No Lister in GB 2003!
We could be losing the British based GTS Lister Storm as dave Warnock wants to move to the FIA series. WE could be without a Lister at all next year now when we supposed to have 3 according to rumours at the start of the year!

Do you mean no Listers anywhere or none in the UK? They'll be a sad loss either way as they, pre-Saleen and Prodrive 550, and post-ORECA Viper, have provided the benchmark of professionalism in both series. The cars look cool too, and are always driven with commitment. Will they concentrate on their prototype? They would do well to develop a GT-spec XK8 (something they could probably do with strong factory blessing)...
Two TVR Speed 12s would be a fine thing, but Listers they are not. BTW, y'know the 'Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious' Lotus acronym, there must be one of those for TVR, because, well, candidly, they do break down don't they?

I hope the Storm's don't disappear completely aswell, I imagine they'll continue in the FIA series though.
TVR = Tremendous Victories Rarely  (sorry Martin/Simon and all)

Lister should still be around in the FIA next year, depending on the funding they can get and who will race the LMP 900 car I suppose. But there should still be the GTS car for a while yet. 2 Speed 12's? I haven't haerd that one. Good news if its true, shame they can't get it out this year really.

Methinks the 2 Speed 12's rumour will remain just that - A rumour! The last i heard (and saw) the second race car was little more than a shell having been robbed of bits all season to keep #27 running.
