    glad to see Jag back in racing. From what I understand this started when they were still owned by Ford; hopefully Tata sees the value.

    IIRC, Gentilozzi's wealth comes from commercial real estate in Michigan; anyone know how he's doing?

    Fantastic looking car. Lets hope there is an entry for Le Mans next year.

    Car did not race at Petit - only a couple demo laps - don't hold your breath for Laguna even if though they show on the entry list.This car has been the topic much discussion throughout the year on many forums.

    Car looks very sluggish and the wing looks out of place with the copy-cat swan neck wing from Audi and Acura.

    I've seen Jags in the SuperStars series at the Algarve this year, they spent more time being worked on than all the others. Livery in the SuperStars is very much similar with the cat outline on the car.

    May-be so, but it would be good to see them return. More manufacturers in GT2 OK by me

    I saw the car at Petit and think it looks like a slug slapped together with spare parts from PG's Trans Am days.

    I give it a 20% chance of seeing the grid, although I heard JJ Lehto and Johnny Herbert have been signed to drive! I'll believe its for real when it takes the green flag at Sebring...how quickly we forget the infamous multiple RS Spyder debacle of Al Solaroli.

    was that the chassis that swapped a mustang body for a jag body when needed?
