Awesome. Man, so they're using a variant of the Toyota 6 cylinder engine that is in the road car? Or something different?

agrees a lot,he is the only Porsche Factory Driver list READING as one of his interests,he did lots of things besides GT race i guess.

anyway,i think Raymond Narac is another successful example,he is the founder of IMSA Matmut as well as Porsche Rouen,also,he used to be an Porsche engineer and have rich Porsche engineering experiences .Indeed,his excellent performance even absorb teams like Muehlner pay him for some pace with Porsche in other races.I can hardly remember how many times he stood at the podium of Porsche Cup held at the end of each year.

I am not all that much into endurance racing, but reading this long thread leads me to ask..Where do teams actually shop for a decent diesel engine for a LMP1 chassis ?

It seems that only Audi and Peugeot are making a serious effort to persue the diesel way, and I just can´t imagine that they may be the only providers of that type of engine in the racing industry ??

Acid09 · 25 Dec 2010, 19:41 (Ref:2808420)

There is no privateer LMP1 Diesel engine as far as I know, the only non-works Diesel outfit I can remember is the Taurus Caterpillar thing back in 2004.

Victor_RO · 25 Dec 2010, 19:46 (Ref:2808421)

The only potential customer diesel engine could have been WR's Peugeot-based engine, but it looks like that's on hold and the team will probably race the car in P2 again with a new-for-P2 engine. However, Oreca had a deal with Peugeot to use the 2011-spec engine in the Oreca 02 LMP1 project... unfortunately, that project seems to be on hold and has been for months.

Will all be represented in the ILMC though, the Jag, Ford and Lambo seem unlikely.

If there's a Lambo in the ALMS, then we should have a Lambo in each ILMC round... that is if the Gulf Team First project keeps plugging along next year in the LMS.

The project is unfortunatley cancelled, and the Peugeot engine there was going to be used was a petrol engine, meaning that Peugeot would develop both a petrol and diesel. The petrol however has never been mentioned since the demisse of the new Oreca prototype.

I read it as two cars in the LMS, and only one in the ILMC (non-LMS) rounds with the second car being added solely for Le Mans.

The partnership of Toyota and Rebellion Racing is already known... ILMC: one car, LMS: two cars

I'm aware of this. The ILMC announcement is news to me, however.
As for the 2x entries...excitement took over momentarily.

Canada ALMS fan · 12 Jan 2011, 19:28 (Ref:2814886)

The ACO has Jan 19 listed as the entry deadline for the LMS, has anyone heard the deadline for the ILMC?

courageous · 12 Jan 2011, 19:55 (Ref:2814902)

Would be one & the same surely - Le Mans being part of the ILMC (or am I being recklessly logical in the face of tha ACO?)

Except factory entries are not allowed in the ILMC and a couple of teams have declared their intent to do ILMC but not LMS.

carsten66 · 12 Jan 2011, 22:07 (Ref:2814973)

OAK Racing with three cars on he grid in the ILMC, two LM P1 and one LM P2 car, one of the LM P1 machines exclusively with Pros...

Starting to sound really promising. Interesting that they are hoping to attract a manufacturer. If anyone was interested in getting an engine in an LMP similar to Aston and Toyota then OAK wouldn't be a bad idea for 2012/13.

**Bentley03** · 13 Jan 2011, 05:50 (Ref:2815085)

Just read the (Oak Racing) detail on DSC.......very ambitious!

One of the cars entered just for development purposes.
Looking to align themselves with a manufacturer in the near future.
Testing with hybrid power and a future LMP1 coupe both being assessed.

We hear so many 'plans' from a multitude of teams, but for some reason, I find Oak's 'plans' to be credible and more likely to come to fruition than not.

James thats probably because the record shows that what they say they will do they usually do - unlike some other teams.

Lets hope their hopes of manufacturer alignment comes true as that is a holy grail for an independent race team.

Yep, very true. They are a great asset to our sport. And, Nicolet's (and his mates) gesture to Henri will forever make them 'good guys' and fan favourites. Long may they continue in endurance!

JAG · 13 Jan 2011, 17:15 (Ref:2815310)

AF Corsa

2x 458
1x 430
1x Lola-BMW (LMS
