Not sure how much this really moves things on from what we already knew but Dome appear to be edging towards a return next year and have a few interested parties in running the S102. Decision will be taken soon.

Perhaps it's just that some US cars are unsuitable for European roads and running costs, the Japanease have integrated better because their models fit within European product lines, Korean cars are a coming force too. Of course Ford and GM have very successful Euro/Asia specific models, maybe touring car racing, rallying etc. will get a foothold in the US when these models are integrated into the US product line*, your seeing it already with the Fiesta and it's use in X-Games. *European and Japanease models are also taking a foothold in South America and China, so maybe the Ford/GM model changeover in the US won't take long.

According to @dsceditor the news round-up seems to be.........
............Honda will announce a P1 program, the R8 LMS will be homologated in ALMS GTE, and two new manufactuers will be announcing WEC GTE programs. http://www.dailysportscar.com/headlines.cfm |

As for the two WEC GTE's, only news is it's not the LFA, could be the Viper (expected this to be ALMS focused?), Ford GT (already announced) anything else is a complete guess, Nissan would be a good shout seeing as they already have GT1 and GT3 versions of the GT-R. |

Could it be the Lambda Ford GT? As mentioned in the other thread, they're going to present the GTE, apparently, at Essen, and plan to build 6.

As for the R8, Graham's line "plan is limited GTE homologation for ALMS only" sounds kinda fishy... GT3 in GT2's clothes maybe? And if this happens to be true I dear god hope it's not going to be another M3, loaded with waivers and massive restrictors. That would be a freaking disaster
Anyway I'm praying that one of those candidates is Viper indeed |
