Morgan enter GTO

Aero 8 heading for Privilege British GT Championship and Le Mans

Sorry, but it looks like it should be in the Wacky Races, not the GT's...

It'll be interesting to see how it performs though. Decent bit of engineering gone into it.

Not sure how the chassis will cope with any damage though. Compared to the tub/spaceframe construction, the construction of the car is vastly different (assuming its based on the same chassis as the road cars).

It'll be good for the breed. It was only when they went racing that Morgan realised sliding pillar suspension was a bad idea.

Interesting that they preferred this over a Tuscan R though.

Not so sure about the aerodynamics though R...

Ted,

I'll see you at the karting on saturday...ask me about the morgan GT then.Very interested by your @a lot of decent engineering' comment.

[Roy C]

It may be a cross-eyed Morgan but at least they're taking part.
Anyone know how many Tuscan's are in the GT series?

[PetrolTed]

Shorty and I believe Eclipse Motorsport are running one. The De Walt Tuscan has been spotted for sale...

[adrianr]

Well, there's Ted's list:

but you can never tell until the first grid. If you want to keep up with the rumours try the fledgling www.dailysportscar.com, but do it today as they go subscription only soon!

I spoke to John Griffiths and the Eclipse car should start testing soon.
