After Monza, Spa and Nürburgring i'm going to set my personal record to 4 races in one season. I'll have to try to get to Barcelona as well next year.

Strakka will be unveiling a striking new livery for the DBR9 at Silverstone, with glossy black paintwork contrasting strongly with white lettering and prominent Relentless branding, according to Planet Le Mans.
In other words they haven't repainted the car since it raced at Le Mans. Tom. |

What, like relentless whining (from everyone else) that their Aston is slower than the others? I hope it's very black- the original Phoenix one was MEGA in all black. http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-05-07-005.jpg Last edited by minimangler; 1 Sep 2008 at 18:09. |

Hopefully!
I love black racecars, and I think that it would look cool with an allblack livery. |

Strakka were at Snett last week testing both cars - the Aston and BMW - you are right its very black!
Have not been to the 1000km for several years but will be going this year with my young son to give him his first taste of LMS racing. Was sorting out some boxes in my loft the other day and found a lot of photo's from the 70's Sliverstone Endurance racing - Jacky Ickx in the Martini Porsche 935, Ronnie Peterson in the BMW etc - those were the days !!! But I must admit I looking forward to seeing the LMP1 cars in full song !! |

Not quite , I do appreciate timetables , I work on airplanes and we work to strict timetables every day , but also I am not a monkey to be put on exhibition . People should understand that too .
I look in the garages , from the outside and "never" get in the way of the folks who are doing the job . Its just a show of respect is all . |

Yes, but with all this f***ing walls in the back of the garage you see nothing else than the wall if you are not allowed to walk in the pit lane.

I will never forget the races in Spa 2004 or so in the old pit building. Nobody was able to use wall due to lack of space

Only 1 LAA Vette?? I thought the Ollies were gonna be in the 73. With the championship on the line, they really need that 2nd car in there!

Looks like RML will debut a coupe at Silverstone - most interesting to my eyes they're claiming 75% commonality with the previous car, which suggests that it's perhaps not as overbearing a change to shift to this sort of body shape.

Looking at photos of the car in prep (on DSC) I'm again struck by how small the LMP2 Lola seems. The Speedy car for some reason looks like a smaller package than its Charouz LMP1 stablemate, which I'm sure is an optical illusion but odd none the less. Perhaps something to do with how vertical the A pillars are? Next year in LMP2 could be really interesting - especially with a crack squad like RML having their '09 car on the track already and with potentially a degree of fading away of the Porsche effort. I'll also be fascinated to see if the B08/60 or variants thereof end up being practically the UK's best selling car - there could be lots and lots of them around next year. |
