Saleen / Allen Speedlab will use the first few weeks of the New Year to concentrate on “the development and testing of the S7R to insure a more competitive product for future customers.” But the mid-engined GTS car will make its Daytona debut in February, in the hands of Paul Gentilozzi’s Rocketsports Racing operation.
“The opportunity to compete in the jewel of endurance racing in a truly innovative race car was too much to pass up,” remarked Gentilozzi. “The Saleen S7R has set a new standard for its class and deserves a win. We intend to be part of that first victory.”
Saleen / Allen Speedlab will enter two S7Rs in the entire ALMS, plus Le Mans. RML have already announced their plans to compete in the Privilege Championship, plus the French classic, running as Ecurie Ecosse.
Steve Saleen is hoping to announce plans for another customer to run a car in the 2001 Grand-Am Championship.
The company’s latest press release states that “the ACO, ALMS, FIA and Grand-Am have all approved the racecar’s design and Saleen hopes that customer cars will be competing in each of the series this year.”
