Yep, Tom Chilton will be at Thruxton for BTCC.

So I guess problems for the Creation CA07, since I believe they originally planned to be at Valencia...?

JAG · 25 Apr 2007, 19:52 (Ref:1900399)

I can't help feeling Creation are dropping behind.

They still haven't managed a race win and the competions becoming stronger with every event.

brielga · 26 Apr 2007, 08:54 (Ref:1900733)

And the Creation Intersport performance in America is lower than expected... BTW I made a mistake and Markland is excluded (or maybe they need some serious performance review). I know that (unlike regular customers) they have had no assistance of Corvette since they never contacted them and are preparing the car themselves. In Monza they were below par in speed so maybe Pratt&Miller can give a hand!!!

Creations problem is mostly, if not all, due to tires! Yes Marklands performance was lacking! Hope they can turn it around somehow.

HORNDAWG · 1 May 2007, 17:35 (Ref:1904399)

How close, if any, of an umbilical cord does Racing Box have with Oreca? If Oreca come to the U.S. for PLM/Laguna like Hugue de Chaunac has stated http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools will Racing Box come along? Maybe share shipping costs from the Continent to the U.S.?

L.P.

Francesco · 1 May 2007, 18:58 (Ref:1904438)

that's quite impossible... Racing Box are using one of the ORECA cars and they have it for rent... some mechanic from RB are involved in the operation but there are a lot of ORECA technician in their pits... and with that driver pairing it would be a waste of money... no match against Ortelli, Ayari or the other big names in GT1... maybe just Cioci can take the challenge with some good drivers...

HORNDAWG · 1 May 2007, 19:25 (Ref:1904453)

So will Racing Box do Interlagos? And I wonder if Racing Box does not do the ALMS if Oreca will bring both cars?? With maybe Hernandez / Groppi in the second car??

L.P.

Oreca also has a second car.

Was not sure how many they have. And FFSA @ Magny-Cours is 13-14 Oct. the week in between PLM and Laguna so I was not sure if there was enough cars to cover and which would be the priorities.

Tires? I am aware of the issues at Sebring but do they still have problems with the Kumhos? Chris Buncombe and the Binnie team were positively impressed with them so I'm not sure if this is the issue in itself...

Two totally different tires! One is for P-2 (Binnie,BK..) which Kuhmo has experience with. The tire for Creation is a completely new build for Kuhmo. They have never built a P-1 tire before and they are not the same!

That explains it then... thanks for the info

That list must be wrong it still shows the Creation in the line up or am I just reading it wrong and it was just the Standings you were wanting to show?

Will Markland Racing conduct more testing/updating of their GT2-spec Corvette Z06?

The Creation is still supposed to arrive this season. And yes, I gave you the standings after race one, which by definition was equal to the Monza race result.....

brielga · 8 May 2007, 14:02 (Ref:1909026)

They need to get help from Pratt & Miller I'm afraid...

Will the LMS regs be adjusted after Le Mans, in time for Nurburgring?

Didn't the ACO say they reserved the right adjust regs once, mid season, in the LMS?

I heard something like that too but you know the ACO if past performance is anything to go by we could have a new set of regs altogether!

Let's not worry about regs now but concentrate on the epic battle ahead of us: Peugeot vs Audi....Finally something again that will stir people's imagination...
