    New 2 car Saleen team for FIA GT

    It looks as if there will be a very nice grid of GT1 cars for the 2007 FIA GT season:

    The Zakspeed Saleen showed excellent speed last year. The Saleen has far from reached it's 'sell by' date...

    Obviously these are the ex ACEMCO Saleens. So Zakspeed Saleen is still up for grabs. Saleen is my favourite GT1 car so I'm very very happy to see two of them in both FIA GT and the LMS.

    Btw, what the heck is Citation Cup? Hasn't FIA GT organisers gone a bit too far with GT3, GT4, Citation Cup..? What's next, GT17?

    I don't know anything about the recent dealings with the Mardi Gras team that are referred to above, but from what I've read elsewhere, the guy behind this Saleen project seems to have a bit of a reputation- highlights I've seen elsewhere mentioned a pay-drive with the Graham Nash Saleen team at the 2005 Silverstone LMS round, for which he didn't turn up, and a non-existent ChampCar team with big-money backing from Sunoco,

    It seems to have been met by pretty widespread scepticism....

    The Citation cup was announced by Ratel earlier this month- it's a category for non-professional drivers running in GT1.
