Le Mans Series, Round 5: The Autosport 1000km of Silverstone
12-13-14 September (Can a mod add that to the title, I forgot)
www.lemans-series.com (Official site) www.silverstone.co.uk (Tickets etc) http://www.lemans-series.com/en/s52_....php?circuit=6 (entry list) www.radiolemans.com (Hindy) Sorry there aren't any colours! Simonsen to Strakka (leaving Gigwave one down at Brno?) Could be good, though I'm starting to wish it was anywhere but Silverstone, been there too often this year already! Only one title (congratulations Jos the Boss) has been decided, so it's gonna be good. It has a sponsor in the title, so let's hope to see some promotion, and those 30,000 that people keep whispering about Last edited by minimangler; 29 Aug 2008 at 11:38. |

Darren Turner is now driving for Strakka not Simonsen.
JWA using two different drivers in the Porsche compared to the other rounds this year: Peter Bamford & Matt Griffin (Paul Daniels is still the main driver). Also, Alan van der Merwe is still the only confirmed driver for the JWA Vantage GT2. Tom. |

Have any of you folks be able to purchase the pitwalk tickets for this race? I emailed Silverstone but the person who returned my email stated such tickets are not available. We've purchased them for other LMS races (usually 25€) and sure would like to do it for this one also. We do have weekend race tickets but if anyone may have in insight for the pitwalk, that info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

LAA with a single Corvette for sure at Silverstone ! just 3 GT1s !!! just like the ALMS, shame
anyway its horrible to see a foolish clash with FIA GT, Bruni and Collard will miss Silverstone, the Italian is missing the LMS GT2 crown |

So who's going off here? Would be nice to have a 10-10ths meet if there's enough of us. |

After Monza, Spa and NĂĽrburgring i'm going to set my personal record to 4 races in one season. I'll have to try to get to Barcelona as well next year.

Strakka will be unveiling a striking new livery for the DBR9 at Silverstone, with glossy black paintwork contrasting strongly with white lettering and prominent Relentless branding, according to Planet Le Mans.
In other words they haven't repainted the car since it raced at Le Mans. Tom. |

What, like relentless whining (from everyone else) that their Aston is slower than the others? I hope it's very black- the original Phoenix one was MEGA in all black. http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-05-07-005.jpg Last edited by minimangler; 1 Sep 2008 at 18:09. |

Hopefully!
I love black racecars, and I think that it would look cool with an allblack livery. |

Strakka were at Snett last week testing both cars - the Aston and BMW - you are right its very black!
Have not been to the 1000km for several years but will be going this year with my young son to give him his first taste of LMS racing. Was sorting out some boxes in my loft the other day and found a lot of photo's from the 70's Sliverstone Endurance racing - Jacky Ickx in the Martini Porsche 935, Ronnie Peterson in the BMW etc - those were the days !!! But I must admit I looking forward to seeing the LMP1 cars in full song !! |

Not quite , I do appreciate timetables , I work on airplanes and we work to strict timetables every day , but also I am not a monkey to be put on exhibition . People should understand that too .
I look in the garages , from the outside and "never" get in the way of the folks who are doing the job . Its just a show of respect is all . |

Yes, but with all this f***ing walls in the back of the garage you see nothing else than the wall if you are not allowed to walk in the pit lane.
