They both shared the RFH Dome last year. Begs the question, who will drive the second dome if it gets in ??

rdjones · 13 Apr 2004, 17:32 (Ref:938547)

I have just seen over DSC that Andy Wallace will drive the Zytek.

I think that's the question! Before the entrylist was released RfH was thinking they could enter 2 cars, so probably they were negotiating with some drivers (including Ortiz and Gabbiani) for the 2nd car. It will be difficult for RfH to get drivers who have money but also some talent.

Well I have a few hundreds of euro's on my bank account (don't know about the talent by the way), but the problem is I don't have a helmet, so that won't work...

See the FIA GT Rd. 2 Valencia entry thread.

Wallace-Gabianni-Ortiz in the works Zytek ..... shame !!! I hope this means the second RfH car is not withdrawn from the first reserve position ? What about JC-W , whats he going to do now ?

Graham Goodwin · 14 Apr 2004, 11:51 (Ref:939336)

Gabbiani and Ortiz were never due to be in the second RfH car

JC-W is driving the Creation DBA/Zytek in LMES, so with that car not on the list, presumably he's possibly open to any other drive still available at LM

Wout · 14 Apr 2004, 13:34 (Ref:939446)

So, if JC-W should join RFH for the possible second entry, the circle is closed...

Wondering who will be in the 'first' RFH. To be honest I expected Andy Wallace to have one of that seats. Does Jan need paying drivers or did he already sign two other drivers for the first car?

With Arena's withdrawl Stefan Johansson is free, now he would fit the line-up of that car perfectly...

I only used the word "linked"......

dretceterini · 14 Apr 2004, 16:35 (Ref:939600)

How about Tommy Kendall?

**Aysedasi** · 14 Apr 2004, 16:59 (Ref:939616)

Didn't he used to play for Everton?

rdjones · 14 Apr 2004, 17:19 (Ref:939638)

No that was Howard Kendall he also use to manage them aswell - anyway back to Le Mans. I'll be sorting out a full entry list as it at later tonight.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Apr 2004, 19:17 (Ref:939736)

Do you know more than we have here already then......?

rdjones · 14 Apr 2004, 19:20 (Ref:939740)

It's up now. All I have done is put the right driver in the right car with the information I have. I am 99.9% certain it is correct.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Apr 2004, 20:27 (Ref:939780)

Well, I updated earlier this evening with everything I found here...... (useful source....

)

The problem with JC-W is his bad luck. At Le Mans last year he crashed the car in qualifications so badly it didn't make it to the start of the race and in FIA GT at Barcelona (or was it somewhere else?) the roof of his Lister was chopped off by a flying front splitter...

PRF · 14 Apr 2004, 22:21 (Ref:939880)

Chris Dyson could be in the RfH Dome?

Wasn't he over there for the Paul Ricard test with RfH???

and there is another thread concerning Dyson looking at the Dome chassis for next year....

Lammers would be the guy to grease the skids for them to be getting a new 2004 specs Dome...

And for various reasons, Dyson chose not to use is "automatic bid" to LM....

Many pieces of the puzzle seem to fit on this one...

Guess we'll have to wait and see...

dretceterini · 14 Apr 2004, 22:45 (Ref:939895)

Tommy Kendall is a really good driver and a great guy. He dosn't have much international experience, but he did win 4 Trans Am championships. The biggest problem he has had is the fact he is so tall, hence the nickname "Too tall Tommy". I think he is 6'4"

dretceterini · 14 Apr 2004, 22:53 (Ref:939900)

Sebring is not much more than half the size of LeMans, and manages 60 cars, so I see no problem with 70 at Le Mans. The Nurburgring isn't all that much bigger than Le Mans, and they manage a lot more than 70....

Tim Northcutt · 15 Apr 2004, 13:23 (Ref:940454)

We have asked that question before, and I believe that it has to do with the number of garages that they have on pit lane at Le Mans....

Since there are 50, I believe that they establish that number to ensure that the teams all have equal race facilities available to them....

At one point last year, I believe that Fab had told us that there have been discussions concerning expanding that pit lane to 55 or 60 garages, which in turn woudl expand the field for the race....

I could be wrong on all of this....so please don't hesitate to correct me on this....

I hate to be the source of bad info that others remember, and many times later, others who do know the facts waste their time correcting it...

But at least that is the way I understand it....

Hope that helps
