Jaguar denies it is working on an LMP1 race car

Contrary to reports in mid-July, Jaguar has moved to deny speculation that it has been preparing to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a new sports-prototype race car. A spokesperson for the Indian-owned British manufacturer said the reports were "purely speculative."

Tata, Jaguar's parent company, has said in the past that Le Mans was in Jaguar's DNA, having won there on seven occasions, and that the brand would race there again one day. However, the spokesman added that such a project was not a priority at this time, adding that he is not aware of any discussion at the corporate-board level about any motorsports program other than the RSR team's GT2 initiative in the American Le Mans Series.
