L.P.

LNT are not happy with the performance of the Panoz, this is a fact. And Tomlinson's smile and comments in Silverstone were for me a sign of intention. It all boils down now to whether this is part of the many projects that LNT and Zytek are working on together.

Anyone else care to put the GT2 list together. All I've heard are two new 2008 Spykers on Motors TV.

Embassy racing to buil their own LMP1 with zytek engine(thats going to be a success.)

Marcel ten Caat · 1 Nov 2007, 14:30 (Ref:2056951)

Err...Embassy Racing will focus on LMP2 first. So the list is correct.

**Bentley03** · 1 Nov 2007, 19:18 (Ref:2057150)

Big John Nielsen back with a Spyder in 2008?

If DSC's interpretation of a story in Autosport is correct, Big John will be back next year with Essex Invest backing and an RS Spyder, Le Mans Series and Le Mans (entry permitting, although I can't believe the ACO would turn the big man down).

Fantastic news!

brielga · 1 Nov 2007, 21:32 (Ref:2057245)

so this could be the 3rd Spyder everyone's looking for. Or maybe a Lola coupe????

I thought Racing Box was moving to LMP2 with a Lucchini? Randaccio also is missing from the list as is John Nielsen. And please put a big question mark next to that Charouz entry....

Not sure - that Racing Box Saleen entry could be awry, the car they had this year was owned (and run?) by ORECA. That plus Brielga's comment that Racing Box are looking to move up to P2 with a Lucchini.

Subaru_WRX_STi · 2 Nov 2007, 18:52 (Ref:2058118)

thats why on MotorsTV I always see Oreca technicians in the Racing Box...Box lol !

lol, that may well have something to do with it, yeah!

kingkai · 2 Nov 2007, 21:11 (Ref:2058184)

At the LMS Spa race this year, all the RacingBox toolboxes had Oreca on them

Oreca are selling this winter All their Saleens, so maybe also the Racing Box one?... It was updated by Oreca etc.

minimangler · 8 Nov 2007, 16:33 (Ref:2063143)

I would think so, Oreca could sell it too racing box, perhaps?

The Badger · 8 Nov 2007, 19:12 (Ref:2063260)

I heard that 2 of the Oreca S7R's are heading back across the pond .

There was a Rafanelli rumour doing the rounds awhile back ?

Followed by a Rafanelli rumour containing the terms 'would run in the ALMS again' and 'over his dead body' after meetings supposedly took place at La Sarthe in June.

JAG · 10 Nov 2007, 13:18 (Ref:2064296)

Rumour on DSC Peugeot may skip the LMS for selected ALMS rounds if Audi do not compete in Europe..............which we all expect, so bit of a non story lol.

**FIRE** · 10 Nov 2007, 20:17 (Ref:2064613)

Belgian team Trading Performance will enter a Zytek LMP2 in LMS next season. This season the team entered Renaults Meganes for Halliday/Gosselin and Fumal/Schroyen in BTCS. Tuesday they will test at Magny-Cours.
Source: Pitstop TV

Is this the Zytek wich was used by Fernandez/Lowe's and LNT?

So after one year of absence Gosselin is back in a proto. Is TP the same team who were behind Paul Belmondo Racing?

It might be, because I know that Zytek had sold the Fernandez/Lowe's and LNT car.

Why? They don't even sell cars over there. Won't happen.

JAG · 11 Nov 2007, 02:11 (Ref:2064752)

Well, I think the point is the major ALMS events have international significance, Peugeot are expected at Sebring, and some say PLM and Laguna also, in addition to the LMS.

According Pitstop TV it's indeed the same car. Good choice!

On the other side. What can Audi win in Europe? They are already selling lots of diesel cars here and have the DTM that fits in their marketing strategy.

Lots of pros and cons. I guess we'll know it all within a month from now.
