With RLM be covering this race at all? I'd assume not. Any word on TV coverage either?

I notice that text there lists a DBRS9 entered in the GTC category. Wonder who that could be?

I seem to recall that there will be RLM coverage, but don't quote me on that.

RLM were trying to work on something, but it has gone quiet.

Motors TV will show the race full "as live" at a sensible hour on Sunday.

Really? Now, that is great news! I was expecting to see just the usual 50-minute Eurosport highlight package with that dreadful Mr. Kirby!

About RLM. Weren't they once saying that they could do Zhuhai like Hungaroring LMS race, from Britain?

Since Motors TV confirmed yesterday that their coverage will be differed, is there any chance we get a live stream of the action?

Also, since usual Live Timing & Scoring functions are assumed by respective organizers websites (LMS, ALMS), where will we have to look that one for?

I'd take a Motors TV feed that's delayed but not edited over just about anything else we are likely to get! Hell, it beats a Eurosport recap or even splitting the race up over several channels, which isn't very reasonable. If by some miracle I'm awake and free when the race is running however, I'll be pleased to listen to Hindy live.

Sure, but still...

There's nothing like watching the action live. And it's hard to sleep, knowing there's a titanic fight at the other end of the world. Furthermore, a delayed feed means there's no live timing support, which is annoying, especially whenever TV goes to a break.

But I agree it's still miles better than an Eurosport LMS (lack of) coverage.

I'm too lazy to browse these threads back, but are they planning to slow down the GT3 field at all? You know, in order to possibly prevent them from making GT2 (and the last remains of GT1) look like fools?

I hope this Motors TV deal for Zhuhai is a sign. I just REALLY, REALLY hope that ACO gives next year's ILMC/LMS broadcast rights to someone else than Eurosport. With the expection of 24 Hours.

FWIW, MotorsTV has just recently been dropped by one of the bigger cable providers in Germany - it wasn't all that widely available to begin with, but now it really has become a non-factor here... with Germany being the biggest market in Europe and Audi's home market, I am not sure if Motors would be the proper descision.

Provisional entry list is out. 27 cars, although there are a few things that seem wrong with the list.

No Hitotsuyama Aston Martin in GT1. Jaguar has 2 cars listed although Gentilozzi has now stated only 1 car will make the trip. 4 GTCs, 3 of which are Audis.

Fisichella will be sharing with Bruni, Darryl O'Young replaces Marco Holzer at Prospeed, and Alex Yoong joins the KK Performance GTC Audi!

the winner in P1,P2 and GT2 will be rewarded an 2011 LM24 entry

glad to see O'Young back to ProSpeed,he has lots of experiences with porsche(mostly with GT3 Cup) on this track.disappointed with the number of entries in GT2.isn't IMSA planned to race their 997 in China at the beginning of this year?

expect Henzler for #77 and Ragginger,Holzer for #88,likely Ried wont race this time like LM24 this year

All classes look a bit disappointing (albeit there are seven of them!), not much better than @ Okayama. But the list dates back to 15.9, so I'm not entirely convinced that's what we're gonna see...

There are no auto entries to Le Mans for class winners in this event, like last year at Okayama. It's only for the teams' championships in each category in the ILMC.

Henzler won't be part of lineup, he's still out after back surgery. I'd expect to see Richard Lietz, probably.. Or maybe Timo Bernhard.

yes,i nearly forget that,Henzler wont be available until next year

pretty sure Liez will race this time,the event is already on his racing-calendar,most likely with Lieb in #77http://www.richard-lietz.com/home.ct

anyway this race is going to be the only one in AsLMS this year,according to ACO,the winner in each class will get an automatically entry

what surprised me most is how the team classification in ILMC works,teams with 2 car get scores from all their classified car.so if AF Corse and CRS only race one car,Proton will race with no one but themself

Autosport said Level 5 were one of the teams who had discussions with Audi so perhaps they are gearing up for a Le Mans entry next year with another chassis and want to get on side with the ACO.

This level of entry is what happens when you don't have a strong regional support series. Think about that for a minute.

The bigger story is this round being supported on a factory level by Audi, Peugeot, Porsche, Ferrari, BMW and Jaguar despite late confirmation of the series and not exactly the best financial climate.

With the likes of ORECA moving up next year and Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mazda supplying at least engines I would expect grids around the forty car mark for the Asian rounds in 2011.

Asian ACO racing is not going to develop without a firm commitment and inclusion in a world series.

I'd like to hear opinions on one thing though: should the ACO think about running an invitational class for a few entries from, let's say, Super GT (particularly the GT500 class) for the Asian rounds of the ILMC, for a more... local flavour?
