The Real Question in My Mind:
If the TVRs can't get the cars prepared or repaired in time, which ones from the list of "Reserves" will be brought into the mix for this week's race??? Will they pull cars from the same class that the TVRs would have raced in to keep the number of entrants in each class the same, or do they start at the top of the list??? Please enlighten me on this one... |

Still an interesting question though. If for example a Saleen pulled out, would the replacement come off the top of the reserve list, or would it be from the same class?

The answer is "in the order of the list." So first withdrawal, whatever class, results in Taurus entering.

I'm pretty sure the reserves are in order of selection and the class makes no differance.

It was some of the Team Nasamax "Environmentally Friendly" fuel, otherwise known in the States as "White Lightning," "Corn Whiskey" or "Moonshine"....
Made me blind....at least to the joke!!!! |

if there are withdraws now, they won't be replaced, the limit was june the 1st (test day regulations, http://www.lemans.org/sport/pdf/2003...LATIONS_GB.pdf art. #18.2) so from now, one withdraw = 1 car missing on the grid |

Yes, I thought as much. That's why I removed the reserves from my entry list.....

As I love the car, and I hoped for a better painting, i'm really disapointed to not see the Taurus Lola on the track... and I think it was the last chance for LM... too bad...
