    We saw the Lotus flying in the zero car in Ypres 2012 in the hands of Bernardo Sousa, was impressive, great sound as well.

    Did You find it impressive? I was actually disappointed with the car in Ypres. It was way too quiet and looked overall quite underpowered and bouncy.

    They were quick -although the times were not official of zero car- times were encouraging Sousa said, in that period nobody knew the project was about to be put in dustbin... If you are doing Ypres for the first time with new car in new GT spec I can imagine you get some bouncing ahead on Ypres stages.

    If I remember well, they were disappointed with the performance of the car and after Madeira they stopped the project.

    Being the pioneer of the GT class in rally, it was probably hard to know what to expect from the regulations, with regard to speed.

    But maybe now when you have a few homologated in the class, some private tuner could develop the Lotus further. It is a beautiful car, that many would love to see driven in anger in the GT class.

    A Ford Mustang RGT is being developed in Belgium: http://www.autonews-magazine.com/blog/?p=43333

    With my limited French I understand:
    - it should first be prepared according to belgian RGT rules, but with the FIA rules in mind, so that a FIA homologation should be easy later
    - it should be ready in September
    - it is developed by "Teamfloral", with Jean-Marc Valckenaere
