Buying a car company is the cheapest part of the deal!  It might be £10 for Rover or £450mil for AML, but the principle is the same,  you still need another god knows how many hundreds of millions to keep it going and develop new models.  AML has had many owners through out its history with most of them ending up pennyless!  I can't see that Prodrive could fund either the purchase or the ongoing requirements, but I could see them being the partner to someone or some corporation with deep pockets!  I just hope that whoever ends up buying AML doesn't think they can make a lot of money out of it, cos untill recently AML had never made any money in its entire history!  Still only time will tell!!!!

Will the reviews be moderated I ask?   

If not how long before the site gets sued for some slanderous comments written by a disgruntled customer?

The badge?

So who are Corvette gonna defend their crown against?

AMR have been very quiet, and the rumour mills suggests that they won't be going back.

The reason the Chinese aren't using the Rover name is that it's now owned by Ford!
Asset strip TVR , I doubt that there were any assets to strip, in fact from what I hear I think it was the Russion who got asset stripped when he paid cash for the company!

But surely this is just a list of those teams/cars that have qualified for an entry based upon 2006 results, and not a definitive list of the first accepted entries?

Well,  as Le Mans Series is the correct title of the European version and Peugeot have already commited to it for 2007, who know's!

Fran,
We are going to Toronto next year for family reasons and originally we were going to go to Mosport Park only as its about 60miles or so away, but with the Detroit race being only a week later we thought we'd throw that into the melting pot too!

I agree it sounds like we are doing a lot of Sports car races but the two ALMS ones make sense when we are in the neighbourhood anyway,  and Silverstone isn't too far from home so it's a regular haunt for us.  And none of us want to miss the BIG ONE!

I could tell you my source, Termietermite, but then I would have to kill you...
But those are the dates I have.....

Fran, you should get back a day earlier!  We'll by flying in from Toronto on the Saturday morning of the Britcar 24hr's (So it'll be Gatwick, Home, Silverstone!) having been to Mosport and Detroit ALMS races!

Provisional Silverstone date is 15/16 Sept, ie a week after the Britcar 24hr race!

Play.com have it for £5.99 - delivered.

Looks like it's the film made by the crew that were following (and getting in the way of) Martin Short and his Rollcentre team this year.

If it is then it should be great to watch.

How do you know Uk gets last race of season?  The list of countries is in alphabetical order, as indeed it is on the LMS website, but with England rather than UK!

Just checked the LD ferry price - Car +2 out on the wednesday before back on the monday after, with a cabin all for £134!  Get booking guys before they realise..... www.aferry.to

Must have been a different location to me then,  I was at Fogarties for Qualifying for the LMS race and hadn't got a clue what was going on untill the last car had gone by at which point the commentator said "and in last place on the grid......"

Actually found a spot at Silverstone last weekend where I could hear the loadspeakers!   Exit of Club they are very good!

Anyway for what it's worth I too think they should keep the series to 5 races, Endurance cars are very expensive to run and if they series is expanded I would expect a few teams to drop out,  I heard  somewhere that Monza was back on for next year, but can't remember if that was FIA GT's or LMS!
