This sounds like the reserection of a project that James Crofts and myself were involved in back in 2003.
Good luck to the Walklett's in getting it going.
How are you connected? Have you now decided on the Trident then?
Was orginally pulled into the Dare porject through James in 2003 put when the Dare project fell down due to lack of Finance the Trident thing came about as result of a chance meeting with Phil who owns Trident at Snetterton in 2004.
if it goes anything like it sounds it's going to be awesome!! followed it round rockingham last year and it sounded amazing.....

It's true!! The worst kept "secret" in motor racing, will come as no surprise to those who visited the GT paddock of 2005 Richmond Racing unveiled their GT challenger, based around the successful G20 chassis.
The team have been busy fine tuning their GT car, working on power, aero and braking in particular.
Whilst the project may seem to lend itself easily to all the classic cliches, "flash in the pan" and so on, the team have been working seriously over the past five seasons to eventually achieve this goal. Even though they've taken five seasons to reach this point, they know that there's still a lot of simple hard graft to do.
Team boss, Richard Hollebon, commented "Whilst many outside the team may view the choice of a Ginetta as a foregone conclusion, we did in fact research many avenues, but again and again the answers pointed towards a Ginetta to challenge for GT honours. The team, from the drivers, to the mechanics and all of the backroom staff have been immersing themselves in higher and higher categories of motorsport. We're under no illusion that this year is going to be easy, but we feel we have done a large amount of work as a team to give ourselves a real opportunity."
Indeed, the team will still be involved with the G20 Cup, as they continue to support driver Duncan Gass in his quest for racing honours and experience.

Yep the driver lineup is Richard Hollebon and Nick Marsh.
Richard has raced in a number of championships, with the most experience
of racing Ginetta's (G27s --> G20s) of anyone. He joined the Ginetta
Championship in it's first season and has raced Ginetta's ever since.
Latterly he raced in a G27 with G20 underpinnings, but larger engine
in the Europa Championship (which turned in to the K&N filters championship).
Nick has raced in G20s ever since they started and has continued to race
in varied machinery, including a race at last year's Le Mans - although
this was in the support race, not the 24hrs!
Both drivers are quick.
