right.
I see Hezemans in one line with konrad,both taking on projects
at least one size too big for their feet.
Just look at their reliability and why they are llosing races and you know they are not on top of their game,unfortunatelly.I know this is hard to say but I truely believe they both would be better off campaigning well developed cars like the Corvette or the Prodrive Ferrari or the Aston....or maserati instead of half heartet development of cars without the necessary funds in place.

There's a rumour that Pagani is designing a new road car but in the back of his head also designing it as GTS race car. We have to wait and see..

Infocourse announces the WR's planning for 2005 two cars at LM and the V6 for the LMES races (they still look for the three paying pilots).

This a FIA-GT post, but we've no "2005 FIA-GT" thread yet, and it seems to show that nobody believes in the Pagani anymore...
i have just set up a 2005 fia gt thread

Is Prodrive still developing the 550? Or isn't Prodrive no longer involved (and busy with the Aston Martin).

At Belgian website www.autosport.be there's an interview with Torsten Robbens (team manager of Team Goh). According to him Tim Kristensen will drive for Goh in 2005.

NOTE: Maybe it's a good idea to change the title of this topic to "Le Mans 2005"?

First post from me on the runners and riders for Le Mans 2005. I have just found this information on a press release from Nasamax:-

Plans are well under way for development of the Nasamax DM139 prototype for 2005 and the construction of an all-new car for 2006.

A new car? I understand from this press release they build an own car not buy a car. Maybe the new car that will be developed by Wiet Huidekoper/MDC Motorsport?

I would think NASAMAX would use the guys who designed the hybrid for their 2006 car.

I read the interview on autosport.be with the Belgian team manager of team Goh, T. Robbens. On the question whats the next dream of Mr Goh, he answered: Winning Le Mans 2005 with the number 1 on his car. He signed Kristensen already for 2005...

Explanations : the only real LMP1 in 2004 was the Nasamax. The other ones were LMP900 with derogations.

If I can remember, in 2005, the old LMP900 are definitely gone for real LMP1 (higher bodywork, etc...).

LMP 900 gets weight, smaller engine restrictors, shorter wings a la 2004, and other measures as yet undetermined. After 2005, not legal.

LMP-Hybrid-1 runs at LMP1 weight and restrictor size, but only to the end of 2006.

Thanks, I thought KW Motorsport was related to German www.kw-racing.de.

BTW Welcome on Ten-tenths.
www.kwmotorsport.com, Are you the guy on the right or left?

To Fab: Sorry I accused you of drunkmanship so early in the morning. I didn't conclude your remark was about the rules for 2005.

On KW motorsport's website is a chart with LMP rules, see: http://www.kwmotorsport.com/14401.html
