    I don't think it's officially announced, but Spyker will be running the GT2 class in ALMS. They will also run 2 cars at LeMans. One car run by the American drivers, the other run by the European drivers. Which I guess means they'lll run the LMS overseas as well. It sounds like they also want to run customer cars starting in 2009. They're still working on driver line-ups now.

    That's all the info I have now.

    GT2 entries for ALMS in '08 are: Gigliotti with (2) C-6's; the Viper back; Doran with a Ford GT (hope he still runs the MC-12 assuming there's a GT1 class).

    The Spyker is already a participant in the LeMans Series in Europe. Peter Kox and Jerek Janis drive for the Spyker Squadron - we saw them in the race at Monza in April. I posted photos with them in a couple of them.

    Like I said, I don't think it's been anounced. I've got a friend who's been offered a seat with them, so the info's accurate.

    Spyker will do just as poorly in GT2 as they did in F1.....OK, not quite....
