Not at all, this is an all new 90 degree V10 being built and developed specifically for this project. This is absolutely not just a rebadging of an existing engine.

I'd be surprised if we didn't see a full-ish LMS campaign next year. With the all singing all dancing AIM project due for 2008 they'll want to maximise their chances of Le Mans entries.

i absolutely agree

NO LMS in '07 = No Le Mans in '08

btw really nice opportunity for Creation

But arn't they also racing in the ALMS with their old Hybrids next year? So surely a race or class win would gain them an invite, for which they could use their new car(s). Plus after all the ACO does have its favorites....

The Badger · 5 Dec 2006, 21:09 (Ref:1782812)

They certainly do , and most of'em are french !!

Creation will use 1 hybrid for their ALMS campaign next year . Havent got much of an idea who will do the driving but Liz Halliday was mentioned at one stage ?

The Badger · 5 Dec 2006, 21:12 (Ref:1782814)

I sincerly hope that the new Zytek LMP2 will not look like their LMP1 car . I think something has to be done about that . Take a look at the Lola , both their LMP1 and LMP2 cars look very simelar , there should be a differance ?

Why? Think about the committment to underwrite the cost for a completely new program.

The Badger · 5 Dec 2006, 22:55 (Ref:1782891)

Im thinking about it from a purely personal standpoint , that "I" would prefer it that way . Im sure most people think the same too .

I am remembering the old Group C days C1 & C2 , and I definetly prefered that the cars looked differant .

I take it from your question , that you like the fact that LMP1 & LMP2 look simelar then ?

jhansen · 5 Dec 2006, 23:50 (Ref:1782912)

It doesn't bother me. I follow the sport enough to realize who the players are in each group. I was just pointing out possible reasons why they look similar.

Jed Maxwell · 6 Dec 2006, 08:41 (Ref:1783104)

Just picked up on the news of Embassy Racing and there 2007 programme. Has anyone thought it could be a new LOLA given there involvement with LOLA F3 a couple of years ago??? Also I wouldn't be surprised to see Danny Watts in their car given the season he had.

old man · 6 Dec 2006, 11:20 (Ref:1783208)

Nice to see someone from Brazil joining in, good thinking about Danny Watts.

Can you comment on a subject that we have been discussing here on 10/10ths, that is a possible Brazilian round in the LMS series late next season. What do you think the reception to that would be out there? My gues is that a race that presented as "Le Mans comes to Brazil" would get a good crowd?

What do you think

Graham Goodwin · 6 Dec 2006, 12:51 (Ref:1783280)

Yeah but would it get any sort of grid!?

Jed Maxwell · 6 Dec 2006, 13:55 (Ref:1783331)

I'm only working out here on a long term contract but i'm a fan of the ALMS as i'm origanally from Texas. It would great to see the protos racing out here and i'm sure the fans will get behind it.

brielga · 6 Dec 2006, 14:03 (Ref:1783337)

I am South American and I'm sure that sort of event would have a huge crowd, the hunger for this kind of top notch racing in South America is just unbelievable

Jed Maxwell · 6 Dec 2006, 17:38 (Ref:1783461)

Yeah it would be great. It would be nice to see a British winner out here!!

The Badger · 6 Dec 2006, 19:21 (Ref:1783520)

Be nice to see a Mexican winner out there !!!

dj choc ice · 6 Dec 2006, 20:08 (Ref:1783548)

or a brazilian winner maybe we could have a future ayrton senna and not just his nephew.

The Badger · 6 Dec 2006, 20:17 (Ref:1783555)

Or a young Piquet or Fittipaldi !!

Pescarolo was testing its '06 car yesterday on a military airfield. Looks as they won't have their new tub before end december

Interesting. Assuming Henri's first in the queue, it's going to be quite some time before Lister and Rollcentre get hold of their's. I'm sure the first tub was originally due for completion at the end of November. There could be a few unhappy customers out there............

Did they test the new Judd GV5.5 S2 engine?

Endurance-info.com will have some news about Pescarolo tomorrow.

Martin Short expects his Pescarolo by mid of February.

HELL YESSS!!!

about time shorty god back into an LMP1 car maybe 2007 will be the year for rollcentre at lemans or in the LMS.

i also wonder will pescarolo be having a new aero package for 2007 or are they keeping it similar?

and what of zytek i seem to be hearing and its already confirmed that barazi epsilon are running an 07S in LMP2, so does this mean zytek will no longer race in LMP1 and have 2 or 3 cars running in LMP2 instead?

The Badger · 7 Dec 2006, 20:40 (Ref:1784437)

From what i can gather , Barazi Epsilon are a kinda semi-works team . They will be throwing down the gauntlet for Zytek , at least in LMP2 . Dont know about the rumour that they will run ALMS but i hope to see them there with Mowlem .

Havent heard if anymore potential customers are out there for both classes . But if the car can take the fight to the rest of'em , maybe in the future .
