lol yes. my dream is to race in the 24hrs of le mans (or something close to that). and im in America. lol no nascar for me..
Thank you for clearning that up, Panozlmp1. i remeber on eurosport that they showed the AB crew, and a few of the guys looked familar to me(they were at Road America with Konrad in 2003). Does Konrad employ Chris Crawford, or is he employed by AB? one interesting thing to know, Chris Crawford played a major role with the team this year, and it could be a big thing if he stays/goes to AB or Konrad next year. Why would Jurgen Alzen want to sell the alien ( "Turbinchen"-Porsche)? The unreliabilty? that would mean no more VLN, would AB then just run in Procar(German GT series that will start in 2005) with the Maseratis? a lot of questions still left to be answered. And another question. What will Franz do with 4 Saleens now? I know one has been sold or leased to Max Stanco, but theres still another 3. Most likely, we will see 2 of them in FIA GT, but what about the other one? Maybe some ALMS races?!(i hope!!!!) Last edited by 19dodge; 18 Nov 2004 at 02:22. |

it would be great if Reiter can get the Lambo up and running, they always seem to do a better job with the car than DAMS... does anyone know why Reiter doesn't race the car himself like he did back with the Diablo? |

Phillip Islands? Why that one? From what I've heard Ratel was "hinting" at Bathurst.

The one , the only Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Victoria. Home to the Australian MotoGP. Also probably the quickest track in the country with a fabulous back drop. It's almost on the beach.

I know the track, but why are you saying that track will be used and not Bathurst? As far as I know there haven't been any rumours or hints towards Phillip Island, and there have been towards Bathurst.

The MC12 should be run by JMB (2cars), Ecurie Ecosse (1 car) and Zakspeed (1 car for Alzen and Bartels). AF Corse will not be running MC12s. |

Zakspeed? The Alzen/Bartels car is run by AB Performance Racing and Konrad Motorsport, surely?

And on the subject of Ecurie Ecosse, whatever happened to Ray Mallock's plans to revive the name in sportscar racing?

would make sense if Zakspeed does go with AB. since AB does not have a team to support them next year (this year, AB had 80% Konrad personal on their team, and they used the Konrad raceshop). now since they are going to Maserati's , they have split with Konrad. so they will most likely need another team to "help" them

If I'm not mistaken Alzen has a raceshop as well. Still Zakspeed is the bigger one of the two though, also with more endurance-experience.

Indeed, the expectation was that AB Performance Racing would move to the Jurgen Alzen Motorsport base near the Nurburgring. If Zakspeed are genuinely coming back to FIA GTs, then it's (very welcome) news to me.
It was indeed Scuderia Ecosse which ran in British GTs this year, a wholly different entity from the venerable Ecurie Ecosse of David Murray fame. |

No, Fab, I'm not, but the names are the same... :-)You can see some images on my homepage although I never really updated them. And thank-you for your welcome note!

Jürgen Alzen Motorsport runs two cars in the Porsche Michelin Suopercup, the 996 Turbo in the Langstreckenmeisterschaft and a couple of 996GT3-R or Cup Cars. Another question: Are Alzen and Zakowski friends enough to run a team... |
