Sad. Porsche announced end of 997 RSR, and end of partnership with Flying Lizard.

Sad because the 997 RSR was so incredibly good. and successful. And, they have a one year gap between the 997 and the 991 RSR, so a great development partner like FLMS is left to either flog the old car another year, or go with another manufacturer.
The line about ending the partnership seemed really abrupt, so I would gather they do not have a deal on the 2014 991RSR development, and that we might see Flying Lizard logos on the side of a Corvette in 2013. |

I agree, I'm a big Flying Lizard fan but struggle to keep up with ALMS news... so thanks for the heads up! Though I'm an equal fan of the C6R team, so it will be interesting to see what developments occur in the next 2 years! |
