2006 LMS entries....... - Page 15

**Bentley03** · 27 Jan 2006, 23:40 (Ref:1510504)

Looking at the 'History' page of Beppe's website, I see Jamie and Nic are listed as part of the Creation driver lineup for 2006, so it does look like Creation have achieved their aim to run two cars in the LMS this year.

I think Shimoda will stick with the 2nd Zytek entry as long as it gets in.......otherwise perhaps a GT1 Aston.............who knows!

russ250575 · 28 Jan 2006, 00:42 (Ref:1510536)

Has there been any news on what Pescaralo are doing this year ? all the chat seems to be Zytek,Creation and RFH..

Expect one Pescarolo Hybrid in the LMS and a pair at Le Mans (same as last year).

Ara-Shimoda would be sweet but I see Shimoda more probably in the 2nd Zytek. Since the Dome is a top piece of machinery Ara seems a good fit...any bets for the 3rd name? Kaneishi? Bleekemolen? Wallace?

I'd agree about Shimoda. John Bosch is the first name that springs to mind for a seat in the RFH Dome. But he tends to appear just in time for Le Mans so perhaps not a LMS regular! I suppose Verstappen is out of the question?

mikmx · 28 Jan 2006, 12:46 (Ref:1510714)

Maybe Jos is an option didn't he did a lot of F1 testing some years ago for Honda?

Shimoda back to single seaters:

For RfH I think Bosch (only Le Mans?), Bleekemolen and of course Lammers are the biggest candidates. I also expect a Japanese driver because of the Dome factory status and the Mugen engine. I don't think we see Verstappen in the Dome.

Graham Goodwin · 28 Jan 2006, 14:47 (Ref:1510760)

I think you might expect a possible 2 x Japanese drivers

So two of last years Dome trio (Michigami/Kaneishi/Ara) must be favourites. Can we expect a full LMS season from RFH/Dome, or is that still up in the air?

Did these Japanese drivers bring money to the Gainer team?

I have no idea. But if a pair of Japanese co-pilots was part of the Dome/RFH deal, then these three would appear to be likely candidates since they were part of the Dome factory effort last year. But I'm only speculating.........

It wouldnt surprise me to see Nova engineering trying to get an entry for Le Mans or the factory running one for them , maybe with Shimoda . Just a thought .

RfH will run the factory hybrid Dome. Or do you mean a car of another manufacturer?

JAG · 28 Jan 2006, 20:32 (Ref:1510897)

Nova have bought the factory Zytek for the JLMS.

It wouldn't harm them to put in a Le Mans entry and hope for the best.

Makes no sense. The car would then need to be hybridised, either to LMP2 with the existing engine, or to LMP1 which would mean changing the engine aswell. If a Le Mans entry was part of their plans for 2006, they surely wouldn't have bought the Zytek in it's current configuration.

IIRC entries are closed, we now wait until after Sebring to see if there are 15 or 20 Courages accepted...

They could always run the second factory hybrid, afterall Zytek want 2 entries, but they are not guaranteed.

An extra Zytek entry increases the chances of being picked, especially a Japanease entry.

Im thinking that if there is a second factory entry for Le Mans , then maybe Zytek may run the car for Nova the same as they are running a car for Essex Invest . It wouldnt surprise me , there is a lot of interest in Japan , especially with their new championship for this year ..... a little more international flavour .

I took Jag's post at 'face value' without allowing for your original post which implied Nova could take the second factory entry (if it's forthcoming!). So ignore what I said. I do in fact agree with you (and Jag).

It seems as though it will be only Horag running the B05/40, sanz Lista and Lienhard. I'll post that change in my next update.

Francesco · 30 Jan 2006, 22:00 (Ref:1512243)

there should be 2 Lucchini in LMP2, 1 for SCi (Randaccio) and one for Lucchini "factory team"

Unfortunately it was recently confirmed that the Lucchini factory team sold their car to Randaccio, and that the factory will not race in 2006.

Francesco · 31 Jan 2006, 07:29 (Ref:1512484)

where did you read that? i remember reading that the plans for Lucchini were to sell the car to randaccio and build another one to race it...
