FIA GT FIA GT / Oschersleben

jcz · 13 Sep 2004, 13:29 (Ref:1095163)

I read on official FIA GT site entry list. There not mentioned Maserrati and Creation Lister. Do you know someone what about.

gwyllion · 13 Sep 2004, 14:05 (Ref:1095203)

Huh? If you look at http://www.fiagt.com/results.php?eve...e=Entry%20List, you will see 2 Maseratis on the entry list.

The Creation Lister is indeed not on there. Maybe there will be some news soon...

The Storms are for sale

Jeffrey-Lee · 13 Sep 2004, 18:21 (Ref:1095487)

That's a shame

, Where did you hear this?

Graham Goodwin · 13 Sep 2004, 18:33 (Ref:1095497)

They are advertised for sale in Autosport

Jeffrey-Lee · 13 Sep 2004, 19:13 (Ref:1095541)

aha

GT-Eins · 14 Sep 2004, 02:54 (Ref:1095845)

27 cars on the entry - & an GNM-Porsche beside the saleen.
Wasn´t Creation roumored to switch to Corvettes in 2005?

marcush. · 14 Sep 2004, 06:23 (Ref:1095930)

I think Creation is well advised to put the listers on sale,as things are they could only destroy the reputation of the cars being fast and reliable.
The Corvette story is around for quite a while but in all honesty ,why should they buy a Corvette eligible only for LMES,LeMans and ALMS when they have a very competitive car for these races already?With their 6 Guys I cannot imagine
them taking two cars to the 1000km races..as they have already the Ligier to take along to race in the classic sportcar round at the same weekend..
If they can get hold of a C-6R ?did I hear these may get homologated for the Fia-GTs?

BSchneiderFan · 14 Sep 2004, 10:07 (Ref:1096102)

I thought that the C5-R was due to be homologated for FIA competition?

marcush. · 14 Sep 2004, 11:39 (Ref:1096196)

then buying c5-Rs of 04 was not a bad idea....these cars are made for 24hours of bashing....
Of course in FIA-GT Trim it will be quite a different animal... how could I miss the fact they will get homologated?

Depends in wich hands. In GM's hands it is. In privateers hands it seems to be more difficult (see the BELCAR Corvette).

Jeffrey-Lee · 14 Sep 2004, 18:18 (Ref:1096545)

That Belcar C5R is running with a considerable handicap iirc.

Bramzel · 14 Sep 2004, 20:46 (Ref:1096715)

Wich handicap? It's fast (like the US ones) but not reliable at all. At least not for the longer distances.

Jeffrey-Lee · 14 Sep 2004, 21:48 (Ref:1096781)

Well in Belcar the C5-R weighs in at 1250kg which is 100kg more than usual for the car (1152kg)

marcush. · 15 Sep 2004, 00:30 (Ref:1096880)

Creation may not be a big organisation but look how the DBA
fares in their hands.....It has the speed to match the works Zytek and how much more could you ask of a private effort? the DBA is quite a bit more sophisticated technically then the corvette.
No fears,they can handle that one.I´m sure pratt&miller are more than willing to supply lifing data of the components as well as perfect setup tables gathered in lon testing sessions.Exactly what a bunch of capable guys with no testing budgets need to spring big surprises.

cybersdorf · 15 Sep 2004, 15:22 (Ref:1097375)

Interesting spelling of "Oschersleben" in the topic header - it associates (unwittingly?) the track with a certain part of the human anatomy normally used for sitting on.

GT-Eins · 15 Sep 2004, 16:20 (Ref:1097440)

Yep - you´re right

Although at least the track is not so bad as it is sometimes roumored. Many drivers say they like the mid-fast corners and for spectators it is due to the high located tribunes an perfect track to overview and make photos.

And the price-level on the east-german tracks in generally more acceptable.

Although I would like to see them running at the Sachsenring...

That shouldn't mean it's that much more unreliable

gwyllion · 17 Sep 2004, 11:04 (Ref:1099116)

The result of the first free practice is available on the FIA GT website: here

The Lamborghini R-GT lapped 5th fastest time, after 2 550s and 2 Saleen and in front of the 2 Maseratis

gwyllion · 17 Sep 2004, 14:48 (Ref:1099398)

I suppose they're towing trailers this time.

The GT field is quite balanced this time isn't it ? The Dams Lambos are better than last time... good !

Fab · 19 Sep 2004, 09:31 (Ref:1100687)

I watched the start of the race on the telly : amazing !

Where is the Live timing ?

rdjones · 19 Sep 2004, 09:42 (Ref:1100693)

Just watching a bit of the live straming on the net and it looks like 1 of the Lamborghini Murcielago is in trouble.
