The DeltaWing engine is build by RML with a Nissan nameplate on top of it, so my guess would be that it is about that.

Nissan is unvealing on Tuesday that they are "providing" the engine for the Delta Wing. Providing in this case means rebranding the RML Chevrolet WTCC 1.6 turbo engine.

Both announcements are on Tuesday. Hence, jc_nl's comment...

WEC entries thread is closed still but I'm just wondering what's up with the second Signatech car. Think I've obviously missed something but despite being entered for the championship it's not at Sebring. Was this planned?

Also with that entry's named driver at Le Mans (Franck Mailleux) now named alongside Tresson and Lombard, there are no listed drivers named against it.

So is this entry going to go a similar way to last year's second car and get removed from the entry list? Or possibly just a one-off at Le Mans?

Which second car? Signatech has only one car in the full WEC season: http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/...ist_310112.pdf

Ahh.

That will be why they aren't at Sebring then. Forgive me, it was the WEC logo next to the #26 car on the LM entry list which threw me. Obviously in error.

It's under the "extra entries per team at Le Mans if approved" rule.

Looks like Jan Charouz will not be racing for Gulf Middle East anymore. He will be replaced at Sebring by Jean-Denis Deletraz.

Anyone know more about this? Sponsorship not coming through?

I don't think this will have any implications for Rebellion/Kodewa but it's interesting to see that the 'Lotus' F1 team have terminated their title sponsorship with Group Lotus.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/98628

Financial uncertainties within the group. Interesting to hear Gerard Lopez say that: "We are happy to carry the Lotus name as we believe it is a good name for F1."

I'd argue the Lotus name is worth next to zero. What goodwill it has is surely running out.

I think that Rebellion already realizes that mess they are involved in.
Quote:
Not satisfied with making Colin Kolles’s team its spearhead in LM P2 with a Lola-Judd that contains no Lotus technology, it has also signed a partnership with the Rebellion Team (Lola-Toyota). But the English make is in the process of changing hands and the association with the Swiss team is taking time to become finalised. “We’re very embarrassed’” says the PR officer for the Swiss outfit, which is still not in a position to provide information about this partnership that’s plain for all to see.

I just hope that it doesn't leave these teams short on funding in some way. That would be unforgivable, especially when a quality outfit like Rebellion don't need, on the face of it, to resort to this re-branding.

So basically, Lotus come ploughing in to Formula One, starting a two-year long battle with a team already named Lotus (which they had already agreed to), just to get their own name back and rebrand another existing team, only to pull out as soon as they got the name?

That's stupidity and immaturity at its very finest, but their sportscar "project" looks to be even worse. What on earth are they playing at?

I would be very angry if Rebellion were hurt by any of Lotus's problems. I couldnt careless about the LMP2 team though. If your going do to a factory effort right, hire some pros for crying out loud. If they were running an all pro GT effort like Corvette are then that would make a whole lot more sense by actually racing cars they make not just slapping their badge on others they don't. As much as think the JPS livery looks splendid I would rather see it on an actual Lotus.

John Dagys explains that Rebellion painted the car in the JPS livery without a signed contract

And then I find out that the Rebellion-Lotus tie-in is not yet "signed" yet, the cars were painted up in Lotus livery at Sebring! #WEC

It just adds to the confusion we all have about Lotus' involvement in sportscar racing (at least from a sponsorship perspective)

Read more about Rebellion situation in latest issue of "Le Mans Racing" - which is now offered in English. Brilliant! http://bit.ly/Heq0Nt
