Joest is the only team that I could see running the R10s. Audi UK could probably get R10s, but I don't think that they are interested.

The Badger · 24 Oct 2007, 18:19 (Ref:2050461)

Audi Sport UK is not a team though , is it ?

Was it not somebody else running under the Audi Sport UK banner ? ..... much like Champion Racing running under Audi Sport North America .

The359 · 24 Oct 2007, 18:25 (Ref:2050468)

Arena Motorsport was the original "silver/green" Audi Sport UK if I remember correctly.

Wasn't it Arena? And just as a tie-in; it was the Arena Zytek at Laguna that was said during the broadcast to possibly have an Audi powerplant next year. What if it is not an engine in the Zytek at all but a whole car instead (R-10)?????

The Badger · 24 Oct 2007, 18:36 (Ref:2050483)

I thought Arena was the Gulf - Johansson Audi too ?

Francesco · 24 Oct 2007, 18:39 (Ref:2050485)

the Gulf car was Arena... probably even the silver-green one... the latest silver-violet cars where raced by VeloqX

The359 · 24 Oct 2007, 18:48 (Ref:2050496)

Johansson's Gulf cars were run by Arena?

I suspect Mr B may be confusing Barazi-Epsilon with Epsilon Euskadi (LMP1 Coupe's x2)?

The Badger · 30 Oct 2007, 10:57 (Ref:2054759)

Yep .....
Any word about that Indian Courage project or has the money gone south to the ex Spyker team ?

I'm sure I read somewhere that this would happen in 2008. However, the Oreca/Courage deal may have put paid to that. Not sure.......

brielga · 30 Oct 2007, 11:54 (Ref:2054815)

I would say Bentley is right, Oreca's takeover should have put that one to sleep.

Justin Moran · 30 Oct 2007, 12:41 (Ref:2054856)

Wouldnt be too sure on the LNT Zytek either, unless I've missed something the entry at Silverstone was a one off. I'd love to be wrong but Im fairly sure it was to showcase the boys talents!

The Badger · 30 Oct 2007, 13:10 (Ref:2054889)

They have already said that they were not interested in running Panoz's again unless there is some significant developement done .

A logical next step would be LMP2 , they have proven they are capable of running the car ..... would be nice though .

minimangler · 30 Oct 2007, 13:15 (Ref:2054899)

I can see LNT with a Zytek, they have experience, drive and money, plus a bucketload (and more) of talent to fill the seats.

All very true, and I suspect Lawrence is putting so much in to the Ginetta G50 program that he wont have time to dally with the Panoz marketing anyway!

Even though I think the Panoz is done. There is the statement of the commentators during the Laguna race that "PTG will be back with a reworked Panoz Esperante next year". Will this be enough for LNT to stay with it? Or is this just stop gap for PTG until a BMW is available? ??........

Be nice to see it back for varity's sake but i think their ****ing in the wind with respect to other competition .

"My" Team, the Portuguese Quifel ASM will continue on LMP2 class acordindg to the Team Director Antonio Simões.

here is an article on portuguese news website sportmotores.com

Despite António Simões said publicly that the ASM Team next season could make the leap to the category LMP1, the Portuguese team will remain in the class LMP2. Miguel Pais do Amaral chose to remain faithful to his Lola B05/40 and not left to seduce the super-competitive, and also super-expensive, Porsche RS Spyder.

The connection between the national structure and the small builder Lola Cars International Ltd has been pródiga in successes and as such will so for the third consecutive season. In what has SportMotores.com determine, the largest news team of António Simões for 2008 could be in the engine, since the Portuguese training is examining a number of possibilities without descorar the block AER that used in the last two seasons.

The Lola B05/40 is now being dismantled in the workshops of ASM Team and not returned to the slopes to test this year. Meanwhile, Lola Cars is preparing to test for the first time in December the B08/60 LMP1 Coupe.

I wonder if this could be the first Mazda engined LMP2 in Europe?
