(Other than the ad on their site) | I'm still pretty confident they will be back next season. Lord Drayson has made many comments recently about how his new position of science goes nicely with his GT racing career as they are quite completmentary.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Charouz with an AMR chassis. Charouz are apparently going to be unveiling a "surprise" soon. | |

RML will no longer be running with MG power. They have announced that they will be running the MZR-R lump in their Lola B08/80 for at least the next 2 years.  here

Hmm, during the Michelin tire test at Estoril last week it seems that Henri was doing a little extra testing. In the back of the P-2 a V-8 BMW M3 (Sodemo?) lump was providing power for the car. here

Do you think that says anything? or has Porsche maybe taken the cars back, and entered them in the test themselves. | |

Obviously they weren't being run by Penske Horndawg but still may have had the livery due to sponsorship agreements not yet having expired. | |
