There seems to be a fair degree of pessimism about Miracle this year - although they do seem to have taken up their Le Mans slot.

Is there anything solid about their participation this year?

On the lmsr.net Sebring pictures appeared also the Lars Erik Nielsen Porsche RSR with a Farnbacher sticker on the front bumper, so we finally have also the rumoured Farnbacher entry.

There is an early report on the ALMS websitehere

Interestingly the intersport lola is initially quicker than both the Porsche Spyder and the Audi.

Cant see it staying that way though.

Edit - you beat me to it Bentley03!

They'll be back, full time. Question is, with what?
