LMS Round 1 - HTTT Paul Ricard - 2/3 April 2011

Coach Ep · 27 Feb 2011, 09:01 (Ref:2837399)

Here's the timetable (no Friday shown although it is a 3-days event).

vyselegend · 27 Feb 2011, 09:59 (Ref:2837413)

I'll probably hit the track saturday noon, as I have family to see before. Hope I'll get there in time for Qualy...

I won't complain too much (at least we're not spoiled from a full day like those going to Spa), but generaly I'm disapointed by the organisation. Tickets are 5 euros more expensive than last year, yet the race is two hours shorter, and entry level is sinificantly reduced, though admitedly it's not something local organisers could prevent.

I still hope for a good race, looking forward to how fast those Toyota powered Rebellions will look, and glad to see a Pescarollo too. Still waiting for the entry list, with some late minutes additions?

The AMR-One is expected to test for the first time in early March.

Yay!

I didn't even dare to hope about such quality addition when I was raindancing for some surprise entry! Now I have at least one big reason to get exited (and double-check my camera's status before leaving to the track).
Bring on april! (erm, let's watch Sebring first...)

Thank you Chiana, your post really made my day!

There was a note on DSC a few days back that Qatar-based team FUA Racing planned a 'limited' LMS season in FLM, and were expected to be at the forthcoming LMS test.

Another possible addition to the entry list for Ricard?

Mal · 4 Mar 2011, 06:17 (Ref:2839986)

It appears this race will be shown live and in full on Motors TV

Victor_RO · 20 Mar 2011, 21:21 (Ref:2850242)

39 cars on the provisional entry list. http://www.endurance-info.com/2011_L..._HTTT_Race.pdf

The new Aston has Primat/Mucke/Turner behind the wheel
Rangoni Motorsport now entered under the MIK Corse banner
AF Corse really serious about a win, Fisichella/Bruni and Melo/Vilander.. 5 new Ferraris vs. 4 Porsches and 2 Astons
No Kronos Lola-AM

cmk · 20 Mar 2011, 21:42 (Ref:2850253)

Probably the two AF Corse 458s are in aid of development for the new beast. What better way to do it than to send the factory hordes out at Ricard...

Joe Taylor · 20 Mar 2011, 23:45 (Ref:2850309)

I thought Guess Racing Europe were entering an open top Mazda rather than a coupé Judd. Is this a mistake on the entry or a change of plans?

I had thought the same . If its correct , its possibily one of the Racing Box /Mik cars , updated , as they seem to be running a Zytek/Hybrid now ?

Ive seen an entry list (below) that says that Guess will race 2 chassis , one a coupe with Judd power and the other an 05 with Mazda power .

eizox · 21 Mar 2011, 18:55 (Ref:2850738)

is it worth noting that the aston for paul ricard is numbered 009? im wondering if this implies a full season entry for the 009, as they've announced that they're gonna run 2 cars at spa, and i think its pretty much dead cert that they're gonna have 2 cars at silverstone, so its only Imola and Estoril they'd need to additionally enter

rich07 · 21 Mar 2011, 23:55 (Ref:2850894)

No Kronos Aston on the entry list? A bit disappointing.

Ferrari is throwing everything at the 458-and they should, they'll need all the development they can do before Le Mans.

Pandamasque · 22 Mar 2011, 12:12 (Ref:2851165)

That's why the team is called 'Guess (what we are) racing, Europe'

vancecooley · 22 Mar 2011, 15:41 (Ref:2851312)

Will there be a way to watch this in the states through live streaming? And since I'm not much of a world traveler, what time of day in US central time is this going to be?

Google is your friend

http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_FR.aspx

subtract the number on the screen with the time it is for you and add it to the french site scheduale

I dont know about live streeming.

Deleted · 22 Mar 2011, 16:43 (Ref:2851345)

Since it's shown on Motors, any (legal) streaming is unlikely.

That was pretty good!

So I guess (no pun intended) that Dyson is the only Mazda team this year.

Nice one.

Tom Kimber-Smith replaces Thor-Christian Ebbesvik at Greaves Motorsport.

Sounds like not enough sponsor money to pay the repair bills...

Nice to see them return to the classic blue/green look!

I can't help thinking that Kessel 458 has to be an error on the list- I can't see how they can run a 458 in Am either.... IIRC, they had a 430 at the Ricard test?

I thought Farnbacher had a 458 on order, but are running the 430 until it's delivered. Maybe we'll see the old car at the first race (they ran it at the test IIRC?), with the 458 debuting at Spa, or is it simply another error in the list?

I hadn't noticed the JMB 430 missing from the list though- wonder what's happening with that- lack of paying drivers?

Probably a mix-up on the list, Farnbacher said that their 458 should be delivered in time for Ricard.
