2006 LMS entries....... - Page 6

The fact that Chamberlain has an auto entry for the 24hrs next year should make this a good bet.

Not sure if it will be all girl all year but anything that gets the press interested is good in my opinion.

Assuming the track was dry, and the 2006 restrictor was applied, it would be fascinating to find out what sort of lap times the car was putting in......?

Don't forget the auto-entry is (theoretically) not transferable between classes.

I guess the existing Berridge car in LMP2 and a new LMP1 for the girls is not beyond the bounds of possibility...

JAG · 17 Nov 2005, 19:17 (Ref:1463401)

Isn't that quote regarding 2005, hence the lack of Audi comment?

Since Silverstone I've seen comments about an LMP2.

Ive just seen pics of the new Lola B06/10 on DSC . It looks very similar to a B05/40 to me . Same with the Courage C60 Hybrid and the C65 ..... they all look the same as their bigger brothers . Something needs to be done with the rules to change that . I think its terrible to see a LMP1 and LMP2 car from the same stable look similar , and from the back they "all" look the same ..... HANGIN !!!

"

Apart from a bit of wishful thinking about Audi it seems a runner...

The link to the Times story is Here (possibly subscription needed)

Thanks for that link... initially the project was bound for LMP2, interesting that Chamberlain would put this line-up in an LMP1 car as opposed to LPM2. I guess its just further proof as to what marriage can do to you!

If that were the case, I would've asked my girlfriend to marry me a long time ago... it would help her out and me as well. We get married (plus for her) and I get to drive a P1 (plus for me).

Splendid Cat · 17 Nov 2005, 23:10 (Ref:1463606)

If you ask the bulk of the nuptially-bound male population, nothing, but nothing is worth getting married for...

Haha, now thats a quote for ya!

The Badger · 22 Nov 2005, 11:00 (Ref:1467292)

Thats the impression im getting ..... what am I going to do now !!!

tblincoe · 22 Nov 2005, 14:48 (Ref:1467510)

Back on topic, I'm suprised nobody's asked just what became of the Jim Gainer Dome S101-H project... anybody know?

JAG · 22 Nov 2005, 15:28 (Ref:1467532)

Its basically the works car so I doubt we'll see it again, unless RFH get one.

Dome will more than likely move onto their new LMP1.

BTW, we know of the two car Creation rumours, but isn't their some thought they could be two different chassis?

One a hybrid, plus a new LMP1?

Correct........

However, I have a theory!

tblincoe · 22 Nov 2005, 16:19 (Ref:1467579)

At this point I have to believe the Creation situation is that they will run the hybrid DBA next year, and they HOPE to run a second car as well... we all know how that usually pans-out.

Sorry, I forgot to say what my theory was (and trust me, it has no foundation that I'm aware of)!

But, there's a very 'Green' KWM built chassis with Judd GV5 power currently lying idle here...........

I think its more than hope at this stage.

Thats why they've been testing drivers who can bring funding to the team.

Due to past history, teams who are traditionally one-car efforts and are looking to expand to two cars get placed firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it category".

ger80 · 22 Nov 2005, 18:15 (Ref:1467685)

whats about pilbeam? they announced something about more cars in 06 on there homepage. is it possible to install an AER engine?

Is it possible that they need pay drivers for the existing one-car entry? Afterall, they will need to fund the construction of the hybrid not to mention next year's race budget.

TWK · 22 Nov 2005, 18:54 (Ref:1467716)

Based on what I have heard so far, I am not yet convinced that the coming Zytek will be a hybrid.

**Bentley03** · 23 Nov 2005, 10:10 (Ref:1468160)

Just seen on DSC that Luc Alphand will campaign a Corvette next season. It's unclear whether it will be a C5-R or C6.R but the picture shows an artists impression of a liveried C6.R. Great news!

mgrs · 23 Nov 2005, 11:08 (Ref:1468201)

The Zytek will be Hybrid and there will be two of them.

Creation are def building one hybrid, and subject to potential buyers will build a second chassis if they get a buyer for it. No one there has suggested a 2 car team to me yet

So does that mean the second chassis will be the Jota one? And where will they race, one LMS and one ALMS?

Chassis 1 - The "Works/Arena" Zytek in the LMS, LeMans and like this year some ALMS.

Chassis 2 - Team Jota in the LMS, LeMans (looking into some ALMS races - ill keep you posted) (To really stir things up, a 2 car team is being looked into (dreampt about), but not for a while - with lots of car/engine options being looked into - far to many to be listed here)
