Yes, in a Corvette prepped by DKR! They have two Brazilian drivers lined up but will need at least one more for the 24!

I'm pretty excited to see shots of the car done up in the Brazil livery. I think dark blue suits the Corvettes quite well.

I always loved the Le Mans Blue C5-Rs, no matter how unlucky they were!

Does anyone have a larger shot of the livery rendering?

It does look quite good. Gonna be interesting seeing live shots of it in less than a month from now.

DKR's #9 squad will be there I would think? It appears PK Carsport added Mollekens and DKR's Menten to their Spa team so that leave's the #9 with only Palttala.

Palttala is with JWA.

That's confirmed? The only thing I saw on DSC when JWA was announced was they were speaking to previous drivers including Palttala.

Mind you that the #8 Sangari Team Brazil is in fact the DKR Engineering Corvette C6.R.

The Badger · 28 Jun 2009, 15:13 (Ref:2492750)

Be interesting to see how those KplusK Saleens perform here . At least one of them was previously a well sorted endurance machine .

Im also rooting for a decent result for Jet Alliance , to crown their 3rd at Le Mans .

I was chatting to one of the team guys about next year , and he mentioned that plans were still not finalised but probably Fia GT or LMS .

And obviously a Porsche win in Gt2 .

Im not so sure TBH, there is only one strongish Porsche, and even that has a weak link in Darryl O Young.

AndrewF31 · 28 Jun 2009, 16:46 (Ref:2492785)

Planet Le Mans reported earlier in the week that some of the expected one-off entries for Spa include:

- IMSA (welcome Narac and Pilet)
- JWA (already mentioned)
- Chad Racing (not familiar with them)

So, if IMSA brings over a Porsche to the race with at least those 2 guys, Porsche will definitely be in there.
You mentioned the Darryl Young Prospeed car (guess you're speaking of the one with also Holzer and maybe Edwards?). There's the Collard-Westbrook one as well.

If IMSA is coming over from LMS, maybe we won't see many other LMS teams racing but it wouldn't be that odd if a few of the other GT1/GT2 drivers in LMS take part at Spa.

And where did Jetalliance come in? Haven't seen them mentioned anywhere.

Has it been confirmed that Jetalliance will be entering, because I haven't read anything about it for awhile.

What about the #60 Prospeed Porsche?

There is a brief mention of them entering in one of the team's press releases at the being of the year.

Collard, Westbrook, Edwards and O Young are all in the #60, Holzer is with Brixia.

Plan is for 4 pay drivers in the 61, but whether they can find 4 pay drivers is yet to be seen.

Oh right, shame they can't put two works drivers with Collard and Westbrook.

I'd take Edwards over allot of the Factory drivers.

It looks like the 2 Brazilians will race for DKR in the FFSA GT race next weekend so we may see the livery before Spa.

Usually run GT3 Ferraris in British GT, but have also run a Lamborghini in Belcar in the past, and have an RSR as well-think it's usually seen in GT Open?

Speed-King · 28 Jun 2009, 20:11 (Ref:2492854)

Chad Racing also race two KIAs in the Belgian Touring Car series, which includes a 12 hour race at Spa.

Yes, its the Ex Tech 9 car from 2007, currently running in 2008 Spec.

And they ran a GT2 Panoz in the LMS in 2007.

The article I saw said they would be testing the car, it didn't actually say they would run the FFSA-GT race. Anyway, it will be nice to see that Corvette in the field. They need another driver or two for the 24 hours. Uwe Alzen would be nice. He was quite fast in the Phoenix car last year.

rich07 · 29 Jun 2009, 04:14 (Ref:2492981)

Phoenix doing anything? Fassler/Denis Deletraz/Alzen/??? in their C6R would be a worthy addition. Could they enter their Audi R8 in the GT3 class perhaps?

The Badger · 29 Jun 2009, 09:47 (Ref:2493121)

JetAlliance announced at the start of the season that their intention was to enter both Le Mans and the Spa 24 hours . So , I presume its still on the cards , cuz I havent heard anything that suggests other .
