Green and blue makes me hope it is somehow related to Pescarolo. Whatever it is it's always nice to see new Le Mans Prototypes.

I know this will probably sound stupid but that is a very Pescarolo-esque green haha I'm going to stay hopeful!

About 5 minutes after posting that the ALMS twitter account popped up on my timeline with links to the coverage on youtube!
Here are the links for anyone else wanting to watch.

No prob.
Btw, I was answering a request made by Rossington, meanwhile edited out not sure why. (fear of asking for something illegal?) I'll let my post stay and leave the matter to the mods but IMHO, if there is doubt about the legality of recording and reposting on Youtube these YT videos, let YT sort that one out. The way I see it ALMS has no problem with it (for years now) and YT doesn't also
PS - I'm talking ALMS, as we all know almost all F1 videos on YT end up deleted and, when posted here, after a while become dead links.
EDIT - LOL, that's why you removed the request! I was a bit miffled but my slow typing makes these things happen

Yeah I edited it again because I found the links, although by doing that I just caused more confusion ahaha

I was thinking Drayson Racing. About as much chance of me becoming a hedgehog than it being Drayson but reminds me of it when I saw a documentary presented by Tiff Needell.
My actual thought is possibly an Aston Martin LMP2. I have decided to begin watching the ELMS and the WEC next year through recorded streams of full-races as I am tired of the borefest that is F1. I now see why Mark Webber is going to do the WEC.

I don't know if it has been mentioned as I am trying to get back into following Endurance Racing and haven't followed this thread but Rebellion will switch to ORECA next year with the creation of the REBELLION-R ONE LMP and an updated RV8KLM engine. Looks good I think on the planetlemans.com website.
What will this mean for Lola? So far only Gulf Racing Middle East in the LMP2 class will be running with Lola chassis in 2014. But that could all change if they announce something.
Regarding Welter, does anyone know any more other than their plan to run an LMP1 car next year?

Was mentioned a long time ago. Also Lola don't exist anymore. They went out of business.

Really? That is a shame. One of the big names of endurance racing for me. I will miss seeing the name in the WEC and ELMS for what could be my first proper year following Endurance racing. How did it happen?

They were bought out by Multimatic. They've sold new chassis in Europe and America now if I'm not mistaken as per MWM. Lola got in a big stink over a court case with Tracy Krohn involving the Proto-Auto Lola Daytona Prototype chassis. Lola ended up losing the court case and rightfully so if you go through and read the deatils. That's not the only thing that caused their demise though
