Corvette Racing vs Privateer ("Pissing into the Wind")

[Steve85]

Cliffs notes?

Basically when GM decided to go racing in GT2 they didn't allow the cars LG bought through Riley to be homologated (approved) by the sanctioning body and GM supposedly blocked Michelin, who has a lucrative OEM supplier contract with GM, from supplying tires for LG.

The tire issue will be an interesting argument, I believe LG could have gotten the tires if he were to buy Pratt&Miller cars. That the exclusivity deal was set-up that way to possibly provide the legal loophole? This would have certainly come with a lot of sacrifices though...no way GM would allow P&M to supply anything but a spec car or participate in active development of an LG car.

I agree G, I think there could be some unintended consequences, I hope for the more fair ending. I am sure there are plenty of people out there that could clean Patrick Dempseys clock that never get the chance because sponsors see the OEMs dominating in a series and start counting their ROI beans.
