Nick F40 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 BMW power that is, the BMW Riley team with Zogaib and Dalziel drove it to the win, that "bump" at the corckscrew was certainly interesting, I wonder what Goossens thought about that! What was cool is they both went off course and through the "sand" and still got back on course with no caution, and there was ###### and debris on the track. If that Castrol Speedsource with Tremblay and Ham I think driving to the finish, if he wouldn't have got loose out of the corkscrew, man, he had it!!! GXP-R won AGAIN!!! now let's see what the Le Mans series does at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah! should be fast
Nick F40 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 The ALMS race is going good so far, Ferrari is having problems but doing strong, Viper has been loose a lot and the P cars are running good but spinning out and the Vettes are dominating and doing good. one question, why is the DBR9 in the GT2 class, it's even the 007 car, haven't they got the parts yet from Britain to compete in GT1?

The Aston Martin is not a DBR9. It is a Vanquish with a DBR9 body on it. It is running a V-8 instead of a V-12. It is a European Spec GT3 converted to a GT2 race car. That is the reason why it is running in the GT2 category. The GT1 car that ran in the last race was very heavily damaged and they are still repairing the damage on the car. It should be back in the next race.
Nick F40 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) ahhhhh OK, they just want to make sure they make it to LeMans. How did you know that, was it on the site? Ooooo YES LeMans! Edited May 18, 2008 by Nick F40
CAL Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) They will all have to beat the Porsche RS Spyder. whooowhoo. Porsche wins again, and those ###### Lizards... Edited May 18, 2008 by CAL
Brendan Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 They will all have to beat the Porsche RS Spyder. whooowhoo. Porsche wins again. Yes, Porsche wins again but both the Porsches and the Accuras are running illegally sized motors. That's why you will not be seeing them at Le Mans any time soon. Also the poor Audis are handicapped so badly with the amount fuel they can carry.
Nick F40 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Yeah, I know, they are on a roll but the R10's were made to do LeMans! Dome, Judd, Courage, and Peugeot are supposed to do well to. But Peugeot's 5.5 V12 turbo diesel is supposed to do very well also. ###### LIZARDS!! Ferrari has been having problems lately Edited May 18, 2008 by Nick F40
CAL Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Yeah, I know, they are on a roll but the R10's were made to do LeMans! Dome, Judd, Courage, and Peugeot are supposed to do well to. But Peugeot's 5.5 V12 turbo diesel is supposed to do very well also. ###### LIZARDS!! Ferrari has been having problems lately I'm telling ya. The factory, and Prodrive, are the only ones to make Ferraris run. ###### LIZARDS Yeah, I know... Porsche can beat them on the short tracks, but they have their work cut out for them at du Mans.
Nick F40 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 ahhh, I didn't know that. Yeah du Mans...Ferrari will own! Prodrive...?
CAL Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 ahhh, I didn't know that. Yeah du Mans...Ferrari will own! Prodrive...? Only if there is a factory car Prodrive is a English constructor, and is really the only ones with success in a Ferrari other than the factory. I don't think Prodrive will have a Ferrari entry this year.They have a P2 car and been campaining Austins and Fords of late.

They also do or did WRC Subarus and is where they got their start. Their first car as a 1997 WRC Impreza. They own a slue of motorsport companies. Tickford Glenn Seton Racing Managed the former BAR F1 Team Prodrive USA Prodrive Thailand Prodrive Austrialia Prodrive China They kind of know what they are doing.
