LM24 2007 Le Mans entry list - Page 22

neiltbag · 27 May 2007, 20:20 (Ref:1922356)

I'm confused about a couple of entries. The PSI Corvette was apparently going to have Adam Sharpe as the third driver, but the ACO list shows Phillip Peter.

Also, I thought that Simon Pullan would be in the Pilbeam, but looks like Chris McAllister instead.

I have Yutaka Yamanishi in the T2M Dome - is this the same driver?

Hmmm, never heard of a driver with that name. As a Westerner who covers SuperGT, I'm used to coming across names I don't recognize, who turn out to have quite a history, so it's perfectly possible that this is correct. A little Googling doesn't really shed any light on that name though, and there's nothing in the SuperGT Media Guide.

I guess we'll find out eventually...

Marcel ten Caat · 28 May 2007, 12:50 (Ref:1922807)

They are two drivers...

Yutaka Yamagishi = T2M Dome driver
Koji Yamanishi = JLOC Lamborghini driver

Chewie-1990 · 28 May 2007, 14:51 (Ref:1922910)

Thanks for clearing that up, ive seen Koji Yamanishi listed in both the JLOC and the T2M cars, but that seems more likely
Still confused about the Sharpe/Peter situation though, werent PSI supposed to have dropped Philipp Peter and Luke Hines after the Tourist Trophy?

Adam Sharpe certainly had been announced as driving the PSI Corvette, but I wonder if he has taken his business elsewhere (Barazi? del Bello?) as his website says - " I will most definitely aim to be at Le Mans again (2007) – ideally in a prototype. "

All will be revealed very soon.

everyone can remember!

and it was even more flashy (see here, april 2001)

At www.pitstop.tv Belgian Tom Cloet is mentioned as a candidate for the 3rd Del Bello seat.

Pay driver. Either she stopped paying her way for whatever reason, or the team decided that her money was no longer sufficient (perhaps in an equation with her performance).

She is in no way the equal of Maassen on raw pace, and any suggestion to the contrary is a matter of spin rather than outright, objective fact supported by a weighty body of evidence.

Jesus ..... thats a bit "BRIGHT" for first thing in the morning mate , need me shades !!!

Any idea what the weathergirls are saying about a forcast for race week ?

Must be due a wet one but I sincerly hope not .

Is Santy's Courage Ianette-Petrov-Terada then ?

brielga · 29 May 2007, 12:16 (Ref:1923712)

Man you are so lucky I'm not a moderator here any more. A year ago I would have banned you for the first part of that sentence........

Well, there was a vote for Tom Cloet instead of Terada. Yojiro was guesswork weeks ago and I suspect would have been confirmed by now if he was in.......

bernard b · 29 May 2007, 16:29 (Ref:1923917)

Ouest France suggests today that Liz Halliday is the 3rd on the "Christmas" Del Bello Courage, and Terada could be on the T2M Dome (could also be Pompidou)

**Aysedasi** · 29 May 2007, 16:49 (Ref:1923936)

Let me know when the music stops and they take another chair away then.........

bernard b · 29 May 2007, 16:56 (Ref:1923942)

the music will stop when Rob will have enough of Travellers

Interesting suggestion, but no confirmation is there yet. BTW who could finally be the third driver on that number 13 Courage? Should be someone quick enough....

Mr. B. I can give you the official confirmation of Liz Halliday driving the Noel del Bello Courage before anyone else...
