Risi had a gravity feed fuel system that was controversial IIRC, I could be wrong. The 458 was the car running closest to true GT2 spec, it would have cleaned house without all the breaks given to the others.

Apparently it’s LMPC information day.

BAR, formerly know as Merchant Services Racing, confirmed for two cars. John Dagys story here. Divers:

No. 7 car: TBA/TBA + Chapman Ducote for endro races
No. 8 car: Kyle Marcelli/Chris Cumming + Stefan Johansson for endro races

DragonSpeed Launches PC Program press release here. of interest:
Quote:
Schultis’ car is already on its way to Florida, but won’t make the ALMS Winter Test at Sebring next week due to DragonSpeed’s participation in the Bathurst 12 Hour enduro with its Audi R8 LMS ultra GT3. A second LMPC chassis may be brought over after Sebring in response to interest from several drivers.

Is there a date fixed for the reveal of the BMW Z4 GTE?

I was reading Speedhunters and one of their guys reports that they will go out to Florida next week to shoot the car. Note that the Winter test at Sebring is this week. Do BMW plan to be there this week?

Odd channel for breaking this piece of news, but Romain Dumas will once again run for Pickett in the enduros (Sebring and Petit).

Problems at TRG?

Why, I've never...

Sucks, but unsurprising given the team running it...

Scroll down until you see the picture of the BMW Z4 GT3

Quote:
Next week I’ll be heading out to Florida to shoot BMW’s new GT weapon: the GTE-spec Z4 that will be BMW’s new global GT platform. In the American Le Mans Series it’s going to be battling Porsches, Ferraris, Vipers and Aston Martins, and BMW used the recent Dubai 24 Hours as a testing ground for many of the parts that’ll be used on the car.

Perhaps it all hinged on finding thr money and it was not found.

A bit disappointed to say the least.

That is the method by which TRG works, and they've been a successful business in doing so. It looked like a fishing trip from the beginning, no surprises here.
