been entered -- |
