The Spanish GT series often gets 30k+ crowds.

I don't expect that first time out for the LMS at Barcleona, I'm quite sure it will be the least attended race of the season, but Spains an emerging car (racing) market.

I hope you are right JAG its just Spain historically has always had a very low crowd turnout for cars, but if the Spanish GT gets 30k+ then we have hope!

JAG is absolutely right, the Spanish GT championship has a large number of followers, and after each race, you can find good and details reviews in almost every motorsport magazine. And that's the clue, you can't aboid that championship living here, every person who buy one of those magazines exactly know when and where are the races.

minimangler · 3 Apr 2008, 11:27 (Ref:2168561)

That Sebah Lola looks pretty sorted- it was moving fairly quicky around Magny Cours, by my eye. Who's driving?

rdjones · 3 Apr 2008, 18:07 (Ref:2168867)

Well I am all packed and ready to go. I will be heading off to Liverpool Airport at around 3.30 in the morning. I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. Photo's and thought's from the weekend on either Monday or Tuesday.

Wow thats great, wish it was like that in Australia but there are many reasons why it isn't. It bodes well for LMS though. With so many supporters around, word of mouth would be getting around about the LMS race this weekend, so I'd be guessing at least some of them would turn up.

**Bentley03** · 3 Apr 2008, 22:55 (Ref:2169108)

Just been digesting the latest entry list on DSC...............

30 prototypes
15 LMP1
15 LMP2
9 different chassis in LMP1
9 different chassis in LMP2
5 coupes

Audi
Peugeot
Aston Martin
Porsche
Mazda

Should be quite a show.

GTfour · 3 Apr 2008, 23:01 (Ref:2169110)

Damn! Just been invited to tag allong with a mate of mine,going to the Nordschleife to do some laps there in his Alfa GT Q2 on Sunday....only shame is,it's a diesel!

This'll mean I wont be able to see the race on Eurosport Germany...mmh.

Choices,choises...

GroupC4ever · 4 Apr 2008, 01:08 (Ref:2169149)

Does anybody know where and when we will be able to watch a telecast of the Barcelona LMS Race on TV in North America?

Thanks

Let's hope the Live Timing is a little more reliable this year!

If you were a true petrolhead (perhaps dieselhead) then you'd head to the eiffel mountains. Sure, you can't see the race, but come one man! It's the Nordschleife!

Thoughts, chaps?

Peugeot to be fastest, but Audi to win?

gwyllion · 4 Apr 2008, 09:48 (Ref:2169334)

First pictures are on EI

Livery of two Lola coupes: http://www.endurance-info.com/2008_L...rcelona/03.jpg and http://www.endurance-info.com/2008_L...rcelona/11.jpg
Oreca #5 has old aero: http://www.endurance-info.com/2008_L...rcelona/06.jpg
Nice livery for LMP2 Pescarolo: http://www.endurance-info.com/2008_L...rcelona/08.jpg
Embassy: http://www.endurance-info.com/2008_L...rcelona/10.jpg

minimangler · 4 Apr 2008, 10:00 (Ref:2169343)

Damn, the embassy looks SWISH. Which drivers in the old aero Oreca?

The Charouz livery is tasty, and the P2 Pesca is gorgeous.

minimangler · 4 Apr 2008, 10:05 (Ref:2169350)

Rollcentre's looks swish!
Nice to see a little rememberance on there too.

Tom908V12 · 4 Apr 2008, 10:26 (Ref:2169365)

Until now, best time for Sarrazin ahead of teammate Gené and McNish...

Crazy 4th time for Verstappen leading LMP2

Good time for the Lola-Aston Charouz in front of the other Audi

**Bentley03** · 4 Apr 2008, 10:26 (Ref:2169366)

Live timing would suggest there's been an off (only 3 transponders showing cars on track).
