I also hope that is not the final livery as it is bland to say the least. But the RLR 997 was not any better in the livery dept.

If they hope to be competitive on the Dunlops that will require some $$$ to develop so perhaps that will feature on the car? | |

|  BMW Rahal Letterman Racing finalizes driver line-up
So it will be Auberlen, Hand and Müller, Milner paired as primary drivers. I hope we get to see Boris as a 3rd seat driver with maybe Priaulx as the other. Here

Seems that these have been homologated as GT-2 and not GT-2S. Great, maybe we will see RLR at Le Mans with them. (?)

Disappointing to see only 1 BMW entered for Sebring so far. As others on the 'net have been saying BMW seems to have been spending a lot on testing so why not run 2 cars? Even if only for the big races. | |

Well there is a need to run the car in testing for both the car and drivers! This is still a brand new car and it has been recently adjusted to meet its homologation requirements for the ACO. So what little they did know no longer applies fully. I also am bummed about not having both cars on the grid, but the testing at this point is a very important to the program. Sponsor money is a little, or a lot, hard to come by in the current economic climate. Frankly, I am glad to see the project take the grid at all! Hopefully things will be different in the not so distant future and we will come back to the level of last year. No not rosey glasses, just the belief that it will get better. Just a matter of when!!
