Oak Racing have conformed they'll compete in the ILMC with two cars.

No world on whether they'll be P1 or P2.

In that case wouldn't it be a 2011 P1 as I can't see them running two new cars just for three races.

I think they said all classes would be invited if they got at least 5 entries in each particular class.

Correct for team championship. I Think that the constructors title is reserved to P1 and GT2...

So, I will likely be in the UK in September. Do I go to the Silverstone 1000k on the 12th (1st round of the LMIC) or do I go to Goodwood Revival on the 18th? I can't do both, unfortunately (wifey can only take so much car racing!).

Any advice on which is the more memorable event? This will be my first trip to the UK.
Cheers!

Goodwood Revival. Take your wife, dress up in period costume and have a day out together.

These three posts will give you a flavour of what to expect.

Silverstone LMIC will be good too but the place is charmless at the best of times and it is still a building site while the new pits are constructed. Your wife will love the style and glamour of the Revival.

I'll be at Silverstone - but I'll be wishing I could have done both.......

NightStalk3r · 3 Aug 2010, 21:19 (Ref:2739031)

I hope to be at Silverstone too this year, i missed it last year due to work.

JAG · 3 Aug 2010, 22:23 (Ref:2739084)

Still have plans to hire an MPV and camp nearby for Silverstone.

I remember reading a while ago that it was potentially on the cards for RSR. Presumably we've heard nothing since that initial announcement?

NightStalk3r · 4 Aug 2010, 18:46 (Ref:2739491)

BMW have confirmed there entry but i dont see how there plan is valid for the title, they are having a single Schnitzer car for Silvertone and Zhuhai, and RLR's pair for Petit Le Mans, how is this going to work, are RLR going to have to change there name to BMW Motorsport for Petit Le Mans if they do this then they will not score any ALMS championship team points at Petit.

Maybe there will be a manfacturer championship awarded and bmw is going for that. But even then you would think they would align 2 cars, so I am a little puzzled too

Id go to Silverstone for the LMS - A bumper entry on the new circuit it should be a great race weekend...

There is also 2 Free VIP Tickets available... but if I mention anymore I will be hung drawn and quartered....

With no Audis on the Hungaroring entry list, it makes me question how the ILMC selection process works, if an individual entry has to run 5 races including the ILMC, or if a team collectivly does? Peugeot has run two cars at Sebring, and 2 out of those 3 cars at Spa ran Sebring. The #7 Joest Audi ran Paul Ricard and Spa. The #8 and 9 ran Spa and Le Mans, with LM not offically counting towards that total.

How how does that process work? Peugeot is only going to enter one of their cars at Silverstone, but two in the rest, and RLR will do PLM for BMW. So I guess that Audi will be gunning for the drivers title with McNish and Capello, and just use the second car for manufacturers points if it does get in.

Either that, or Audi has some cards they aint showin' and plan on doing either Road America or Mosport as an in-race test before Silverstone(some news will come about the ALMS this weekend). If so, it can be a shot in the arm for the ALMS, though the Audis will only race for trophies and finishing positions, being inelegible for points due to not running most of the races. But I'm not holding my breath on that one, and I'll believe it when I see it.

Victor_RO · 6 Aug 2010, 06:53 (Ref:2740217)

Well, the Hungaroring entry list is still temporary. Endurance-Info's Facebook page has a message about a "surprising return" with no other details given, so... we'll see anyway.

There is no "link" between this message and ILMC. "La rentrée" in French, this is the beginning of September. So, this is not about a come back. This is juste a surprise from EI. Sorry, this is not Porsche come back in LMP1 !

Ah okay. But in any case, I didn't mean anything related to Porsche, I was thinking about a potential late addition to the Hungaroring entry list and was wondering whether the message had anything to do with it.

chernaudi · 10 Aug 2010, 21:54 (Ref:2742743)

Again, I would like some clarification (if any is avilable knowing the ACO!) what is required to be classified in the ILMC and how it applies. I know that a team has to run 5 races total, with two being non-ILMC events. In that case, Oreca has run the whole LMS season, and thus qualifies. Peugeot has run two of their cars at Sebring and Spa, and qualify, Audi, though, has run the 7 at Paul Ricard and Spa, while the 8 and 9 have only done Spa.

Does qualification apply to a blanket entry (ie, at least one Joest/Audi Sport NA Audi has done two races and two Peugeot Sport entries have done two races outside of the ILMC), or does it apply to individual entrants, ie the car number.

If the latter, Audi has to run the 8 or 9 in one more race, and time is running out, with no entry at Hungaroring and Road America, leaving only Mosport I believe as an "Le Mans Series" race before Silverstone. Or is the ACO this time around willing to be leanent in terms of entry requirements? Or is Audi willing to run one car in those races offically unclassified for points? Could be risky if Audi is taking the ILMC seriously for the drivers and manufacturers championships.

Marcel ten Caat · 10 Aug 2010, 22:06 (Ref:2742750)

Manufacturers' Classification:

For this classification, only the two cars of the same manufacturer, (whoever the competitor is), having obtained the best classification will score points, at the end of each race (addition of the points of the 2 cars)

Classification of Teams:

To score points in the Teams’ classification, a competitor :
. must enter at least one car in the 3 ILMC races,
. must have entered at least one car in 5 races run under the 2010 Le Mans label (ALMS – LMS – ASIAN LE MANS SERIES – 24 HEURES DU MANS), ILMC races included.
. must have paid to the organizers the entry fees for each race (LMS – ALMS – ASIAN LE MANS SERIES).

Google is your friend: http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/...mc_2010_gb.pdf

One car is sufficient for the teams cup. The manufacturers cup has no requirement about participation in 5 races.

BTW there is no drivers cup. That explains why Peugeot is giving all its drivers a chance to race in the remaining 3 ILMC races.
