Others likely to appear are Doran Dallara/Judd, Dyson, original Mk.III (Sebring is still a goal of his) and somewhere I read Courage are to enter at least 1 car, Pescarolo Courage is another possibilty.

Any connection with the Armagnac Norma that failed to qualify for Le Mans in 1990, I wonder? |

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sportracer/ The Sezio Florida team has been running Norma chassis in GrandAm for the last few (two?) seasons, and they have made steady progress. Now they feel they are ready for the ALMS, and possibly a teturn to Le Mans. While that may be optimistic, it does look like a useful little chassis. The Mader engine is gone, too - they have a Kinetics-built 6l Ford V8 now. http://jl.tertrin.free.fr/ There are a number of interesting chassis at Daytona that may appear in the ALMS as well - the revised Crawford looks way better than the original creation (James Weaver took it for a spin and will have reported back to Rob Dyson I would guess - maybe we won't see those old Mk.IIIs back in the ALMS after all), there are two variations of a "development" Riley & Scott Mk.IIIc, and the Doran Dallara is a beauty (even if the Judd engine may still be on the fragile side). |
