Matech racing out of Switzerland have been racing a GT in FIA GT3 and have already won a race in Bucharest.

Its nothing to do with Lotus though Brian.

will we ever see outright wins by a production based vehicle as in the Big Mac era? where were the prototypes then?

[Brian Skeoch]

cool... very true, but Murry was a factory Lotus driver and won a couple races in the X180 R back in the 90's.

thats the only affiliation . since he is sn exe factory driver I try to keep up with what those guys are doing.

Pilgrim and Murry are the only former factory Lotus drivers in the US that are still racing.

the team heads to Sebring tonight for a 6 hr endurance race this weekend at Sebring which is a Porsche BMW track event.

this will be a great long shake down run for the team.

I will let everyone know how they go.
