My company is interested in getting involved with GT1 raciing. It would be great if you would provide us some feedback on your experiences or following of American LeMans and how we can get involved with sponsorship or a new Camaro or even a whole new team.
All the best,

Hi Jim,
First things first. GT1 (in the US) is almost dead, the GT2 class is where everyone is racing, as well the factory backed Corvettes have gone to that class. In Europe the FIA GT Championship will all but replace GT1 for LeMans and so forth there as well. Also the Camaro unfortunately would be far outclassed in GT1 if that class even still existed. Either way if it was around it would be a poor place to start for someone new, as well as a poor place for the Camaro to run against cars like the Aston DBR9 and Maserati MC12.
So I am assuming you are looking to sponsor a team. Man I wish you were around about 3 years ago when I still had a current competition license and was looking for sponsorship. Its REALLY tough out there for young drivers. At this point I have not heard of anyone running GT2 with the Camaro, probably because the Corvette, Ferrari, and Porsche are all such viable and established options in that class. I'm sure it can be done, but at this point I believe Grand Am Koni Challenge is the only place with Camaro based teams for next year. Either way you would best be served contacting the sanctioning bodies

They can point you in the right direction of teams that have petitioned for entry to the 2010 Season running a Camaro. Good luck and let me know if I can help any further.
