Hindery then decided to take his money elsewhere, and the remaining members of Orbit have spent the last couple of years in IMSA GT3 Cup and I think Grand Am GT. It'd be great to have them back in the series, they were my favorite Porsche team pre-Flying Lizards.
Here's a pic of the livery they ran in 2002, perhaps you'll recognize it.  |
I think Hindery backed BAM, when the split from Orbit came. As I recall, when they ran Le Mans in this livery, or very similar, it was Leo's last race as a driver. IIRC, again, that was also the last year BAM raced. I could be slightly off, chronologically.
