From what I understand, and Graham, maybe able to answer this better, we may see a couple of private entries, from teams such as Xero Competition and I did read somewhere that there is a team from Belgium are looking to enter a car too.

What happened or is going to happen to the Selleslagh Corvette C5R that raced in Belcar this year? Last i heard it was for sale

Carsport Belgium / Ecurie GT (?) bought the car ...

Yeh theres something about Carsport Belgium over on DSC, it says they intend to buy a Pratt & Miller Corvette C5-R. Is that the same one Selleslaghs used this year because if it is and he is involved in the new team he won't have to buy it or will he be buying a new one?

Did Selleslaghs actually own the Vette they used this year himself?- the advertisement for the car on DSC (which is still on the site at present) gives Marc Vannerum as the contact for prospective buyers (I've got a vague memory of reading somewhere that he owned the car)

I'm sure I saw a piece in Autosport this week on the new team which if I read it correctly implied they may be buying a new C5R from P&M?

Has Carsport Belgium links with Carsport Holland/Hezemans?

You're right, Marc Vannerum is the sole owner of the Corvette. Selleslagh is the owner of the SRT (Selleslagh Racing) team which fielded the car. The reason why the car is being sold in the first place is because Vannerum has to stop racing for a while.

Duffacus · 2 Jan 2004, 13:50 (Ref:825711)

I think Carsport Belgium is a completly different team to Carsport Holland

Graham Goodwin · 2 Jan 2004, 18:41 (Ref:825859)

It is a completely different team from Carsport Holland.

cybersdorf · 2 Jan 2004, 20:20 (Ref:825907)

Which makes one wonder why they called themselves that.

SALEEN S7R · 2 Jan 2004, 20:40 (Ref:825926)

Yes it does seem a little odd dosent it, perhaps they are big Carsport Holland fans.

So is the Vannerum car still for sale?- if Selleslagh hasn't bought this one and is buying one from P&M, then potentially there may be a chance of seeing another Vette out there if someone else picks up the Vannerum car- let's hope so- I'd have thought it would be a fairly attractive option for anyone looking at the GTS class in LMES.....

HJC · 3 Jan 2004, 11:06 (Ref:826374)

Selleslagh is going to buy/ has bought a new P&M Corvette. Vannerum's Corvette is still for sale so it's possible to see 2 Corvette's in LMES. Patrick Selleslagh and Patrick Slaus have founded a new team, called Carsport Belgium. Some people aren't really happy with this choice of name...

Evil Fuzzy · 3 Jan 2004, 11:39 (Ref:826390)

I just read (over at www.pitstop.tv) they're planning to enter belcar, Spa 24 hours and LMES. Both Patricks know the Corvette (Selleslagh drove one last year and Slaus was responsible for the chassis at SRT), but they don't seem to be planning to drive it themselves. They're talking to some of Belgiums finest drivers: Kurt Mollekens, Marc Goossens, Vincent Vosse and Fred Bouvy.

The Badger · 4 Jan 2004, 20:53 (Ref:827643)

Goossens ..... now there is a good idea !!! How about Eric van de Poele too . That would be a seriously quick car then .

JAG · 5 Jan 2004, 16:51 (Ref:828503)

Hi, and a late happy new year!

Anyone put together an updated list of possible LMES entrants?

Tim Northcutt · 5 Jan 2004, 18:43 (Ref:828617)

Glad to see the name Marc Goossens finally show up again on someone's driver list...

The guy is downright fast in this type of racing...

But I'd rather see him in a prototype...and R&S prototype, to be specific...

I have just uploaded an update entry list to my site.

Tim Northcutt · 5 Jan 2004, 22:15 (Ref:828867)

Based on the list:

R&M is going to come back for 2004???

That's interesting news....

That car is the R&S MkIIIB that they made revisions to, isn't it????

Will it pass the homologation rule??? Did R&S file the paperwork on it???

Just wondering....

rdjones · 5 Jan 2004, 23:08 (Ref:828935)

Not really sure, I picked up the information from DSC. It was just on a list of possible prototype entries, which they posted just before christmas.

JAG · 6 Jan 2004, 01:46 (Ref:829057)

Regarding the Corvettes. Arn't Xero building 2 of there self developed GT spec C5s for a new team that will compete in British GTs and the LMES.

Also any news on the 'works' Vauxhall Monero' that is supposedly destined for British GTs and possibly LMES. They didn't do to badly in the Bathurst 24HR.

Finally are any of the British GT TVR/Morgan teams planning on entering the LMES?

JAG · 6 Jan 2004, 02:27 (Ref:829078)

Oh, and now we know Pesca will be using the Judd 5l, any news on his program and whether he will run 1 or 2 cars.

Also are Nasamax still persisting with converting there Reynard to 2004 spec, or are they going to run a 2004 spec Lola or such like. Afterall they have just changed engines from there Cosworth V8 to a Judd V10.

jhansen · 6 Jan 2004, 05:20 (Ref:829130)

Where did you hear about Pescarolo switching to Judd power? I think I missed something. Do you have a link for that JAG?

Graham confirmed, and RDJones too, based on DSC news ; I confirmed too on a french basis (Jérôme Mugnier).
