Vanwall is from Motorsport history.

Sounds like this might be toast for 2023 according to Graham on TWISC.
Same reason it was toast for 2022. Paperwork is not in order. |

I am still totally baffled by the choice of Vanwall as a brand

And beyond that, why would they continue down that road knowing that they were heavily opposed and would get dragged through various courts. You can't tell me there aren't other boutique options out there.
What a complete waste of two seasons. |

You’d almost assume they don’t want to compete.

I suppose it makes a change to have money to burn instead of engines.....

A complete waste of our time too. But I guess at least we didn't get our hopes up too much

At least we weren't relying on them to make up the numbers like in recent seasons. But next year would have been their chance to do something with a relatively simple car against some very new and complicated cars from some of the biggest names in the game. A real wasted opportunity.

I don’t fully understand this saga. Kolles has designed a car, loosely branded it a Vanwall, attempted to enter the WEC and it’s been rejected, again. So what’s the reason for its rejection?

Someone else owns the Vanwall name. He couldn't call it a Toyota either.

Looking more like a failed attempt to try and re-classify and enter what is an LMP1 under another name. And it's not working...
Glickenhaus and Alpine have the common sense to either enter cars under the proper understanding of the rules. One has a car that,ever going the non-hybrid route, is very capable of matching and beating the competition. Alpine chose to "grandfather" their older car in order to make the necessary moves to build their ,LMH/LMDh contender in due time. That's why Alpine, I F, Lamborghini and possible others are listing '24 as the year that they will be ready to enter their cars, giving them time to engineer, build, and test them while watching the competition run this season. In the words of my favorite movie character, Michael Corleone, used to say, " it's the smart move..." |

Maybe they figure out a legal name and enter in 2024.

Firewall.
Given the propensity for previous efforts to end in flames, what else could be more appropriate? |

Did they do something? I see they are on the entry list for 2023? What changed?

Not a clue. Perhaps the issue was 'resolved'......
