Another Saleen topic from me(which I stole) - The Race Forums - A Social Network for Fans of the American Le Mans

Was posted on ALMS forums, thought I would do the honors of putting it here. (Thanks to Dyson Porsche)

SMS Limited: Steve Saleen announces new supercar brand - Autoblog

" Mr. Saleen continues, "Sportscar racing enthusiasts will be excited about the upcoming announcement of our return to racing in the American LeMans Series. You will hear more about that very soon." "

Also a mention on the main site in the manufacturers section(under "competition") of them returning to GT1 this year.. ??

*Not sure if this should be put into rumors*

I've read a few articles on the upcoming new Saleen car which will debut in April at the NY Auto Show. I'd think they'd be leaning more towards a GT2 than a GT1 with this new car.

Shame-GT1 needs new cars to remain a viable class-the Saleen S7 and Lamborghini Murcielago are the only true GT1 cars currently in production (Vipers, Vettes, AMs can run either GT1 or 2... it's important for newer fans to be able to understand the car/class differences...)
