SpeedTV.com reports that Don Panoz is insistant that PTG will have the Abruzzi race car ready in time for Petit Le Mans. It will however not be homologated in time and will run as an invitational entry.

Theysure don't have much time to build the car up. Don said the chassis was delivered to ptg two weeks ago. Sounds like they will put a roll cage in it and go racing.

Mosport is over, and it is slightly over a month until go time.
When are the names going to be released? |

Came out Sept. 4th last year, about 3½ weeks in advance of the race. So I would venture sometime between now and Sept. 10th. Hopefully it will be when they confirm the 2011 Sept. 3rd round's venue, which might be as soon as Friday.
L.P. |

He never said the IRL and ALMS announced it. The article clearly states at the end: "Baltimore Racing promoters declined to comment further about the race weekend until the official announcement next week." So we're just waiting for official confirmation of the confirmation of the confirmation of the c.... of the news. |

Just thinking about the large expected entry list, and after some of the carnage of the past weekend at Mosport, I wonder how many cars that showup for practice at Road Atlanta won't make the race because of accidents. It has nearly happened in the recent past with the Pugs and the Highcroft car and if you have had non starters for mechanical reasons too (Eco). So if the entry is over 50 I wonder if we will actually see that many take the green flag on Saturday.

"We are a single point ahead of BMW and only 11 points ahead of Ferrari in the manufacturers championship, so there is still lots of work to be done, and there will be some additional Porsches at Atlanta to help us. We don’t just want the drivers title we want it all,” said Long, who won the title with Joerg and the Lizards a year ago as well."
Pat Long seems to be under the impression there will be more Porsche GT2's at Petit Le Mans, so if not from Europe where are they coming from? |

Vici Racing is a Florida based team and still has a 2009 car. Those seem like the most likely choices. |

In addition to the Vici chassis, I wonder where Black-Swan's 911 GT2 ended up, gathering dust somewhere? Remember, it tested at Sebring. |

Vici just moved into new digs. Cars just don't appear out of thin air and there are plenty of VLN Porsche drivers available, there's a gap in the schedule, those drivers will be available. Not sure how many cars Flying Lizards has. |
