Looks nice time will tell if it is quicker but expect it is better.

God forbid

Or Players fags.  Do they still exist?  The JPS black and gold always looked good.

We may have to resort to JPC

Sebah according to their website will run a 2 car RS Spyder effort in the LMS and Le Mans and Penske will continue in the ALMS. Roger has a guaranteed entry into Le Mans but at the current time doesn't appear too keen to come across the pond. May'be he has Dyson syndrome.

Sebah are sponsored by Scalextrix amongst others, could be an interesting livery.

Autosport are reporting that Team Modena, Barazi and ASM are all in the running to purchase an RS Spyder for the LMS. It makes sense since these teams are all financed by wealthy car collectors. I think Barazi and Miguel Amaral both own 917's.
