well if larbre does run a 550 at sebring it could just mean they will use it as a warm up race for the lmes like velox audi did last year, and also use it as an endurance test to see if the car is reliable. the 550's did struggle with reliability this year at lemans. but i kinda hoped they would run a full ALMS because they've already one the FIA GT championship and teh LMES championship. now all tehy need is to win the ALMS championship and tehy would have a hat trick. besides would u prove ur the best by beating out a factory team like the vettes

There could be a 575 with Red Bull money for Wendlinger & Peter.

BSchneiderFan · 13 Dec 2004, 18:49 (Ref:1178532)

I thought the presence of Wendlinger and Peter in a Red Bull-backed Ferrari was pretty much certain.

I did not know about it until today.

BSchneiderFan · 13 Dec 2004, 19:41 (Ref:1178576)

I think I read it in Autosport last week, or perhaps the week before.

19dodge · 13 Dec 2004, 22:12 (Ref:1178740)

it was in autosport about 3 weeks ago.

fia gt is really changing for next year.. i am happy to see BMS go to LMES. they dominated too much in FIA GT lol..

SALEEN S7R · 13 Dec 2004, 23:04 (Ref:1178774)

IMO BMS are going to LMES as they know Maserati would beat them next year in FIA GT. And as we know, AF Corse Maserati is in FIA GT for 2005. Not the LMES.

Bramzel · 13 Dec 2004, 23:33 (Ref:1178793)

I think S7R has a point. BMS couldn't get the MC12's, so I think they're going to try it in LMES because they've got a bigger chance there.

On the other hand, next year; the battle of the MC12's? AF Corse vs. Vitaphone could be a nice battle.

Jeffrey-Lee · 14 Dec 2004, 00:15 (Ref:1178810)

Plus BMS can give Le Mans a serious shot this way, I'd guess a full season of FIA GT takes up to much time and money to be able to prepare yourself properly for Le Mans.

Yes, no chance to prepare decently between FIA Gt races.

BSchneiderFan · 14 Dec 2004, 13:41 (Ref:1179184)

Presumably, though, there will be no need to convert cars from ACO to FIA spec next year, with the unification of the rules? As I recall, that was an expensive deterrent to FIA competitors applying for Le Mans.

alfan · 14 Dec 2004, 16:20 (Ref:1179260)

Stanco & Janus will run under name "RAM Racing Team". It's also possible, that Stanco will get drive in Konrad's Saleen. Max said: "Franz Konrad own's me three races"

Gabrio · 15 Dec 2004, 14:17 (Ref:1180073)

Deletraz to buy and race an MC12.

What about the other Lambo-Drivers Oritz / Gabbiani

AND: What about the Lambo for Alexander Frey

Ortiz & Gabbiani are trying to drive an MC12.
Audi does not yet know what to do with the Lambo project. Looks like Lamborghini is about to be sued for breach of contract about not updating the car.

Bramzel · 15 Dec 2004, 15:19 (Ref:1180178)

Weird stuff going on there then. I mean, Lamborghini is a daughter of Audi, instead of sueing them why don't they help it? And where is the problem? Is it at Audi Sport, Lamborghini or Reiter Engineering?

Thommy · 15 Dec 2004, 15:26 (Ref:1180190)

Another point: No Hezemans-Corvette? Hezemans is said not to be Corvette- Costumer... So, 575 for the dutch?

Didn't say that it was being sued by Audi, but by a team....
Come to think of it, Audi just replaced Lambo's management.....

gwyllion · 15 Dec 2004, 15:27 (Ref:1180198)

I think Gabrio means other parties are sueing Lamborghin, e.g. DAMS or Krohn-Barbour Racing.

Thank-you

Bramzel · 15 Dec 2004, 15:51 (Ref:1180225)

Ah, misunderstood you, sorry.

Definitely not a 575 for him. Don't forget he left GPC early already because he was frustrated by the cars lack of potential. He did continue with Bosch at Barron Connor, but we all know how that ended.

Thommy · 15 Dec 2004, 16:03 (Ref:1180236)

SO, what then? Maserati for Hezemans? Or even a Lambo?

Bramzel · 15 Dec 2004, 16:08 (Ref:1180242)

Or perhaps a Prodrive-550-Aston programme? Don't know, still trying to figure it out.

19dodge · 16 Dec 2004, 14:14 (Ref:1181104)
