Don't get your hopes up. Hans Reiter said the following in an interview with EI
Quote:
|
"We have a client who is interested to running the car at Le Mans, but honestly I do not think it will happen. It would take a lot of resources to make evolutions to the car to make it more competitive. I think we should be clear and in the medium term, GT2 will be replaced by GT3. A GT2 will soon cost as much as a GT1 and the economic situation is far from good."

Is that a new nose and rear on the Lola?
https://twitter.com/#!/dsceuroeditor.../photo/1/large
Anyone know the total number of cars sold by Lola, HPD, ORECA, OAK and Zytek in the last twelve months.
This winter I can think of -
Lola - 2x Dyson, 2x Gulf, 1x Status, 2x Jet Alliance?, 1x Dempsey?, 1x Black Swan?
HPD - 1x Strakka, 1x JRM, 1x Muscle Milk, 2x Level 5
Zytek - 2x Greaves
ORECA - 2x Docking, 1x Pecom
OAK - 1 x Conquest, 1x HK Technik, ?x factory
ORECA of course sold a few cars last season, I believe Signatech alone have three chassis, Zytek are also strong on the engine front with their Nissan partnership.

Really hope they get the entry.

Here's hoping, a Lambo at Le Mans would be fantastic.
