FIA GT Test Days (Monza 22/23 February)
Prompted by a preview on DSC, I felt a dedicated thread here on Ten Tenths was in order. Lots of cars and lots of action at Monza over the next couple of days. The 2007 FIAGT season appears to be shaping up very nicely following the general feeling of doom and gloom (by some, myself included I must admit ) over the last few months.
I don't have a full list of those who will be present, but (thanks to DSC): FIA GT1's will include Aston Martin's (Race Alliance, BMS), the All-Inkl Lambo's, Maserati MC12's (JMB, Playteam) and the Rock Media Pagani Zonda. FIA GT2's will include the Ferrari's of Edil-Cris, AF Corse and Scuderia Ecosse, and the Tech 9 Porsche (with our very own esteemed Tenths member Sean Edwards at the wheel). FIA GT3's will be there in abundance including the new Jaguar XKR, and Scott Maxwell will be at the wheel of the Multimatic built Ford Mustang (I'm clearly not up to speed, I had no idea the Mustang was joining the frey in 2007?). There will also be cars for the ADAC GT Masters (GT3's) and GT4 European Cup aswell. I'm sure our Italian friends (amongst others) will keep us up to speed with events at Monza. Should make for an interesting couple of days! |

I remember seeing the Pagani testing on the airfield at Le Mans a few years ago . It had a beautiful whail to the engine note .
Will the Pagani be using the same engine again ? Be nice to see that car sorted out . |

According to the ACEMCO website the engine in their Saleen was built by Hutter.

yeah the car was "raced" or better...practiced in the first round of Italian GT 05... i really would like to see the Zonda on track but Rock Media Motors seems to have more money than technical ability (and they have not that much money too)...

'Wall' out in the Jag then? As i've mentioned on the rumours thread, this Hubert Haupt MC12 is interesting. Is it really his car or is he just down as the only driver listed for this test? |

Well , the car is entered under "Hubert Haupt" , that would suggest a new team to me .
Any idea which chassis the MC12 is . I believe the 2nd Vitaphone car went to JMB . Maybe its the Goh car or a Risi car ? |

I notice there is a "Henry Mosler" entered in the Kessler F430, any relation to the Anglo-Floridian concern?

I think the 2nd Playteam Maserati is the former Racing Box MC12.

No, they (Racing Box) still have their MC12 see:
http://www.racingworld.it/fiagt/noti...?idtitolo=2980 They will not use the MC12 in any race (I still hope for Citation Cup), but only for tests |

My friend Francesco, from Monza, says the black MC12 is a "MC12 Corsa" and is only for privateer test, no races in the future

Thanks. No mention of the Apex Jag, though, I thought that they were present.
