And What About the CET Solari RS Spyder? Update 1 and News on Other RS Spyders
In the wonderful wide world of sportscar and gt racing, Waddle has come up with some more information on this subject. Some of it is updates, and some more beloved speculation. The update is loosely related, which is that it has been leaked that there will be at least two new two car teams running RS Spyders next year. Both these teams have supposedly run IRL teams before, which really narrows down the teams that it could be. Waddle strongly believes that one of these teams will be Red Bull Racing which would perfectly fit the model that we have leaned of. This would eliminate them as being one of the potential customers of the CET Solari RS Spyder, because they will probably just buy two all-new cars. This means that the CET Solari car is still out for sale, but Waddle is almost sure we will see it next year in the ALMS. This bring the total number of RS Spyders on the grids next year that we know about to eleven car. The Empire truly has struck back.

News From Silverstone
Today at Silverstone, there were two big announcements that will probably have a greater impact on sports car racing than the race there, the Silverstone 1000k. First Embassy Racing made their big announcement about what they will do for next season after they made the very bold remark about them competing for the win each time. They will build their very own prototype, though it will not be started from scratch. It will be a continuation of the Radical SR-9, which is the car that they race now. The head designer from the SR-9 project was also the chief designer and engineer for this new prototype. It will be called the WF-01, and use a Zytek engine. The second big announcement was that Oreca the team that has done so well with their Saleen S-7Rs has bought out Courage Competition. It is unclear they will operate together if Oreca continues to use the Saleens. Speculation from Waddle on what will become of these situations is soon to come.
