Well the Hope Racing Hybrid car got further than other LMP1s did last year oder years before that. I thought it was a great project and it's a pity they didn't get an entry for 2012. I had hopes that they would still get in via the reserve list, but it seems like thats not going to happen

The autoextremist.com has a piece making a case for GM to be participating at Le Mans in 2014 - and competing for the overall win.

This is some exciting stuff. I'm all in for it, but not if it means the end of the GT program, and potentially C7.R whenever that happens...

Very interesting OAK news, regarding the #35 car line-up.

Bas Leinders, Maxime Martin and David Heinemeier Hansson

Judging by those driver choices I would assume that there could be some co-opertion between Oak and Marc VDS this year? Similar to Kronos Aston Martin in 2011

Or am I putting 1 and 2 together and getting five...

Probably the latter, it's just a function of Martin and Leinders being more than decent drivers. LMP2 is officially getting more manic with every driver announcement.

I thought the exact same thing regarding a co-operation but I think this is just it - strong drivers. That's all the OAK slots filled now.

Yes that is the way it reads. However i dont think that the author actually has any info from GM that this decision has been made.

Do you think this will have anything to do with the GM/Peugeot thing?

Cadillac could also run in VLN and/or the Nurburgring 24, no? Though admittedly the exposure to that on a wider scale still does not compare to Le Mans.

Apparently Lola are about to announce a new LMP customer shortly, any guesses? Is this the Dempsey P2 already announced by the team or could it be another P2 for the ALMS? The Autocon guys?

I think that would be great to see. The N24 would be perfect for the Caddy since they market themselves as testing there and being faster than a Ferrari or some nonsense....

It could be an ELMS team I suppose too but with their calendar in doubt it is unlikely. I can't see it being a WEC team as it is too early to announce for 2013.

It is a completely fabricated opinion piece.

If Cadillac chooses to race elsewhere, it will be in North American DTM, against it's showroom competitors, Audi, Mercedes and BMW.

The competitors, or cars in the ALMS are not showroom competitors of Cadillac.

We don't know the 2014 rules yet, but in what world does racing a small capacity engine make sense marketing a Corvette?

Autoextremist is out to lunch on this one.

Cadillac DTM car would basically be the definition of what GM is trying to achieve. They want the Cadillac brand to compete with BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. They have definitely put DTM on the table. whether or not they get the go ahead is another story but that is definetly something they think long and hard about every night.

Could that signal a return to DTM by their Opel brand? Imagine an Opel branded CTS coupe taking on the German coupes. Or maybe they'll just stay with the N.A. DTM series, if it takes off. I thought the merging with SuperGT would be the precursor to the American DTM? That merger looks troubled and doubtful so far.
