Has the team disbanded...I understood they had no plans last year but were led to believe they would return with a new car/manufacturer this season. Any thoughts?

Last I heard they're not doing anything, lots of the mechanics are cropping up in all sorts of different championships. I think Sam Li (Team owner) still manages Jamie Davies.....
Shame really, they came from nowhere, did really well and then disappeared. I remember Sam Li had a mouthwatering collection of cars too.

Shame about that they were running a couple of Ferrari 360's in the FIA GT's a couple years back.

Not forgetting, of course, almost winning Le Mans in 2004 with the Audi R8 driven by Herbert, Davies and Smith.

To my knowledge:

In no particular order Enzo, F40, F50, M5, M3, X5, Bentley (assorted) they are the ones I spotted him driving. Last time I spoke to Sam pre Le Mans he was talking of racing some of his collection in historic once they became eligible!!! Not strictly true to say the team came from nowhere they did have a successful British GT campaign for a couple of years then a two car Ferrari team at LM before the Audi year.

Agreed, but did they do anything before British Gt's? Can't remember if the ran a car in Maranello challenge or something similar...Whatever they did, they always came over as a well presented team.

Did Sam Li own the Piolt sponsored Le Mans F40 too?
