Rollcentre racing/ Martin Short
Discussion
They didn't run in LMS or at Le Mans this year, the prototype project wasn't run this year.
However, they have been concentrating on European racing with the Mosler and doing very well too, in Dutch Supercar Challenge (where there's a Mosler Challenge) and in Spanish GT, where Mosler's have done very well for a number of years now.
I saw Martin a couple of weeks ago and he was in good form. Definately not stopped racing!

Shorty's website is awful, but the Mosler UK one is very good.
As Adam said, they're still out there and getting results with Moslers - DSC, Britcar BGT (sore point...), VdeV and International GT Open this year.
Mosler sales have seen a resurgence too, with cars sold to Oz (4) and Asia as well as more orders for Europe.
All is well, but there simply isn't the budget to fund a very expensive prototype campaign.

Always thought their results in LMP1 with the Dallara were amazing considering the scale of the team. Must admit to wondering what SRO were thinking by banning them halfway through last year, given BGT's lack of entries and Rollcentre's support of the series. Not sure of the politics but (I realise it was in the Invitation Class) to allow the G50Z to race and ban the Mosler seemed very strange to me...
SRO didn't ban the car, the MSA did, they rejected the offer to run in invitation as well. It was a real shame, the car was well prepared and doing well in the championship.
It has been effectively banned for 2010 however as it doesn't fit with the new regulations. Same goes for the super quick G50Z.

that's not really the whole story is it...Basically, SRO encouraged them to enter the championship, but failed to actually make sure they had worded the regs to match the status of the cars.
to be fair to MSA, they had no choice, (shame they seem selective when they bother to take action though...)
