Because they are main shareholder of Audi and Lambo.

And VAG in turn owns Audi, Lambo, Skoda, SEAT, Bugatti, Bentley, Scania, MAN and maybe a few more even. Complicated story really and no one knows for sure who controlls what and who has the stranglehold on who and with what. |

Yes the Tech 9 car was withdrawn at Thruxton because of concerns about oil starvation that took out both Mondena Gallardo GT3's. But both are running at Oschersleben this weekend, fastest in free practice and 4th in yesterday's race |

The car which finished on fourth place is the ADAC GT Masters chassis of Haase / von Thurn und Taxis. It is not one of Tech9´s regular cars.

They are running their Murci in FIA GT at Silverstone this year, but I don't see them on the lists for this weekend.
Maybe they are dealing with the oil starvation problems on the Gallardo they need to address for their customers. |

And they weren't at Adria either because they said they didn't have enough time to prepare the car after Le Mans. Tom. |

Will Reiter continue with the Murcielago R-GT in 2009? Thought I heard something they won't race this year...

Ok, but I thought the sponsor (Inter Progress Bank, IPB) had some money trouble...

If Reiter are concentrating on GT2 with the Gallardo then they might forgo running the Murcielago in GT1. Which would be a shame, if there is almost no one in LMS GT1 then Reiter would be in a good position for a podium and perhaps the win.

The chance of Reiter racing the R-GT is very small. IPB will not race the R-GT either in 2009 I read somewhere.
The only R-GT racing in 2009 is the one of JLOC in LMS (again) and trying to gain a 24h LM 09 entry because of that. |

If there is a sponsor who pays the bill, Reiter Eingineering will race a Murciélago. Otherwise the cars will stay at home.

Will the JLOC car be Reiter run possibily . If their serious abot trying for a Le Mans entry , that would certainly help their chances . Or will this be just another one of their half assed efforts ?

If JLOC will ask Reiter to work for them in Le Mans.....but JLOC (in my opinion) is a kind of team, which doesn´t work seriously enough for a race like Le Mans. They go to races without rebuilding the cars, without a needed quantity of spare parts....
