Luc Alphand 'finished with motorsport.' -
http://www.speedweek.ch/LMS/news/164...otorsport.html Sad to lose LAA. They were always interesting to watch. I didn't expect things to end well after all the trouble they experienced finding backing earlier this season. |

I will miss LAA but hopefully they come back sometime in the near future after a break.

Very nice. Liking the fresh-sounding combination. Always good to see a new team pop up and I wish them all the best.

It seems reports of the demise of Luc Alphand Aventures may not actually be the case. Not according to team manager Philip Poincloux:

Seems like someone should probably tell Luc Alphand this news... Very strange. But good! |

I think it mentions a car in both GTE and P2 ?

Both the classes are being considered, but they'll only compete in one.
*Google translate works very, very well with EI. |

Imola? Interesting choice for a ILMC race. It's going to be a tight old race with ILMC entries in there... although the new pitlane complex should swallow up over 40 cars with no problem. Too bad they ditched the Hungaroring, I missed my chance to go there last year.
Also, it seems like they've listened to Hindhaugh's rants about Portimao and moved it later into the year... if it stays at Portimao (what other track is there in Portugal apart from Estoril though?). |

Something about the fact that it was placed in the middle of the tourist season, which increased logistical (and a lot of other) difficulties with the organisation of the event. Can't remember right now whether it was on Midweek Motorsport or during the Algarve coverage. And one of the suggestions discussed was in fact moving the race out of season, either in spring or autumn.

Looks like Oreca are hoping to have "five or six" 03 LMPs running next year in the hands of customers. The Sbarta-Nissan being number 1... http://www.endurance-series.com/sbar...n-parle/13500/ |

As already stated here, most of the Portuguese motorsports fans are located between Lisbon and Oporto. I know guys from Oporto that spend less money traveling to spa for the 24 Hours race, than to Portimão. So... even in September, getting people to a track that is amazing but stands in the middle of nowhere, will be complicated. There are two other circuits, but only one has the conditions for such a race: Estoril circuit, outside Lisbon, the other is just a very short race track. |
