Well... that what they say! Let's hope that it will happen like that.

Hache Team Director on sportmotores.es

2 cars confirmed: Luchinni + Other (corfirmed in the next days)
Most of the, several, pilots (Maxi Cortés, Nil Montserrat, Pierre Combot, Fonsi González Nieto and Carmen Jordá) they had in 2009 will continue, but there will be some new faces.

Genuinely pleased by this - proper look at the Lucchini last year at Silverstone highlighted some of the really interesting and appealing aspects of the chassis - pleased to see it back.

Curious as to what route they'll go down for the 'other' car.

The Badger · 10 Jan 2010, 02:16 (Ref:2610802)

The other car is supposed to be a Lola B09 Judd I believe .

GT-Eins · 10 Jan 2010, 12:20 (Ref:2610964)

Not a Zytek? ...

My bet is on the Zytek, I know that they have been talking to other Zytek teams about the car...

The Badger · 10 Jan 2010, 17:42 (Ref:2611095)

Ive heard that the possible Zytek teams for 2010 are :Corsa , Barazi Epsilon , Beachdean Mansell , ASM Quifel , GAC .

Does GAC sound as bad to Euro types as it does us Americans? Sounds like something we'd choke out after eating something awful. GAK!!! Of course Beachdean Mansell has it's own set of problems. Just think of Hindie saying something like this after a wreck. "...and Team BM just got Wiped Out."

Regular readers of the music industry gossip site PopB*tch may have their own interpretation of GAC Racing Team !

Nice pic on End-info of the beachdean mansell Zytek

Nope

The Badger · 12 Jan 2010, 00:00 (Ref:2611982)

Nope ...... what does nope mean with respect to my comment ?

The above teams are not running Zyteks ?

I know Beachdean , ASM , GAC are running them Graham .

GAC is no longer (at least not in LMP2). The former GAC and Bruichladdich will run Ojea's Zytek under the Bruichladdich lable in 2010.

So that makes, ASM, BM, and Bruichladdich confirmed.

I thought the implication was that Bruichladdich staff and not Gosselin's 'GAC' staff would be running the car so that statement is not perfectly accurate if the presser is to be believed.

cptkablamo · 12 Jan 2010, 05:03 (Ref:2612052)

Is it Tim Greaves that has a stake in both Bruichladdich and Radical? - there is a link between those two companies outside LMS isn't there? (just to clear it up in my own mind)

So I guess this could be the end of Radical SR9 in the LMS - or will Bruneau continue with the car?

I suppose by "former" GAC, I simply mean Ojjeh and his car.

The SR9 was up for sale at the end of last season, but I don't know if it got sold or not. The SR9 wasn't very successful as a LMP2 car really.

My understanding is that Tim Greaves has a stake in both but thats probably the only link between a distillery and a race car manufacturer!

He was also referred to as "digger", for obvious reasons.

He'll call them Beachdean no doubt, if only to ensure his supply of complimentary ice cream!

Yes.

The Badger · 12 Jan 2010, 14:58 (Ref:2612196)

Why digger ...... obvious !?!?!?

I presume that GAC in finished then ?

Looks like LAA has decided to stay with GM/GT1 tech - Click.

A treat (or not) for the eardrums so

Marcel ten Caat · 12 Jan 2010, 19:52 (Ref:2612360)

Which makes one wonder which Corvette C6.R will be used by them...given the fact that one of the two cars that they used in 2009 was written off.

The Badger · 12 Jan 2010, 20:01 (Ref:2612370)

Well , P&M surly have at least a couple of spare chassis hanging about that I assume they dont need anymore .

ger80 · 12 Jan 2010, 22:19 (Ref:2612448)

Any news about Rollcentre? Will ask Shorty at the NEC if I see him anyway ...
