28 car grid, not bad at all.

Nice to see such a strong GT1 field. Lets hope the Aston Martin boys can make it 3 differnt winners from 3 rounds.

almzkid · 7 May 2005, 15:33 (Ref:1295136)

why only one car for Larbre????? The 3 drivers in that car Calderari/Bryner/zachiaa were adamant that they remain in the FIA series...what gives

TheNewBob · 8 May 2005, 14:32 (Ref:1295788)

Nice to see the G2/GT2 entries too - TVR, 2x360's and 3 Moslers - plus Embassy racing's Porsche - LNT vs Gruppe M - hell of a battle, that!

Just the variety we need after the Lambo news

woodyracing · 8 May 2005, 18:57 (Ref:1295943)

cant wait to see the Aston..

does anyone know if the paddock is open to the public on Friday testing ?

SALEEN S7R · 8 May 2005, 20:45 (Ref:1296037)

Labres Chance have improved signifcantly of getting another win IMO with the news that reigning FIA GT champion Fabrizio Gollin is joining the team partnering both Lamy and Gardel. There is no weak link in that team at the moment IMO, not even Gardel, sure hes not quite as fast as Lamy or Gollin but hes still defintly a very fast professional driver. Good news.

Gollin and Gardel will drive the car in Silverstone, Gollin won't partner Lamy as well. Gollin is in the car for the races that Lamy will do with Aston Martin.

We won't see Reiter anymore this year unless a paydriver steps in; Lamborghini gave them 2 options: Either receive a certain amount of money for the Murcielago development, meaning they'd have to hand over the cars to the factory, or keeping the cars and rights and not receive any money. Reiter chose for the latter in the hope to prove the car and get some sponsoring, but it didn't work out and there isn't enough funding to do the rest of the series.

Go to FIAGT official website, click on 'downloads' at the top of the homepage and you'll find the timetable at the bottom of the list. On track action starts 8am with the FIAGT warm up.

**Bentley03** · 9 May 2005, 10:27 (Ref:1296435)

Oh dear, I've just checked the weather forecast! Cold, wet and windy!!

**chunterer** · 9 May 2005, 11:25 (Ref:1296490)

Thanks for lead but I've tried that and the link appears to be broken??

Gardel is not a professional. He pays for his drives. The usual interpretation of professional and non-professional is either paying for or getting paid to drive

E. Becclestone · 9 May 2005, 11:56 (Ref:1296551)

Works fine for me. Have you got Adobe Acrobat installed properly?

FIAGT warm up 8 - 8:15
FIAGT race 10:15 - 13:15

WTCC warm up 8:25 - 8:40
WTCC race1 14:10 - 14:35
WTCC race2 15:15 - 15:40

Ferrari Challenge race2 16:20 - 17:10

Hopefully that gives you the basics.

**chunterer** · 9 May 2005, 13:36 (Ref:1296638)

That's brill, thanks very much.

Was hoping for bit more on support race side, but can't have everything!!

SALEEN S7R · 9 May 2005, 14:33 (Ref:1296695)

I agree Chunterer, would be nice to have a stronger support package. Something like the World series by Renault which has replaced the old Formula Renault V6 Eurocup, maybe that will happen soon, that series lacks strong partner series and the FIA GT/WTCC series would certainly welcome them I would imagine.

ss_collins · 10 May 2005, 12:02 (Ref:1297464)

how about a britsport support?

Graham Goodwin · 10 May 2005, 20:26 (Ref:1297783)

Never going to happen

SALEEN S7R · 10 May 2005, 20:39 (Ref:1297791)

World Series by Renault however is a distinct possibilty. The series has the same aims and aspirations of both the FIA GT and WTCC.

BSchneiderFan · 11 May 2005, 19:22 (Ref:1298577)

So, to ask again, why only one Larbre car? Funding problems? Does this mean they're down to one car for the rest of the season?

Jeffrey-Lee · 11 May 2005, 20:06 (Ref:1298606)

I think they'll just skip this round because Lamy is driving the AM in their (probably) one of appearance in FIA GT this year.

SALEEN S7R · 11 May 2005, 20:35 (Ref:1298631)

I think Jeffery has hit the nail on the head, im hoping for 2 Labre entries from the Spa 24hrs onwards. Having said that though there has been rumors of late that Aston Martin may well enter the Spa 24hrs too so Labre would need to find another driver as Lamy Woudnt be available. Still, id rather have 2 Aston Martin's on the grid and 1 Labre 550 than 0 Aston Martin's and 2 Labre 550s.

TheNewBob · 11 May 2005, 20:41 (Ref:1298636)

AM are entering one or two rounds later on in the year too, aren't they? Or am I getting mixed up again?

Osella · 11 May 2005, 20:43 (Ref:1298640)

If I'm lucky I can escape work on friday at noon and get to see the second free practice session for free.... otherwise family commitments (big bro's 40th) keep me from the race... to repeat an earlier question will the paddock be open? or more especially, do they bother posting a guard on friday?? will anything be open at all (the bar)(?)
also, on a friday, can one drive thru' th' main gate to park??

I'm surprised that Calderari / Byrner / Zacchia aren't racing at Silverstone. These are all well-heeled, extremely so in Calderari's case, pay-drivers.

Perhaps Calderari and Bryner are potential partners for Patrice Gouselard at Le Mans and funds are being diverted for this event??
