That's certainly my assumption, given that the #5 is apparently largely funded by Ginetta. I haven't seen his name linked to getting a seat at Le Mans until this.

I pray for a good showing. Because with it may come REAL customers with actual money to purchase/lease the car(s). That's what this car needs. It needs to show it's pace and competitiveness so anyone on the fence says "time to pull the trigger".

It might be too late already considering the performance shown by Rebellion-Oreca (and BR-Dallara's 'issues') at Spa.

I know what I would be targeting if I were a team owner with P1 ambitions (and am pretty sure David Cheng feels the same about it).

Yeah, they could be on a hiding to nothing compared to the other privateers. I think they might be in for a shock

They have the test day to show up and test, if they don't I see it very difficult for Le mans.

What's the current rules on the test day? Do they need to attend or set a certain time (assuming they have drivers who are suitably pre-qualified/experienced enough not to need to set lap times).

The sporting regs say attendance is mandatory.

They also say the 24 Hours of Le Mans lasts from 31 May to 18 June. That's a long 24 hours!

Looking at the Le Mans entry list it appears that the Ginetta's are back. DSC saying that Ginetta itself might be helping?

It was hinted last night on Midweek Motorsport that one L. Tomlinson esq. might give them a hand. (At least I think it was.)

I hope so. The Ginettas have a pretty unique look in my opinion and that Mechachrome engine is very interesting. Would be a big big shame not to see those in action at Le Mans.

I hope they are in the grid and have a good run. Would love to see more interest in the chassis for next season

Everybody wants Ginetta racing but few start still believe they will do it with Manor and money from China.

Some positive noises from Alex Brundle.

"So glad things have come together to take this awesome machine to Le Mans 2018.
