I'm just watching Sebring on the goggle box at the moment, is there any chance that the Doran GT 40 GT2 car will make it to LM? Looks bloody good tho apparently down on power :)

I think during the Speed TV telecast they mentioned there could be a couple more teams would entering the Ford this summer, it looked good, but probably needs a top team to develope it into a real threat. Robertson Racing are some good guys, but hardly a top equipe.
It would be a good job for Roush Racing if the Cat in the Hat (Jack Roush) could be persuaded.

Tell you what it would be tres cool to see a few ford GT's really mixing it, it did look like the car was good in the twisty stuff but a bit down on power, hopefully a good team will see the potential and fly the Ford flag again at LM again (real Ford that is!)

I spoke to one of the Robertson team members, they were one of the first teams to arrive and he stopped by the campsite on the way in, they didn't even have the car in the truck. There was a delay and delivery was not made until Tuesday, I believe. So really not a bad showing with not much practice time and only one real driver.

That car is awesome to see and hear on track, almost as much noise at the vettes. Yes, I went to Sebring :P

I loved the sounds of the Ford, but they have a lot of work to do in terms of speed. Still though, nice effort for the first time out. Don't forget, Sebring is a very tough track.
