LM24 Le Mans 2004 entry list - Page 5

rdjones · 29 Nov 2003, 20:37 (Ref:798419)

I have updated the possible entries for next years Le Mans 24 Hours you can see it HERE

Fab · 30 Nov 2003, 04:51 (Ref:798712)

That's a great job, Rob ! Veru practicle to refere, keep an eye on that list, mates !

I didn't know that we could imagine two AUdis per team for LM, I thought it was just for LMES.

When you watch the list, you feel like an ACO member of the board at the entry list's meeting : who could we pull out ?

rdjones · 30 Nov 2003, 11:03 (Ref:799100)

Well if they have the budget to do it then why not.

Graham Goodwin · 30 Nov 2003, 11:06 (Ref:799104)

Max 4 R8s for LM - the three teams we already know about and a fourth car under offer

Fab · 30 Nov 2003, 17:21 (Ref:799360)

So we won't have a Repsol, a Taisan and a Canadian one simultaneously ?

Graham Goodwin · 30 Nov 2003, 17:54 (Ref:799377)

My understanding is definitely not unless somebody buys an older spec car (ie from Champion!)

courage · 30 Nov 2003, 18:24 (Ref:799391)

to help this list involment, the C65 won't be in LMP1, saturn won't run Le Mans, no Norma,no prodrive aston, no luc alphan 550 and........ that's all!!!!
VerY good work, could become a reference(I need your translation Fab!!!)

rdjones · 30 Nov 2003, 19:45 (Ref:799481)

I understand that Courage are planning to run 2 C65's and 1 C60 in next years Le Mans, as far I am awere they are going to run them both in LMP1, but I may be wrong. They plan to run 2 C65 in the LMES.........

Let's say a must ? Well, thanbk you anyway, and don't bother translation, we all know what we intend to say, even me despite my rusty english !

E46 · 1 Dec 2003, 09:22 (Ref:800060)

Saturn is a small team, so lack of money should be a good reason to be out of Le Mans. Anyway I didn´t think anytime to see them there.

Pilgrimage · 1 Dec 2003, 16:09 (Ref:800449)

Prodrive are to run a Ferrari 550 according to the Ferrari owners club page that i stumbled accross (no not because i own one unfortunately) not sure how out of date the info is though -sorry.

Pilgrimage · 1 Dec 2003, 16:19 (Ref:800458)

Sorry - webpage was out of date. Appologies.

Wout · 3 Dec 2003, 08:02 (Ref:802300)

Team Barron Connor has planned their new bought ferrari's 575 to do Le Mans 24 hour (rdjones!). The team is also mentioned on the LMES thread.
Besides the LMES and Le Mans 24 hour they will go to Sebring.

Fab · 4 Dec 2003, 05:59 (Ref:803393)

Hugues de Chanunac declared on a french radio broadcast "not beeing interrested by Le Mans"...

At least, we have not doubt anymore : let's forget definitively the Oreca Dallaras, and even the GTs...

Wout · 4 Dec 2003, 06:52 (Ref:803414)

Hmm, gave up hope about the Dallara's but I was convinced they would return with a new Viper, as they were mentioned on the SRT-10 site.
Anybody any news about this Viper entering the sportscar racing scene??

The Badger · 4 Dec 2003, 12:00 (Ref:803601)

I reckon that someone like Creation Autosportif should have bought one of the Dallara's from Oreca . I would think that the Dallara is a lot more sorted car over a DBA4/03 . The Ex oreca car would be a great car for the LMES and ALMS too .

Pilgrimage · 4 Dec 2003, 12:27 (Ref:803622)

I agree Badger.

sportproto · 4 Dec 2003, 13:03 (Ref:803666)

Too early to write that there will be no Norma !

The Badger · 4 Dec 2003, 14:23 (Ref:803762)

Im trying to understand why exactly did Creation buy the DBA . John Neilsen has already spoken about the cost of developing that car into a top runner , saying that It would cost way to much in the line of development .
Now , Creation might be a pretty good team but they didnt exactly excell with their second Lister chassis this year , did they ? So Im wondering what to expect from this car ? Another point , what happens if they wreck the chassis in an accident , is there another one available ?

I would love to see the DBA doing well next year but I have to addmit that I have my reservations about that too !!!

Opinions please .....

Drop a Judd into it !!! Then lets see how it goes .

Graham Goodwin · 4 Dec 2003, 14:31 (Ref:803772)

Two brand new DBA chassis are in build at Zytek

Graham Goodwin · 4 Dec 2003, 14:35 (Ref:803777)

Although of course strictly speaking it shouldn't be called a DBA any more - This thing has had more name changes than I can remember!!

cybersdorf · 4 Dec 2003, 14:43 (Ref:803783)

Well I guess it is time to call it a Creation

Very true!

Now, maybe someone out there will read this, and rush off to France and make Uncle Hughues an offer?

The Badger · 4 Dec 2003, 14:46 (Ref:803786)

I think that it has to be called a "DBA" cuz it was homologated as such if I remember correctly ?
