..it will be good to see a British Team racing in a car with the MG badge on it 

Nice that it's all happening in the year the MGB turns 50 years old.

Good to see but the colour scheme looks like an explosion in a paint factory

MG also supported supported RLR in the European Le Mans Series last year, in an MG Lola EX265 which was built for the original MG back in 2003.

MGB-ugh. This car was an MGA chassis with a monocoque shell welded to it so was too heavy to start with despite having a slightly larger but still anaemic engine,and remained under-developed all its life.As an example the Volvo 1800cc engine had identical bore and stroke yet in production form produced way may power than the B engine and is regularly raced with 190bhp-how much can the B series be persuaded to produce ,140bhp or so.
