Why not? Two of the most successful British sports car manufacturers - one of whom is probably unsurpassed in the provision of customer chassis for nearly 50 years, the other a thoroughbred mainstream sportcar brand with a fairly decent racing heritage.

I sure would like to see them beat Audi. I could totally back that LMP1 entry more than Peugeot or Audi.

Audi have got a little tedious in the last decade. Shame no other manufacturers have really shown such a prolonged interest.

Peugeot - well they're just trying to win Le Man again with yet another ugly car. IIRC Jean Todt (oooo, not him) was responsible for the last one!
