At Le Mans I think maximum 3 drivers, but Spa 24h 4 drivers. Last edited by FIRE; 23 Feb 2004 at 15:59. |

I believe I saw a few four driver teams at Le Mans last year. I'll have to go look to be sure though. I know the Daytona grid this year was littered with four-driver teams.
I looked, didn't see any four-driver teams from Le Mans last year. It was a quick scan though, so I may have missed it. Last edited by jhansen; 23 Feb 2004 at 16:10. |

Good to see the LMES will be screened in Japan, as shown on the BCR website.

Any chance of any Corvette turning up in the LMES.
GM seems to have completely missed the boat when it comes to selling customer cars. There must be 8 or so Prodrive 550s racing now, with the Official 575GTC also coming close to that number in less than a year on sale. |

Yes, I thought that, too. Chevrolet should have picked a good European sportscar team - someone like DAMS - and made their European semi-works squad, then tried to sell more Corvettes.

How big is the market for Corvettes in Europe though? I think if they had a semi-works team it ordipends if they are sure it will sell their cars, but if it was a totally private entry then I don't see why they have not sold more of their year old cars to private teams.

Well I have to say I was a little dismissive about Corvette road cars before the C5-R arrived, so they would do well to campaign some in the LMES and beat some Ferraris to improve there European image.
They should team up with someone like DAMS for a customer program. |

Jag - Dams have a deal in place with Care Racing to race Ferrari 550's. With assistance from Prodrive.

Not sure, havent heard any confirmation that a deal is in place with Labre for the LMES. Could well happen though.

I know Autosport said that - but again there hasnt been any announcement so nothing is set in stone. Dont count your chickens before they're hatched.

The only question is who will get the Care deal for the LMES as there are a number of interested parties. I don't care who runs the cars as long as they are there.

Maybe nobody will - Id have thought that a deal would have been done by now if this was the case. Time is running out, both for Care Racing and any potential teams, then of course they have to assemble suitable drivers.
