It's not stated in the article, but I'm assuming GT.

GT itself should get interesting as a lot of ALMS teams are going back do to cost.

I was running an elise track car for the last three year excellant car, very delicate chassis, kurt wrghtman at hypersport is no stranger to lotus cars and he knows his stuff, car should turn,brakes and handle like a much more expensive gt prototype car.

cool.........I raced against the Esprits in 2000, and always thought they were cool cars. I'm not as big a fan of the little cars, but I'm sure they will be fast.
