LMS Rnd1: Istanbul 7-9 Apr 2006 - Page 2

JAG · 6 Apr 2006, 22:36 (Ref:1572652)

I'm quessing it's not ready.

The cars don't even have their final aero package yet.

Osella · 7 Apr 2006, 10:05 (Ref:1572951)

Is there live web video coverage? apologies if that's been asked (and answered) somewhere else...

**Bentley03** · 7 Apr 2006, 12:17 (Ref:1573050)

Live timing should be here!!! But it isn't...........

..........wonder if Graham can get Malcolm to have a friendly word with those responsible!

Bentley03: I think Istanbul is a different time zone, so the free practice has not started

**Bentley03** · 7 Apr 2006, 12:39 (Ref:1573072)

Lister drivers are not as previously announced. Courtesy of DSC, the car will be driven by Justin Keen, Jens Moller and Nicolas Kiesa (the Kiesa deal was only completed this morning).

I must have missed something (I often do!

).

I'd assumed the timetable was based on local time in Istanbul. On that basis, they are two hours ahead of the UK. Free practice started (starts) at 15:00 which should equate to 13:00 in the UK (it's now about 13:50). Where have I gone wrong?

Sorry, you are correct: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=107

So the live timing on the LMS website is not functioning

It's nice to be correct every once in a while!

But it doesn't explain why free practice now appears to be underway with fully functioning live timing!!

LC2guy · 7 Apr 2006, 13:51 (Ref:1573129)

Jeees, the Radical is 4th , only 1.3 secs off the Creation. Pescarolo over 2 seconds quicker than the Creation and wiss Courage though.

The Badger · 7 Apr 2006, 14:08 (Ref:1573149)

That little pilbeam is quick , i didnt think it would be so quick .

**Bentley03** · 7 Apr 2006, 14:09 (Ref:1573151)

bloody hell that radical is quick, meajorly dissapointed at RFH though i was expecting them to be on the front row but their race pace is always better thabn their qualifying pace so lets see how it will turn out when the test if endurance starts i think pescarolo may come out on top but the creation LMP will be the pace setter at the start of the race for sure despite pescarolo qualifying on pole nic minassian will probably be the quickest driver but my money is on pescarolo, they have the reliable car as well as the fast one and this makes them pretty good for the win but we shall see how it turns out and it will be nice to see the radicals also finishing by winning their LMP2 category on their debut

ss_collins · 7 Apr 2006, 14:32 (Ref:1573167)

The 'alien' is a rocketship!

ss_collins · 7 Apr 2006, 14:34 (Ref:1573168)

will the race be streamed live?

**Bentley03** · 7 Apr 2006, 14:36 (Ref:1573171)

The most interesting factor for me is the number of times the word 'Judd' appears at the sharp end of that list. Sure, it's only the first free practice session of the first race of the series, but even so.........

**Dani Filth** · 7 Apr 2006, 14:46 (Ref:1573179)

so the Swiss Courage has a Judd engien ?/. is it the same engine as Pescarolo ??

Graham Goodwin · 7 Apr 2006, 14:47 (Ref:1573182)

Impressive so far from the radical but I would just point out that this time is 6 seconds shy of Guy Smith's P2 pole time last season - Early days yet

We've got two more one hour free practice sessions tomorrow followed by qualifying, then we'll know who's on pole. I think you got a bit ahead of yourself there...........

mirkob · 7 Apr 2006, 14:49 (Ref:1573187)

I hope the RS-line have problem,
I cant see the Murci R-GT 4 seconds slower then the best Porsche GT2 :-(

The Radical heads LMP2 by two seconds in the first practise session. Hard to draw any conclusions, but the car certainly is showing that it has some potential.

They only did 11 laps, while the other GT1 car did 20+ laps.

I think it is safe to say that the Radical is faster than the Courage, Pilbeam and Lucchini. It can challenge the RML Lola for victory in LMP2 if they can get it to the finish.
