Sorry about the frog lingo, but you get the gist.

You can't fault Rebellion for effort, can you?

They are a team I would love to see do well. Hopefully they will be able spring a surprise or two over the year.

Good news - certainly easy to spot the cars with the livery they ran last year!

Might be the beginning of a full factory backed Toyota team? Let's hope so, they can sure use some good race results to make people forget about theyre F1 adventure!
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

Let's hope so. Who will forget these cars. I still say that if Shinji Nakano hadn't suffered a blowout whilst chasing down the Beemer in 1999 he would have won the race.

Very good save by him, felt at the time he was robbed and they should have won, but to finish first etc etc

btw That BMW looks so dated now, but the GTone still looks current awesome car.

Agreed. 
Although it's still behind the Bentley, the Silk Cut Jag and the Porsche 911 GT1 (98?) for me....
It's still a stunning car though - saw it at the FOS a few years back - looked as fresh as a daisy.

It sure was 98 Bradders. McNish's first win. I believe that the car is in the museum at LM. I loved the GT 90's, So much better looking than most of the soulless LMP1 cars that came later.

Definately, LM sportscars look so much better with a roof on.
