I believe they were in Palm Beach two weeks ago for a supercar show (like they were last year)...

But why would someone buy an old car and update it when they can purchase a previous year's Corvette C6R from the factory or get a brand new DBR9? |

Cost - considerably cheaper to buy and upgrade than purchase a new(ish) C6 or a DBR9......

What was the reserve bid for those ASEMCO Saleens? $600,000 IIRC Which was never met. Updating another $200,000 or more
I think those Saleens are better in a museum or a super car show tour. a new C6R ~ $1 million USD and used $800,000 min a new BDR9 was $960,000 two years ago No wonder GT2 is more popular, cars are 1/2 the price of a GT1 car Last edited by AU N EGL; 5 Feb 2008 at 12:53. |

That isn't the C5-R of Selleslagh Racing Team/Reneauer or a Fia GT car. Just a privat build C5 racecar. |

My point was that with all of those GT1 applications for Le Mans the Acemco Saleens would have to be considered to be one of them. I am not saying likely, just considered.
The Bear now say the deal for the Acemco Saleens fell through, so I doubt we will se anything but the Labre pair and possibly ARC Bratislava Saleen this June. Which brings me to this: Why did Labre switch from Aston Martin to Saleen anyways? I don't know why, but I root for the Saleen. I think in the proper hands (similar to Oreca's investment) that car could win at Le Mans. Bottom line in GT1 is you need a full factory effort if you are going to compete. Can Labre keep the Saleen on the same performance level as Oreca did? |

Maybe we will see the Pe-ka racing S7R too . I doubt Bratislava would get an entry with the chassis they have , but maybe they could hire or buy a newer machine ?

Im wondering if Audi are planning on 4 cars . If they are talking about a single car effort in the ALMS after Sebring ..... with Biela -Pirro only doing the enduro's .
Would hate to see that happen though . 3 Audi V's 3 Pug would be a great battle . |

I guess it's the first time that we'll see the Maseratis at Le Mans!

Lou Gigliotti confirms application for Le Mans this year.

Maybe with being the only GT-2 Corvette on the radar at the moment he will have a decent chance of recieving an invite knowing the diversity that the ACO seeks. I would say depending on the teams performance at Sebring but the ACO does not seem to be waiting for the event as a benchmark anymore. L.P. Last edited by HORNDAWG; 12 Feb 2008 at 19:07. |
