Mosler is Ready

Rollcentre ready to do battle in this year's GT series

---

	Rollcentre's Mosler GT car is now almost fully liveried in readiness for this week's launch of the British GT series. Once again Martin Short has secured sponsorship from Xavex, Mole Valley TVR/Noble, Claire Hilton and Veryplast. Short's co driver will be Tom Herridge and they've been testing extensively over the last few weeks fine tuning their suspension and tyre choices. The Rollcentre team has also been assisting Balfe Motorsport with their Mosler which will also race this year. Link: www.rollcentre.com

The color scheme looks fantastic. Good luck for the forthcoming season.

Cool! A local team confirmed for the championship. Reason enough, if any were needed, to root for them.

Shame they gave up on the Cerbera...
though I prefer these colours.

Does anybody know if its a GT or a GTO car?

Not sure if its a saleen rival or secretly slipping in to the GTO class to be racing the 911's and Tuscan R's.

It should be in GTO. It may look a bit like a Saleen but it isn't quite.

Its very nice but are they not running 2 cars I thought??? It will be one to watch I believe for the championship now having the GT and the GTO racing in the same class.
Good luck anyway chaps

am i being thick but what was wrong with the tuscan R they ran last season??

[rollcentre]

Hi Folks

There was nothing wrong with the Tuscan R, but I had a contract with TVR for 2 years, and it was up, and with nothing further on the table at the time, I looked around and found these fabulous machines in the States.
Corvette C5 engine, and for the same price as a Tuscan R , and less than a Porsche, and a third of the price of a Saleen. Its got the looks, but its really simple in design and construction.
And this car has completed 51 hours and 5 minutes of racing since we got it over 4 races, with 4 finishes and 2 podiums.....
And now we have got it back in England we have been working hard on development, which is what my boys are good at, and the car is now showing cracking form. Roll on April 6th!
And we are running another car for Shaun Balfe, also for British GTO, same colour scheme, but in red.
Bert has got our old R, and I am sure he will enjoy his first steps into GT racing.

If you take a look on DailySportscar.com you can see an image of the other Mosler on there. I'm as yet undecided which colour scheme I like the best! I just like the car!

If it goes as well as it looks, You are on a winner.
Good luck for season 2003.
