Haha not a surprise to see the Jaguar speculation. It was the first thing that I thought of too but I'd imagine they'd need a more experienced team possibly to make their return?

And I doubt they will be active in 2013 if that part of the rumour is true. Who knows?

This seems pretty logical. Walkinshaw's efforts have been solely focused on V8SC for such an extended period.

As to whether the company is (or, was) in fact Tata, I have no idea.
There's likely more than one automotive (oriented) company in India.

It's nice to dream, though.

Nice to see that Oreca have confirmed Sebastien Loeb will be at the Le Mans test day.

Hopefully the WRC/WEC calendars allow him to race there next season.

After a good rumour yesterday here's another an another Murphy rumour which I'm hoping isn't true.

@Murphythebear
Rumored: Martin Biranne to end Lola cash support of 4M pounds/year. Others trying to keep afloat thru Le Mans. Layoffs may be imminent.

I really hope that, that rumors is going no where and is no more than a tiny dispute overblown.

Yes they have, along with 4 of the reserves (Jetalliance and Hope Racing in LMP, Lotus and the reserve-listed Aston Martin in GT). Status and Murphy are in the race now.

Dyson have taken steps to sure up their ALMS championship campaign by bringing in Johnny Mowlem.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/98922

Nice that they have got JM in, as the 'we aren't going to Le Mans as we are concentrating on the ALMS' wouldn't have washed so much if they'd gone back to Cochran.

I would assume the Hope project is dead now, would have preferred that car in garage 56 over the Deltawing...

With Audi and Toyota going for hybrid systems, I don't think it would have qualified for garage 56 anyway, they were a regular entry last year (albeit with hybrid power) and applied as a regular entry this year too, since they were on the reserve list for the regular LMP entry list.

Nah it was a waste of space last year. No need to give it another entry. Before it had turned a wheel the DeltaWing generated more publicity for sportscars and the race then the Hope entry ever could.

Hoping next year something similarly outlandish gets picked.

Woaah Audi confirms Marc Gene as the reserve driver for Le Mans.

He'll get a race a Spa too. Wise move there!

Yeah, I thought he was going to be part of 4 car effort @ Spa but couldn't see his name in the entry list. Gene will team up with Bonanomi and Jarvis then.

Never, like buses, wait for ages then two come at the same time

(we have had a handful of drivers though, most notably, David Kennedy - part owner of Status GP, Derek Daly and of course Martin Birane)
