Have Murphy Prototypes been confirmed for the WEC yet?

Because it seems like that is going to happen:

They will do well to hold on to Brendan Hartley.

Was hoping for a few good news stories/announcements to come out of the Autosport show this weekend but that unfortunately doesn't seem to have happened unless I've missed something.

Graham retweeted that and I remember him mentioning a few days a go that a big team would be announcing a British GT programme which would be devastating to a major series.
Maybe Loeb back tracked and will take his McLarens to BritishGT? Would be odd.

I think it's something Oreca-related given who tweeted about the announcement. Loeb to BritGT would be very leftfield. More likely JRM.

A few things need to change before it can happen but I'd love to see the Prius in the mix somewhere. AsLMS is a good first step and the only place for now it is eligible.

Regional series (ALMS, ELMS, AsLMS) can add their own classes (e.g., GTC, GT3, LMPC, FLM). However, WEC seems to follow the standard Le Mans class structure.

Yet the article says
Quote:
Whilst no announcements have yet been made it seems likely that one or both of these cars will join the field at Fuji Speedway in September if not earlier. Indeed a second Toyota Prius could already be under construction for this purpose.
The GT300 cars could provide stiff opposition to the GTE field at Fuji Speedway, with the front running cars like the Prius able to match the lap times of the fastest cars in the WEC GTE category.
So they may be invited to run the WEC race in addition to doing AsLMS.

When you can't have a full-sized grid of Le Mans cars, you might as well make it up with some whacky racers. I'm all for it.

Wrong. Article says September. The WEC round at Fuji is on Oct 20, the race in September (Sept 22) is the Asian LMS round.

Indeed. And the title of the RCE article is "GT300 hybrids eye Asian Le Mans Series".

On the other hand, the Chinese WEC round did have GT3 cars in the past to fill the field

I wonder if some teams can re-engineer old GT300 cars by putting hybrid drivetrains, like the Vemac, the Shiden, and the Garaiya...

I'm aware of when the Fuji WEC round is, thanks. The article says they may be invited to take part in the future WEC. That's what I pointed out.

Mike Fuller tweeted yesterday that David Price has been spotted in Georgia (presumably with the ALMS folks). Anybody know what could be going on?
