4 running Nissan engines I see.   Do I assume these are rebranded AIMs?

Nope they are based on the engine Nissan uses/used in SuperGT and are build/maintained/supported at the track by Zytek.

Is it me or is the entry list looking remarkably stable this year?  Maybe the ACO have actually got their invitations right for a change?

Kiss of death on that then ;D

Last year, with the credit crunch etc, a lot of sponsors pulled their budgets.  Look at what happened to Henri P, you would have thought that impossible

At least this year the teams know what cash they have, so aren't dropping out, and gladly its a full grid with reserves - could be stronger though.

Well I've not heard any news whatsoever of the GT2 Lotus, no testing news, no pics, nothing....

Jet Alliance tested the Lotus on friday and all went well. They still plan to have both cars ready for the test weekend.

Do you know, I reckon the Jet Alliance livery has looked great on every car they've run.  Smashing. :)

I wonder what the definition of "went well" is for a Lotus test?  Did it do a couple of laps without breaking down or something falling off I wonder?
