I read in Autosport that the Lotus Elise of GKR Racing ( no. 88 cup class car in BGT ) is not running at the final round at Brands Hatch ?

Also I see the Noble has been sold to an austrailian team.

Can anyone confirm this ?

If it's true, what a shame it has been a strong class with the championshop going up to the final race so far this year.

The Noble has been sold to a Californian buyer and won't be at Brands in the dsc.com Cup. As far as i'm aware though, the Lotus will be there racing - the quote you're referring to I think is Barrie saying the championship was over for them - That's true, they can't win it but I feel they'll be out to prove a point or two in Kent!

Mmmm I am 99% sure I read " were not racing at Brands Hatch ? "

I hope they do as Brands would suit their car perfectly, and I wouldnt be amazed to see the car near the front row of the grid overall!

No, what you read was; "We were put a lap down for something outside of our control. It's the end fo the championship for us," meaning they can't win the Cup Class championship.

The bit you read about not doing Brands was the Noble story.
I quote, "Rollentre Racing's British Gt Cup Class Noble M12 is likely to miss the final round at Brands Hatch,"

OK, thanks for clearing that up, I left my Autosport magasine at the motorway services on the M6 !
