Yes, Ojjeh bought that one, and it will be run for Trading Performance in the LMS next year.

The Badger · 5 Dec 2007, 20:27 (Ref:2082372)

LeMans.pt · 5 Dec 2007, 20:39 (Ref:2082388)

Trading Performance. I think these are the same people who ran the Belmondo Courages.

The Badger · 5 Dec 2007, 21:52 (Ref:2082435)

Oh right , so Belmondo didnt run his own C65 then ? They didnt run so well either !!!

brielga · 5 Dec 2007, 22:05 (Ref:2082444)

Not the whole team but a lot of the crew, including Gosselin behind the wheel. BTW Zytek might still have more customers...

brielga · 5 Dec 2007, 22:16 (Ref:2082449)

Verschuur received the Porsche RS Spyder. The team is re-christened to van Merkesteijn Motorsport (by Equipe Verschuur). Testing will be in February only.

Including WR in their return to the LMS in 08 with Zytek power in their new WR LMP 2008 chassis. And they hope to contest LeMans also if their application is taken up by the committee. As LeMans.pt alluded to.

L.P.

**Bentley03** · 5 Dec 2007, 22:53 (Ref:2082463)

I reckon it'll be fascinating to see WR with a serious lump behind the loud pedal. I'm really looking forward to their return.

Of course, this does raise the question of who between Embassy, Barazi, BTP, Binnie and Arena has not signed on the dotted line for 2008? Arena? Could there be some truth in the Zytek Audi rumour?

The Badger · 5 Dec 2007, 23:41 (Ref:2082492)

Im really looking forward to seeing a WR with a real engine stuck in it !!!

Embassy are not in question , neither are Barazi or BTP , imo . Binnie is a rumour and then we have the Arena Audi FSI rumour too , and both are possible .

Im hoping LNT get their mits on one of the LMP2 chassis .

Well Binnie was supposed to be shopping for a chassis. I would suspect that they might be one of the front runners for being on the 'not committed yet' list.

but the 2nd car will not race

The359 · 6 Dec 2007, 16:22 (Ref:2082922)

One calendar change so far, the 1000km Spa has been moved forward a week to May 11.

LC2guy · 6 Dec 2007, 16:25 (Ref:2082924)

Why buy a second car and not race it ???

Cheaper than buying a spares package.

Re Spa:-

The release of Le Mans Series:

" "The 1,000 km of Spa-Francorchamps change date. Originally scheduled for the weekend of 17/18 May, the third race will take place a week earlier than planned, on 10 and 11 May, at the legendary Spa circuit - Francorchamps.

If the negotiations were a bit slow before we arrive, it seems that that date is an excellent solution because it allows both to avoid a clash with the FIA GT, which organizes the race on May 18 at Monza, and " competitors offer common Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans an extra week to prepare for the Le Mans test. "

Looks a good schedule.

Mal · 6 Dec 2007, 17:44 (Ref:2082968)

It also means that LMS now avoids a clash with the DTM and as a result Audi can run their DTM drivers in the series

HORNDAWG · 6 Dec 2007, 17:57 (Ref:2082972)

Shanghai to be possible promo race for new Asian LeMans Series to start in 09?

Now I wonder where those World Series Renault cars will run

They had May 11 - Belgium - Zolder or Spa on their calendar, my guess this one is solved as well now.

**Bentley03** · 7 Dec 2007, 00:09 (Ref:2083262)

The motivation for the change in date was apparently the fact that the FIAGT championship also races at Monza on the 18th May.

So, nothing to do with Audi (

).

(I see the Brno FIAGT round clashes with the Silverstone LMS round on 14th September.)

**FIRE** · 7 Dec 2007, 14:51 (Ref:2083667)

According www.autosport.nl Jan Lammers is close to a contract with Lista Horag Racing to drive in LMS and Sebring. Besides LMS he will drive a Lambo in German ADAC GT Masters, a car in the Dutch BMW 130i Cup and he has some offers from teams to drive at Le Mans.

So this means the end of Racing for Holland in endurance racing.
