Is reiter on the list?

cmk · 28 Jul 2009, 22:44 (Ref:2510296)

He just posted the link to the list, man...

(NO)

If A1GP was anything to go by, they'll use the unchicaned layout, thankfully.

Am I correct in saying that this will actually be run as twin 500k races, rather than a single 1000k race?

I'm sure the economy is having an impact, but I wonder if at least some of the teams are particularly concerned about tearing up equipment given it's a new track for them, and that the event is more of a double sprint format.

No, it's one race. Scheduled for 215 laps or from 19:15 to 1:15

And it will be easier for us to watch in the States!

HORNDAWG · 29 Jul 2009, 00:38 (Ref:2510348)

Or at least listen to.

L.P.

Danny_GT2 · 29 Jul 2009, 01:06 (Ref:2510359)

Only 35 compared to the 51 entrants @ Spa! No Reiter Lambo

! Pity cos it looks brilliant!

rich07 · 29 Jul 2009, 01:41 (Ref:2510375)

No Reiter Lambo in GT2 is a shame. Only two entries in GT1 but good to see Melo is back in the Team Modena Ferrari.

cmk · 29 Jul 2009, 01:54 (Ref:2510379)

Hans Reiter has already said that the GT2 Gallardo program is suspended, and that the 'old' GT1 Murcielago is likely out to pasture.

I can understand the Murcielago not getting a run because its about to be replaced but why has the GT2 programme been suspended? Hope its not funding...

How long ago was Spa? It might've been only two and a half months but it seems like a lifetime ago.

Maybe I don't have a program installed on my computer to show it?

Stefvh · 29 Jul 2009, 09:26 (Ref:2510607)

if you have a net browser, that is enough.

Danny_GT2 · 29 Jul 2009, 12:42 (Ref:2510732)

Just saw Eurosport TV guide & there's good TV coverage, when I say that I mean better than the Spa coverage! The 1st hour & a half then the last hour & a half so 3 hours of coverage!

Huh?? Have you tried scrolling your mouse cursor over the list of links in the post? When one is hi-lited select it and it will take you to that link.

Its just imbedded url's.

If that does not work, hover over your selected choice, right click your mouse, select properties, then select all, then copy. Then go to your address bar and select it (right click) and paste the url in the address bar then hit go, or whatever you have as a command key for the browser.

L.P.

Purist · 29 Jul 2009, 15:46 (Ref:2510856)

One thing I was rather enthused to see was that, by the spotters guide, only one of the Ferraris is actually red.

It was running as a tech testbed car, generally in partial spec only, looking for buyer interest. There was none. The development work has paid dividends for the new GT3 though, so resources have been directed to it instead (3 sold already, projected 7-10 further 2009 sales). Makes sense! The upgrade kit will be available, of course, but it does seem sensible to put the development emphasis on the bigger earner, especially with the new GT1 already being a limited-income proposition unless other series without a max car count per model adopt the spec.

Acid09 · 29 Jul 2009, 22:57 (Ref:2511274)

Quite disappointing entry list, 34 cars has to be the lowest number for a LMS race to date, right?

I don't think I´ll be renewing my Eurosport player subscription for this, given that we´re getting three hours for free.

Danny_GT2 · 30 Jul 2009, 16:49 (Ref:2511784)

This track is favoured by the Ginetta-Zytek's. Strakka Racing currently 0.2secs quicker than the Pesca in FP1 & Quifel LMP2 is 1 second quicker than Speedy Lola-Judd!

Yes it does seem as though the GZ's like the Algarve circuit. We will see in about 3hrs if anyone has an answer for them in session2.

Hindy @ RLM will have full coverage of the race!

L.P.

Danny_GT2 · 30 Jul 2009, 17:23 (Ref:2511805)

The zyteks are pulling their weight in the first practice. I like it.
