  • Why Not American Le Mans and Spyker

    If North America is so important for Spykers future, how come Spyker is not in the ALMS? Just wondering? No F1, ALMS could be a perfect fit?

    The reason is simple, Budget. To run a competitive GT2 effort would require between 4 and 5 million per year. To try to get a sponsor in this economy is extremely difficult to say the least.

      The Spyker Squadron did some ALMS races in the past, but not a full season. Why? The team is based in Europe (inside the factory), so it is much cheaper to race in Europe than in North America.

      We need to find an American team that wants to buy a C8 Laviolette GT2R. The factory will be happy to support them (I guess).

        If they pay for that support, of course
