As mentioned in the LM thread, Ginetta are testing again at Spa ahead of the 2019/20 entry deadline. Will anything come of it? It would be good to have a replacement for Dragonspeed.

Hmmm, actually the deadline was yesterday so I guess we could find out soon...

This sounds like a better thought out plan than last year. Get the entries in at least, and then take the time to find a team that has a good chance of actually completing the season.

They (Ginetta) have entered the cars while they look for a partner. I want to stay optimistic but still don't know who a potential partner would be.

I thought of them too but with programs in Indycar, ELMS LMP2, FIA F2, FIA F3, Euroformula Open, British F3 and British F4, they may be a little stretched just now.

How about Team MTEK? They are suddenly out of work and looking 'to be involved in competition at the highest level in motorsport.' 100% speculation of course.

Signs are looking good for Ginetta. I hope a well established team picks up the cars to run them. We need them to help boost LMP1 now dragonspeed have gone

Great news ! Finally we will see the cars on track. I still think that JC Racing could take the opportunity to make the jump into P1.

A very good swap between DragonSpeed and Ginetta.
For sure, they will have a better driver line up !

When this project started Ginetta was sure to building ten tubs for 3 or 4 teams. We know where this story ended. I can't see any private buyer taking that on.
You know, I'm sensing a lot of parallels to the healthcare debate here.

Knowing LNT he will see that particular model didn't work and change tack. A factory entry or close to it, possibly 2.

Good luck to them!

A factory entry is not permitted for non-hybrid LMP1 so they will need to find an independent team to run the car/s.

Exactly, that’s what they’re entering as. Team LNT.

As I said factory or close to.. Maybe they are underwriting it or something? Anyway, they have lodged entries.

From DSC

“Details of the team, drivers and other parts of the package will be released in due course.”

Talks are understood to be underway with a range of potential programme partners for the WEC, Ginetta choosing to secure the entries whilst negotiations continue.

An almost guaranteed entry for LM in P1 might be the brighter prospect than a very hard fought one in P2.

Also, with pressure mounting on the ACO to 'save' P1 they might be willing to let in "boutique manufacturers" (again, pure speculation on my part but not beyond imagination). You could argue a LNT entered Ginetta is no more of a factory entry than especially a commissioned Oreca (by Rebellion).

BMW and DragonSpeed LMP1 being out now, I will be very surprised if the ACO dorsn’t let them in

Are they running a more aggressive antilag on the AER now that the fuel allocation limit is gone? Very noisy on the over run. The SMPs sounded the same at Spa this year.

Or perhaps I am imagining it.

Yes I think masquerading their own entry under LNT will work - it did for their LMP3 in 2015 - however they're not really gonna get much worth for their money this way

Not sure, but that did sound pretty good on the downshift.

But the homologation for this car looks to be ending in 25 months time (of which likely only 13 in semi competitive state) so there's not much time to profit on it really

Anyway, in a way this the history of this project has mirrored that of HPD ARX-04
