I'm quite happy to see so many entries in the P1/2 and GT1 classes. Traditionally these classes have always struggled, so to see teams investing in these cars shows sportscar racing is pretty healthy. There must be well over 100 GT2 cars competing in various series across Europe. |

Oh man , that does not sound too good at all . Im sure they will have some kind of troubles with the new installation , or cooling or something .
I reckon at this stage , to stuff a GV4 in it would be a bad choice , especially when weve seen how well the GV5 can do . How does that effect their Le Mans entry , or will it ? |

I assume the conversion to the GV4 should be fairly straight forward, but a conversion to GV5 will surely take a lot of work, not to mention beefing up of many of the components. I just hope he has time for the car to be reasonably well prepared for Le Mans. I'd hate to see him struggle again at Le Mans like he did last year! |

Indeed, this sounds like changing horses in the middle of the river. I guess the "Istanbul vibrations" forced this change... It's a risk but then again I like people that can take decisions!!!! I will keep my fingers crossed.

There are 2 factory Courage LC70s on the LMS entry list, but according to Yves Courage the second car will only run at Le Mans.

If there are extenuating circumstances (Mugen can't supply the engine), then I can understand an application for the change being accepted (like in 2004). In this case, it will be a decision made by RfH and should be resisted.
In the GT area, should Cirtek be allowed to change its entry of the 550 (given on merit for last year's performance) for a DBR9? If not, they will have to rent a 550 to run at Le Mans...and that is looking like what may have to happen. |

As a bit of fun if anyone passes us on the way give us a wave or hoot and we will see how many of Ten tenths members (sportscar racing fans) actually go to anything other than LeMans. |

The Zytek is OK although the decision to have the wider wheels has made it look a bit too 'chunky' for my tastes. I prefer the frontal aspect, the rear does nothing for me.
Anyway, let's see how it goes. I think going with a V8 is a mistake but sensible given that it is made by Zytek (and they don't do V10s). It should be quick but will it last? Quick drivers? Nielsen and Elgaard are no slouches (2 pros). Without JCW in the Creation car, Pesca will walk it and the fight will be for second and third. IMO, Minassin, JCW and Ortiz could make it a race. With Gabbiani instead of JCW, Pesca will not need to be pushed. Please, if there is a God!!!!!............ |
