WR back in 08 with Zytek power in their new WR LMP 2008 chassis.

Since there is not much about this series to say at the moment I will put this in here as it does possibly tie-in with the LMS.

JLMC to be canned by ACO.(?) New Asian series to start in 09 with the 08 LMS Shanghai race to be the promo-race? link

Kinda seems to me though, that being that Embassy is a British team, just about everywhere is in one way or another, an "overseas test". It would be great to have them at Sebring though!

According to DSC, Team LNT will take a "sabbatical" from running Panoz in the LMS in 08 as they won't run them if they can't be competitive.

The article also states that LNT would like to forge a "long-term relationship with a company that makes British engines" (Zytek).

So is it safe to assume that LNT will drop Panoz for LMP2 Zyteks?

Things are looking pretty glim for Panoz right now. It's looking like LNT won't run them, I'd say it's doubtful Chad Peninsula will either as they have a huge racing program in place already, and the Robertsons switched to Ford. So from the looks of it, PTG is our only hope to have Panoz on the grid this year, unless another team comes in and buys one.

“This does not affect our commitment or relationship with Panoz” states Richard Dean, about running the Zytek at Silverstone.

I guess it does huh Richard??

Just like Alex Rodriguez went to the Texas Ranger's to win...right?
