I guess I must have missed this, but on the previous page I see some Formula Le Mans cars on the 2010 list. Does this mean that Formula Le Mans will become a class in LMS, just like its happening in the States?

I would love to hear a Ferrari 12 again. I miss those days in F1 where the Mclaren V10 ran against Ferrari's V12. Before the redlines climbed to 18 Grand that is. One of my favorite parts of LM broadcasts on TV is pit reporting when the cars go by. Trying to pick out the Judds from Porsches and Ferraris etc. (cain't seem to hear too many of the diesels go by)

Yes, I think I know what that means.. lol

I guess I was speculating what A1 Team Malaysia's program could consist of if they made the switch to endurance racing. Asian LMS and Le Mans would be a logical choice for them.

Great news! Was really hoping to see a new GT1 car in the LMS this year. Hopefully they won't be the only ones running one.

Of course A1 Team Malaysia is basically Jack Cunningham's team, which previously was the works MG LMP675 squad. The only thing Malaysian is where the money comes from. He seemed to be keen to keep that link, but I'm sure they'd go wherever the funding led them, not specifically to Asia.

Surely this is a team that could evolve into the 2011 works Lotus team (assuming the money men at Proton give the project the green light).

ACO said the all GT1 cars, interested to be at Le Mans, must partecipate at FIA GT1 balance of performance and Sebring or Paul Ricard, to be allowed to race.

"Swiss Team" (Nissan GT-R) are looking for drivers for 24h Le Mans, so at least one Nissan GT-R should race in LMS (source e-info)

LAA, Phonenix, Vitaphone and JLOC are confirmed for Le Mans....then C6R, MC12 and Murcielago should race in 1 round of LMS

Looks like Radical will have a presence in LMS after all - http://translate.google.com.au/trans...ance-3365.html

The Badger · 21 Jan 2010, 16:40 (Ref:2617021)

Flogging a dead horse , imho .

Underdeveloped and not likely to see much of it , other that to bring it in line with the new regs .

ascarracinguk · 21 Jan 2010, 17:45 (Ref:2617046)

its a shame cos the radical made such a promising start...then went a bit down hill from there

Rollcenter sure did a few wonderful things with that car

They say that there is some new aero evolutions for the car besides the mandatory ones. Also, AER have some new updates...

Any reason why Radical doesn't develop more what started to be one of the best LMP cars arround? Is money all the reasons necessary or LMS is not a priority?

I think it would be great if they modified the SR9 to comply with the 2011 P2 regs, and made it to accommodate multiple engines configurations.

Nice to see the Radical back, probably for one last time I imagine. Can't see it setting the world on fire, but a welcome addition to the lower half of the LMP2 grid.

I can't help wondering if the starter problem in the last bits of Donington 2006 were, in retrospect, something really quite seismic for the car. If it had managed to get a win under its belt would more customers have come forward, so driving development and competitiveness? One of the many marvelous "what ifs?" there are to keep us occupied in the off season I suppose.

Knowing the P2 AER plants track record it wouldn't surprise me if it does set some parts of the world on fire before the season is out.

It seems you are pointing to RKD.
