Perhaps Kolles could run the R18s, based on the fact that they at least have some previous relationship with Audi and I thought I read somewhere that Mr. Kolles has been released from his F1 duties, but I don't follow F1 so I don't know the details on that.
The Hyundai GTE project is interesting. I see the point about making a GT car before making a GTE, but it's not a factory project so it's not like Hyundai is involved in any way to decide they want to go GT racing, and if they wanna make a Hyundai then they sorta have to use what is given. I can't help but wonder what it was that made them decide "after careful review" that the Genesis would be the best thing to go GT racing with? |

If there was an insistence to go with Hyundai (and possibly attract factory interest) why not use a version of the 2.0T WRC engine in P2? |

as happen in the street evora, i think that the main problem is the poor engine; surely also the aero need to be updated.

Someone is getting railed over on the ALMS forums for similar doubts though, so maybe we should be careful. |

Hyundai has a new 5.0L V8 too. I wouldn't be surprised to see that wind up in the Genesis coupe sooner or later.

According to Japanese AUTOSPORT,
Japanese driver Keita Sawa participated in the shakedown test of Chevrolet Camaro GT3 by Reiter Engineering. http://as-web.jp/news/info.php?c_id=6&no=38299 |

I saw on the ESPN racing page that Robert Doornbos seems to be inquiring about the LMS (ELMS?) on his Twitter page. Whether he has some offers there or if it is a general inquiry I know not.

Why was Sawa at the test? (for some reason I cannot view the J-Autosport link). |

If you read the car page they have GT2 and GTE together. They are the same category. The gen coupe is a nice car, with a V8 it would produce the power, so bring it on. Just having factory support doesnt mean it will happen (or be any good), RSR Jag is no good and it has factory support. |

Besides, GTE is such a tough field right now, and i just don't see the room for a successful private build car. |

According to Minoru Hayashi's tweets,
It seems that the negotiation for LM24 between Dome and Taki Inoue broke down. He says that he is childlike. No one cannot participate in Le Mans if not childlike. And he says "Goodbye (Taki)". http://twitter.com/#!/dome_hayashi/s...10412042756096 |
