Also worth bearing in mind that Prodrive will be kept busy with their Mini WRC prgram...

HORNDAWG · 10 Sep 2010, 18:20 (Ref:2757388)

Yes, there is that also. But that should not have any bearing on whether they can, but might on, if they do.

L.P.

Indeed! Prodrive ran Subaru's WRC program alongside their sportscar until 2008, it's not like they cannot handle multiple things at once. They have also been running the Ford Performance Racing team in Aussie V8 Supercars since 2000, not to mention their involvement managing BAR Honda in 2001-2004 while running the Ferrari 550 program. Multitasking is their specialty as long as they get paid!

Prodrive were initially looking to run in sportscars, F1 and the WRC.

With the F1 program a no go the focus now appears to be on P1 and the WRC in a factory capacity and GT's for customers.

We do not know that yet. That is what we will, hopefully, find out tomorrow. And at this point I hope that the Vantage program continues as more of a semi-werks GT-2 program than sheer customer.

Audi racing full-time at the ALMS wouldn't benefit Audi worldwide, just North America. That's why it's North America's branch the one to handle the project and pay the bills.

How will PLM be scored? Double points or will the ACO use IMSA's points system?

**joeb** · 13 Sep 2010, 00:46 (Ref:2758444)

I thought that only the highest scoring car scores points for the manufacturer normally. Is this different for the ilmc?

The top 2 cars from each manufacturer scores points in the manufacturers championship in the LMS.

Thanks. In alms the manufacturer only gets points for 1 car, but I don't know if same will apply to ilmc round at Petit, or the aslms race.

The359 · 13 Sep 2010, 03:45 (Ref:2758479)

The entire ILMC points structure confuses me. Are there bonus points for the fastest qualifier or the fastest race lap or something? How does Joest have 21 points for finishing 3rd while Oreca only gets 22 points? Schnitzer has the same amount of points as Drayson, despite Schnitzer finishing 5th and Drayson 4th!

gwyllion · 13 Sep 2010, 06:59 (Ref:2758524)

The point systems of ILMC is explained in http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/...mc_2010_gb.pdf

Yes, there is a bonus point for the pole position. I hope that addresses your confusion.

JAG · 15 Sep 2010, 01:38 (Ref:2759546)

Woo at last.

In what might be some good news for U.S. followers and for Le Mans fans worldwide, the ACO confirmed it’s working hard on providing a complete TV package for the ILMC next year. All possible formats are being looked at, including live coverage, highlights packages and online streaming.

Yesss!
I have begun following FIA GT1 and GT3 because the availability of online coverage. The prospect of seeing the full ILMC online or on TV is fantastic! (Excluding Sebring and PLM which of course I will be at

) They might as well show the remaining LMS rounds too.

HORNDAWG · 15 Sep 2010, 02:04 (Ref:2759554)

Lets cross our fingers that it is more than just looking!

According to Autosport ORECA want to run the 90X in the ILMC.

In addition to the 2 factory cars?

JAG · 16 Sep 2010, 16:52 (Ref:2760444)

Yeah.

I would think manufactuers and teams are well upto speed on how easy it is to stream races these days and will push hard for such a service.

Streaming alongside a quality highlights package is the way to go for endurance racing, particularly the ILMC with races across the world.

Bring RLM onboard and the series would have the perfect TV package and wouldn't be reliant on fickle TV broadcasters.

that would be great. they could potentially even beat out the factory cars in a few races - that is if they get the same spec machinery....

Canada ALMS fan · 16 Sep 2010, 19:09 (Ref:2760528)

Thanks JAG.

3 or more Peugeots in the ILMC would be great.

997 brakedust · 16 Sep 2010, 20:33 (Ref:2760582)

If I am reading the 2011 schedule correctly, there will be a race at Spa. Interested in hearing what race yould favor in attending - the Intercontinental Cup at Spa or the 24 hours of Spa? Have been to one Le Mans race but will not be able to attend in 2011 - son will still be in school. So am looking for an alternative. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

A LMP1 project which has been reportedly shelved due to budget issues...
