im still curious when Intersport will announce their plans. it still isnt offical that they will run 2 P2 cars(although it would make sense)
good list. maybe take off the Freisinger Porsche, and RML Lola. not sure though.. |

You can add two TVR's and the Autocon Riley onto the list.

I must have missed the part about Nasamax crossing the pond?

A great looking entry list indeed, lots of good news in terms of entrants for the ALMS at the moment, the 2 Yager C5R's, and a request for 2 MC12's for the full year, although we dont know by who, yet. Sebring is looking like its going to be one of the strongest editions in years!

Looking forward a lot to the GT1 battle, very curious how that one will result. I think it's the least predictable class for this edition.

Is the MC12 legal to race in the ALMs? or Sebring, I did'nt think it was. Given the recent money problems of the Taurus team, is it likey to race beyond Sebring?
Shame that more of the European teams, Audi France, Pesca, RML etc dont make the trip. Sign of the times I guess. Maybe there should be a DP class. |

Where is the GNM/Konrad and Carsport info coming from. GNM and Konrad did not come to Sebring 04 and Carsport has not been heard of since Seca, is there any source or is this just a hunch.

Carsport is the Carsport Holland Team run by Hezemans. It was announced that they have a 04 Vette on order, and will debut it at Sebring.
Nash and Konrad were not at Sebring because there was a FIA GT race the week after. Now, the first FIA GT round is April 10th. so that gives them plenty of time to run sebring, ship the cars back over to Europe, and run in the 1st round of FIA GT |

The question is ....will they? I sure hope so, I ordered my ticket as soon as the american greenback became 1.20 compared to my loonie. |

on German Sportscar news sites, it also states that Konrad and Nash will be there.
If the GT1/GT2 rules were not the same for both FIA And ACO next year, im sure Konrad or Nash wouldnt come. but it is a diffrent case now. Especially if those teams want to get an entry to Le Mans (im not sure if Konrad wants an entry next year).. |

I don't know yet if Carsport will make it with the C5R. They've only ordered it, just like a lot of others, and they intend to run it in Sebring. On the other side though, a spokesman of Kumpen said that "they're definitely walking that way, and aren't denying it, but that at this moment nothing was sure yet, whatever some people or sites try to tell you". In other words: they're definitely trying to get that Vette, but it isn't for sure yet.

DSC has confirmed that we should expect to see a Konrad Saleen on the grid at Sebring. they predict that it could be a GT1 field of around 15!! that would be a mega race!!

Maybe P&M are selling more than two cars? If that's the case than the words of that spokesman are not 100% correct......which doesn't surprise me at all |
