Rumor has it that Tata will have one of it's premier brands running in ALMS GT2 in 2010.

Rocketsports Racing looks to be finishing up a deal to have a Jaguar back on track soon.

That is all I have on this now as my guy wouldn't tell me much.

When I first read that I thought, "Tata's going to be racing its Nano?!"

Great so is Paul Gentilozi (sp?) going to try and ruin this series as well? Seriously f*ck that cockhole, he ran a great series strait into the dirt and didn't stop.

And if they extend participation to sponsoring the series?

The Tata Cup?

Seriously, you don't want that, they could possibly let Paul Gentilozzi into management. Look at what he did to CART and Trans-Am.....most people cringe when they hear "Rocketsports" and "ALMS" in the same sentence. Let him into NASCAR or something, not ALMS.

It would almost have to be Jaguar and Gentilozzi is still involved with them, at least as of last fall.

On a related note, this car was on display at Sebring. It was completely bad ass!

Edit: Ha. The filter didn't like "Bob Costascat" in the link!! Here's a different one: http://www.eurocarblog.com/post/1471/jaguar-xf-r-350-kmh-on-bonneville-salt-flats

yea i saw that car at sebring along with top Bob Costascat gentilozzi. Cool car, not a cool guy, in my mind he has done no good for the sport, just my opinion though.

Can we call him "Paul Bob Costasilozzi?"

Funny that everyone is so harsh on old Bob Costaslozzi. Yes, he had no business in management of any series and yes he is a little full of himself, but in general he is a decent enough guy. Maybe not, I guess I am a little too close to the sources.
