The THREE 908s(factory) will be there

Oh yes I forget and a third Audi

[Deleted]

Labre Porsche might participate as well, as dress rehearsal for Le Mans. Along others.

[GT6]

I do hope that we have field of that sort of quality, already booked hotel 500 yards from the track, so only 3 months to go,

Spa is the best warm up for Le mans for the cars and it's not bad for me.

[courageous]

Seems crazy that Le Mans itself could have a lower car count than 4 of its supporting rounds in the ILMC.

Spa has 42 garages and is limited to 51 cars.

[MarkLMS]

you forgot the old pit garages, which were used last year aswell

[isynge]

Can we, at this stage, assume that the Spa round is going to be on the 8th and the comment from Endurance Sportscar (retweeted by Matthieu Lahaye) on twitter that the ACO were trying to shift the date to the 7th was a red herring?

The ACO are looking to try and run the Spa round of the #ILMC on Saturday so that the race doesn't conflict with the F1 race that weekend

While the Ardennes are nice I'd be really annoyed to show up on the wrong day!

Looking at the Le Mans entry list, I'd guess Prospeed might run their second car at Spa- 2nd reserve on the LM entry list, and Spa is their home race

Similarly, if the Kronos Lola-Aston for Vanina Ickx turns up anywhere now that they only got a reserve slot for LM, I reckon it would be at Spa?

There are not 42 F1 garages at the top

[MarkLMS]

i know but last year there around 51 cars in both of the pit garages but there were i think 20 boxes of more left, so place enough

[Lola T70]

Sorry Mark you are missing a little of what I mean.

There are only 42 garages in total and that includes the F1 garages. There might have been 20 free garages last year because multi car teams use 1 garage for 2 cars on the top paddock but in total there can still only be 51 cars for the race.

I'm pretty sure that in 2009 there were only 5-6 fewer cars than in 2010 and they only used the F1 pitlane. And also, Imola is a smaller circuit with a smaller pitlane than the combined Spa pitlane and they'll be limiting their grid to 53 cars.

[Lola T70]

Imola may be limiting to 53 cars. Each track has a different limit on maximum number of cars due category, track and paddock facilities.

Spa currently has a limit for this race to 51 cars and I am wondering how they will sort out who gets in.

Dutch Supercar has run close to 80 cars at Spa - if with the predictable results. I could only imagine that this is a relatively recent change, perhaps even in response to the DSC fracas.

I think there has always been this 51 car count limit for this level of category performance certainly in the last 5-7 years.

[MarkLMS]

ok then i just hope there will be more cars allowed this year.

It is most likely FIA safety related and so unlikely to change I presume.

Well, the N24 has had 280 cars running not too long ago while the Nurbys pitlane can only take something like 50 cars only too. With some improvisation
and thankfully getting rid of the Haug-nose for some extended pits it is always possible to fit a circuit with more cars than pitboxes.

For what it is worth, I am fairly certain that the amount of cars that is allowed to take part in a race meeting is defined in one or another FIA rule. I am fairly certain that I once read about it, that is.

For the 24 in Nurburgring several teams share 1 garage and wait in line for refuelling!!! We do not want that in ILMC, can you imagine?

It is, I would say, mostly circuit safety that is taken into account, not just pit boxes, and the FIA do determine it for tracks, certainly on ILMC calendar.

From the Spa 1000km 2010 supplementary Regulations:

3.12 - Number of cars admitted:

- Qualifying practice sessions: 77

- Race : 64

(http://www.race-rally.be/images//Supplementary%20regulations%20-%201000Km%20of%20Spa%202010%20-%20GB.pdf)

same this year I'll suppose.

True, it is based on the length of the track and the duration of the race, in both cases: the longer, the more cars allowed to take the start.

Which means we could have a whole load of extra cars at Le Mans!

The LMS website where I got a maximum of 51 cars from says it is the same for 2011.

Supplementary regs will be correct though.
