Balfe Motorsport looking at P2.

Scuderia Ecosse also looking at P2, apparently

jhansen · 17 Oct 2005, 18:35 (Ref:1436239)

Sam Li wants a factory program. I'm somewhat surprised that his name was never mentioned in any of the Aston Martin talk.

SALEEN S7R · 17 Oct 2005, 20:45 (Ref:1436426)

I woudnt bet on Scuderia Ecosse getting a LMP 2, unless they have some major backing I dont know about. Why? Well because they are reportedly buying 2 Ferrari 430's.

TheNewBob · 17 Oct 2005, 20:51 (Ref:1436433)

I read somewhere, possibly Autosport, about Scuderia Ecosse indeed getting their hands on the Ferrari 430. Only question is where they were going to race it, as British GT may be unlikely...?

Was in MN they were looking at P2, but wanted to keep links with Ferrari.

The 430 may just be for BGT, IF theres even going to be a GT2 class!

SALEEN S7R · 17 Oct 2005, 21:40 (Ref:1436512)

Of course there will be a GT2 class, I dont see any reason why numbers will be down any further than they have been this year, especially as LNT will be back at times with their Panoz. But this is a topic for another thread.

We'll see

If not already mentionned above ... Infoscourse : expect a Lister full commitement in LMES(and ALMS) next year (prototype).

SALEEN S7R · 19 Oct 2005, 15:28 (Ref:1438048)

Wow, thats news to me! But very good news, Id expected Lister to contest a full LMES season next year but never the ALMS. 2006 is looking very strong both for the LMES and the ALMS, IMO.

19dodge · 19 Oct 2005, 16:15 (Ref:1438099)

Well, not entirely true. Lister is evaluating running either or Both series. It is not a 100% done deal yet, but they will be most likely be running in one of the two.

Story Here

TheNewBob · 19 Oct 2005, 17:36 (Ref:1438176)

no more factory Lister Storm GT car... always feared this would happen soon!! there's no crying "smiley" image but that's how I feel about that news!

jhansen · 19 Oct 2005, 17:40 (Ref:1438182)

It's better for them to focus their efforts on the LMP than continue on with the aging GT car. But the Storm should live on in national GT series. Take heart and smile!

TheNewBob · 19 Oct 2005, 18:14 (Ref:1438213)

How can I smile when the one national championship it won't be visiting is the only national championship I'm likely to see! lol.

The Storm has given me some great personal memories over time, but here's hoping the LMP proves to be a great success.

JAG · 19 Oct 2005, 18:54 (Ref:1438260)

ignore

Fab · 21 Oct 2005, 03:34 (Ref:1439308)

If it as not mentionned above : Nicolas Minassian announced, on Infoscourse that works of hybridation on the Creation DBA are going well - four days in the wind tunnel already - and that a second brand new car is possible in 2006.

Fab · 22 Oct 2005, 17:18 (Ref:1440693)

Bafle Motorsport shakedown on a LMP2 Courage : read all about it on Infoscourse !

ger80 · 22 Oct 2005, 17:35 (Ref:1440705)

Is it an old car? Its a hybrid, who would buy a new one at this time?

Graham Goodwin · 22 Oct 2005, 18:01 (Ref:1440718)

It is a factory car - Balfe and Jamie Derbyshire were evaluating the car for 2006

If there wouldn´t be still any customer interest in C65´s I don´t think Courage would have built this chassis.

19dodge · 22 Oct 2005, 19:42 (Ref:1440808)

that photo there shows that its the LMP1 hybrid, not the LMP2 C65 (unless Courage converted the C60H back to a C65).. But its definatly chassis nr 5.

ger80 · 22 Oct 2005, 19:45 (Ref:1440810)

would you buy a hybrid car now? only one year LMES/LeMans Racing possible. Also hard to be as fast as a Lola car ....
I wouldnt

Why do you think it´s a C60H ? O.k. could be parts of the bodywork of a C60H, as it looks like the Advan Le Mans car, but as the C60/C65 tub is the same, it´s possible that it´s now a C65. Customer interest will be bigger for a C65 than for C60H.

19dodge · 23 Oct 2005, 02:32 (Ref:1440964)

yes, i have heard that its easy to convert back and forth. So it could be either, but for sure its chassis 5 (which was run as a C60H this year at Le Mans)

Are you sure? Do you have a shot of the number plate? I´ve no record for chassis #10 for 2005. Maybe it the chassis than run g-Force after the LeMans crash.

If you compare the Le Mans # 13 Courage and the one on the Infocourse pictures you can easily see that´s there are some differences. The Courage which run at Le Mans hat two air intakes instead of one and also outlets at the side pods.

So it´s definetly a C65, maybe a new one or the converted LM #13, but not a C60H any more.

Isn´t the #10 one of the Noel del Bello LMES cars ?
