I searched but didn't find anything, so sorry if this is a repost.

These guys have a webcast detailing their building of a Ford GTR that they intend to race in the 2008 24 Hours of Lemans in the GT1 class. All I have to say is about damn time, I don't know why its taken this long to get the new GT into LeMans. They aren't too far along yet but there is still some interesting stuff here. Looks like they are going to be using a lot of parts off their Daytona Prototype.

Oh and they are planning on debuting the car at the Petit Lemans this October. I hope it works out, it would be nice if they could give the Corvettes a run for their money and make GT1 more interesting.
 
I believe they will be entering it in the GT2 class initially, with plans to eventually move up to the GT1 class.

I'll admit that I'm partial to the Spyker in GT2, but when this car debuts, I will certainly be cheering for them. Hopefully, this project proves to be a success. With more competitive entries, GT2 just keeps getting better every year.
