I'm not sure if any still run, but I know there were a couple Corvette DPs built on Riley chassis.

Only Chip Ganassi's car is the one that's running and even then, its essentially a rolling engine test for the Ford GT GTLM.

I think the destroyed Gainsco car was the only Corvette Riley. Taylor uses a Dallara and the 3 other Corvette DP's are Coyote's.

Probably correct because before the upgrade in 2012(?) Gainsco had a Chevy (ex-Pontiac) Riley.
 
Double post...but new news has come in. :P The first confirmed sale of Adess LMP3 cars for Team AAI in the AsLMS. This thing is...interesting looking. :odd: I like the nose though.

Not bad, not bad. I like that the company is actually showing us something rather than just using vague promises. Still, they need to go that extra mile and actually showcase a real car as well as 3D images, but so far so good. I might get some flack for saying this, but I think it looks Marcos-ish from some angles. If they do make it into Le Mans, they will need some time to learn the ropes, but as Panoz pointed out, if a non-factory entry such as Riley can do well in GTE, so can these guys...

No freaking way. That's just...amazing. I didn't even know they were interested or even still around.

I remember it being posted a while back. I have reservations about the aerodynamic properties as well. A GT3 version was discussed as well.

Oh okay. Interesting choices by the FIA/ACO none the less. Oreca and Ligier I expected...Dallara and Riley are surprises to me though.

Dallara do worldwide projects. Believe they are involved with Porsche in P1. Riley is to keep Americans from being grumpy.

Awkward considering there are only two teams with a Riley that are still functioning...and the one is a one off for Daytona. The only Riley in the TUSCC is Ganassi. :P Dallara makes sense but is just surprising since they seem rather quiet on the LMP front (besides the Porsche).
 
Its Riley/Multimatic to be exact. So I would look for a developed version of the Mazda coupe to become the car.

...the Mazda is based off an old Lola. I understand that Multimatic own the rights to Lola but it'd be more than an upgraded Lola.

Bring it.

So will the S103 become a LMP1 due to the circunstances that befell the LMP2 class? Well, if that means Dome will go back to being an Essence LMP1 car, then so be it. One more Essence team (one that knows what it's doing in this category) will at least boost the numbers of non-HY LMP1 cars. Unless Dome actually wants to go down that path...
 
This news hypes me up so much! I love the S103 and was bummed that it won't be able to compete in the future, so that's awesome.
