More in the car than they have shown. Look out for Boris in qualifying.

I guess the Robertsons are really serious about things as they are scheduled to haul both cars to France for the Le Mans Test Days. Quite ambitious I would say. Corvette are only sending Beretta, Gavin and Milner to do all the set up work with only the Larbe car.

Corvette doesn't have to send its cars to the test, Robertsons are required to since they're a new team with a car that's never been at Le Mans.

Good news on the restrictor "adjustment" from IMSA and news of an electric hybrid.

So Doran's cars were road cars - Matech's were purpose built by Ford. |

The Doran chassis came from a Ford GT chassis. Same with Matech. And from what I understand Ford supplied Matech additional chassis after the production run of cars was over. I do not know if these were left over or new builds. The Doran cars have a Doran serial number as well as a VIN.

Very nice story on Dave, Andrea and the Robertson Racing Team in the print April 18th edition of Autoweek. I hope they put it up on their website.

Ha! Could have a fundraiser to put Ten-Tenths on the car :P But that wouldn't be an individual I guess.
Then there would always be the problem of the autograph and cap. |

Wow, those are cheap sponsorship packages. Like, super dirt cheap. They make all the Jetta TDI Cup sponsorship package proposals that I saw look like F1 numbers.

Seriously, hope it works out for them. Lot of folk hurtin' for money and sure can't be a cheap trip to Le Mans. Gotta be eating into the checkbook. Best of luck to them. |

Does seem like something they are doing for fans more than for the cash, although I wouldn't be surprised if they raise a good bit of cash from it. Hope they do the same thing for Petit and maybe I can get a picture of my sticker on the car with me.

So is it a 4" x 1" or an 8" x 2" for the $250? It says 2 different things on the 2 pages. Super cheap either way.

So did David and Andrea get their rookie laps done for Le Mans? Listening to the RLM pod casts now and it sounds like both cars are stranded on the track and neither had done a full 10 laps each.

All drivers got their laps in. It was a bit of nail biter for David. Now just waiting to hear if the GT-Pro car (#69) gets into the race.
