FFSA-GT 2005

Fab · 18 Jan 2005, 04:32 (Ref:1203479)

We don't have a lot of french members around, but, as the french GT championship has an solid and interresting field, with various cars, I chosed to open this thread, just in case.

And with interresting news coming from Jérôme Mugnier's Virages : the championship will welcome a Lister Storm, with Iradj Alexander and Gaël Lesoudier at the wheel.

The team is the Red Racing, managed by Jacques Fournier-Laroque ; they had two cars in 2004, a Chrysler Viper GTS-R and a Porsche 911 GT2.

Same news in english on PlanetLeMans

I didn't pay attention to this one... with which team ? That's good news allright ! With Vipers (lots of), a Maranello, a Saleen, a Spyker, a Lister, this one turns like a small European championship (just kidding) !

I'd like to have a nice light blue Vette on the field, lucky British GT fans...

I think Wout means the Spyker (1 or 2?) of Dutchman v/d Laar. But I think this entry isn't confirmed.

That's what I meant, yes. In motorsport you never know if things are true, but I read an article about this in the Dutch Telegraph.

Here is the article I am referring to, Fire

what is the deal with DDO? will they be back in FFSA GT this year?

Fab · 18 Jan 2005, 19:42 (Ref:1204039)

I posted about DDO's projects lately, but forgot where and what about !

I think leave FFSA-GT for LMES or FIA-GT, but I can't remember...

Very interesting, I could see once the lister storm run for some trials at le mans ,one week before the GT FIa race in Valencia last year.

Fab · 29 Mar 2005, 03:52 (Ref:1263935)

The french championship is on its way too, with the first races at Nogaro this week-end.

The Goueslard-Dupart, on the Larbre Viper, won the first race, and the Dupuy-Fiat DDO Saleen the second race (full report on Virages and FFSA website).

Prost and Jabouille finished 6th and 4th on their Exagon Engineering Viper.

Lucky British GT fans? Unless Xero are changing their colours, it's looking like their boring yellow...

Fab · 30 Mar 2005, 03:46 (Ref:1264880)

Wasn't there a nice blue Vette last year ? Won't come back ?

TheNewBob · 30 Mar 2005, 17:23 (Ref:1265491)

Aah that was... Jensen Motorsport - with a BGT cup class Corvette. Was a strange-ish dark blue. But it wasn't particularly nice haha. Not sure if they're doing the same in '05, they're not on the entry list on the BGT website.

I was thinkg about a light blue one...

BSchneiderFan · 30 Mar 2005, 19:07 (Ref:1265588)

Embassy, wasn't it?

TheNewBob · 1 Apr 2005, 19:57 (Ref:1267400)

Light blue one was indeed Embassy, but they are racing a Porsche this year instead. Shame, because it reduces the variety of cars, but still they are a very serious team so they are after winning more than anything. We still get Xero running a C5, but it's a rather uninspiring yellow colour scheme if it's anything like last year's.

Shame indeed

the two Vettes fighting were one of the pleasure of the race... *sigh*

For a Porsche ? Lack os taste obviously... (just kidding)
