MG Update
MG have not ruled out the 2003 Le Mans 24hr. They are in discussion with a team to run the factory cars next year.
They will have support from the Factory, and they have been talking since this years Le Mans to get a deal sorted out. Come on get the MG's out for the boys The only things Audi were scared of. |

Sounds like another hastily put together one race, no testing season for the MG team. I have a feeling the Dyson MGs may wipe the floor with the works cars. |

...unless Dyson runs the factory MGs? (Maybe they could poach Andy Wallace and get another Brit to go with James, as their flag-bearers)
I'm wondering about AER's support, and if that translates into "factory" status. |

The team is RML (Ray Mallock). Apparently this is a go.

I also think that Chamberlain will be in the running as Uncle Hugh and the boys have done a good job over the last 2 years.

Hugh resigned from Chamberlain Motorsport due to a few disagreements and formed a new company - CMS - who were then asked to run the MG works cars. Simple really. hmmm...

Meanwhile, it looks like the XPower SV may eventually end up in N-GT competition.

I have see elsewhere on that Dave Price is involved in the running of the MGs. does anyone know more?
IMHO he would be a good choice to run the LMP675 next year, few people have more experiance than him. |

Dave Price would be top of my list if I was MG, but RML have done a very good job with the Salean.

IMO I think we will see a couple of private EX-257 in 675 and a couple of work SV's in LMP-GTO.
