One point of particular interest: the 4 litre engine produced lap times 3 seconds quicker than the 3.4 in testing at Istanbul!

Were they running on 900Kg, though?

JAG · 24 Nov 2005, 20:23 (Ref:1469580)

700kg.

200kg ballast will not amount to 3 whole seconds.

The last i heard about Alphand was , he was thinking about a Zultek in LMP2 !

In all my calculations about who we're likely to see on the grid in LMP1 next year I've consistently overlooked Oreca. Anyone have any insight into whether we'll see them doing anything next year (appreciating new chassis will be required)?

Dani Filth · 25 Nov 2005, 11:17 (Ref:1469957)

as they will be running 3 cars for Seat in WTCC .. will they be able to run a big sportscar programe too ??

When the Zultec was launched during the Le Mans week there was some talks Alphand was interested in the car.

Does that mean there is now only one C6.R up for grabs?

DSC have updated the article to confirm that it will be a C5-R, chassis #10.

Oreca is able to handle more as you might think. This year they did the LMES program, rally in France, engines for WTCC Seat ( beside the test races ) and they are also involved into the French Porsche cup. Therefore a WTCC program shouldn’t effect their sportscar program- if they want to race sportscars in 2007.

JAG · 29 Nov 2005, 17:33 (Ref:1473187)

Cirtek, via DSC, confirm they will run two GT1 cars next season, at least one Aston, likely to be two.

Wonder if any of those 550s will find a home in the Le Mans Series?

rdjones · 29 Nov 2005, 17:38 (Ref:1473189)

I think someone will pick up the 550's that they have shown this year that they can still be competive in both the LMES and in the FIA GT championships.

You clearly haven't read the dsc article on radical closely enough Trey! It will be three cars (at least) in the Le Mans Series

JAG · 29 Nov 2005, 21:07 (Ref:1473336)

We'll at last have some rumble in the Le Mans Series with the Lister, C5-R's and Panoz.

Can't Wait!

TheNewBob · 30 Nov 2005, 14:02 (Ref:1473898)

Hope the 550's do get an extra lease of life in the LMES - what about any of the Saleen runners? GNM?

The Badger · 30 Nov 2005, 15:59 (Ref:1473964)

Any idea what Larbre are doing for next year and with what ?

Many things are up in the air at the moment, do you stick with a 550, Saleen 575 and hope for the best, risk everything on an Aston, or consider an LMP?

BTW, looks like Lister will be in for the full 2006 Le Man Series.

Hopefully the drivers (the ones from Vallelunga) can bring some good funding and stability to the team.

Clearly I forgot about the AER-powered 'factory' car. Yes, we are all human aren't we?

think if Mr Bickerton of Creation has let word out that there is potential for a second car, then you can assume it's a 99.9% done deal. Very professional outfit. I'd have a second Creation entry on these lists.
Sebring doesn't assure Le Mans entry, but it helps. LNT not getting an entry was apparently political and nothing to do with the car or team performances.
I'd also have Jota on there.. sure they'll be out but remains to be seen what in.
As with many of the LMP1 teams I think that the cost of a hybrid build compared to selling this years car and buying a new one probably means that if people can find buyers for this years cars they will do so.
Your GT2 class is looking a little thin ???

jhansen · 30 Nov 2005, 17:16 (Ref:1474032)

He's only listing "confirmed" entries.

That list excludes probable, or rumored entries.

JAG · 2 Dec 2005, 21:26 (Ref:1475988)

According to Planet Le Mans RFH will run the Jim Gainer Dome Hybrid, with increased factory backing.

ger80 · 2 Dec 2005, 21:30 (Ref:1475991)

RFH with "normal" or air suspension system?

**FIRE** · 2 Dec 2005, 21:39 (Ref:1475995)

According Planetlemans.com:

Quote:

The team will get more factory support next year. RfH is currently working on improving their very special suspension system, getting all the right sponsorship contracts and making an engine decision. Nothing really specific yet in this area.

Full article

I think it's a good sign RfH has reveiled some of their plans so early. The Gainer Dome hybrid was quick at Le Mans so with the experience of RfH and more factory backing I have high expectations for 2006.

Alistair_Ryder · 3 Dec 2005, 02:12 (Ref:1476106)

Call me strange but i loved the noise that mugen v8 engine made last year, it just sounded so 'mechanical' and yes it did appear to be extremely quick, until it was last seen reversing down the pit straight and into the pit lane again.

...another useless post brought to you by alistair ryder.

i do apologise, it wasn't the dome at all, it was in fact a car from a completely different class
