ACO have wanted rid of it for ages, but it'll come under the whole COVID situation. Despite Spain being as big a warzone as here, etc etc.

Treat people like **** long enough and they won’t want to come back to your ‘famous’ facility. Doubtless the management will be nonplussed.
And the disastrous split pit/paddock layout also plays a big part. I’m also sure Brexit must play a part too. |

As already posted in the WEC 2021 topic.
https://tentenths.com/forum/showthre...154739&page=13 The new driver pairing regulations will also have an impact on the LMS LMP2 field. Code:
Of the 15 LMS LMP2 runners currently at Monza 5 would be good-to-go under 2021 regulations: * #25 Algarve Pro: Falb (B) - Trummer (G) - Aubry (G) * #27 Dragonspeed: Hedman (B) - Hanley (G) - Milesi (S) * #34 Inter Europol: Smiechowski (S) - Binder (S) - Isaakyan (G) * #37 Cool: Lapierre (P) - Borga (S) - Coigny (B) * #50 Richard Mille: Calderon (S) - Floersch (S) - Visser (S) 3 would be OK if they add an extra driver: * #20 High Class: Fjordbach (S) - Andersen (B) -> can add any category * #22 United: Hanson (S) - Albuquerque (P) -> needs a silver or bronze * #35 BHK: Dracone (S) - Campana (G) -> needs a silver or bronze 7 would have to change at least one driver: * #24 Algarve Pro: Enqvist (S) - Lancaster (G) - Maini (G) * #26 G-Drive: Rusinov (G) - Jensen (S) - Vergne (P) * #28 IDEC: Lafargue (S) - Chatin (G) - Bradley (G) * #30 Duqueine: Gommendy (P) - Hirschi (G) - Tereschenko (S) * #31 Panis: Canal (S) - Jamin (G) - Stevens (P) * #32 United: Owen (S) - Brundle (G) - Van Uitert (G) * #39 Graff: Allen (G) - Laurent (G) - Cougnaud (S) This now disappeared entry would also be outlawed: #21 Dragonspeed: Rojas (G) - Hanley (G) - Buret (S) Last edited by gert; 10 Oct 2020 at 11:12. |

The decision has already been reversed

Maybe if we kick up the same fuss they will bring back Silverstone and scrap GTE for GT3?

The difference is we’re not an entrant.

On a lighter note, did anyone catch the Le Mans Cup race this afternoon? Cracking watch. Three safety cars and plenty of good scrapping, particularly in the GT3 lead battle. If you don't watch the cup, those 2 hour races are great fun, particularly if you're a fan of LMP3s, which I am.

It was very good, apart from maybe the first 40-something minutes. Not much racing and too many stupid accidents. The last 80 minutes were great to watch though. Excellent move by Hörr on Cauhaupe for the lead, and with great championship implications as well. Superb battle between Andlauer and Schiro in GT as well. Great fightback from Kapadia after falling back from 2nd to dead last (due to a puncture?) after a first lap pitstop. A shame that car retired on the out lap for the 2nd driver. |

Lap 1 and Rusinve is beached on the curb and goes a lap down, Hanson in the gravel and down to 13th
Safety car, and Jamin hits Hirschi. Jamin takes the lead and immediately pits Fjordbach is flying and goes from 5th to 1st in one lap and a half. |

Dragonspeed has been disqualified, High Class Racing now takes 3rd after a very good drive from both Fjordbach and Andersen that had them leading 71 of the 135 laps.
Fjordbach had the 7th fastest lap of the entire race, faster than Van Uitert, Brundle, Stevens, Hanley, Laurent, Owen, Bradley, Gommendy, Lancaster and many others. Not too bad for a silver driver. (OK, Jensen en Hanson are also silver and were even faster) Last edited by gert; 11 Oct 2020 at 21:17. |

The very final exception finally leaves the Oreca Le Mans class, most likely meaning every entry next year has the same spec car, same spec engine, and same spec tires. It's like Formula 2, finally! Only with fake silver drivers, sub category for non-fake-silver-bronzes, more disqualifications, glorious clone chassis rebrandings such as Aurus, and lowered performance levels. And at least F2/GP2 sort of warms up the atmosphere before Grand Prix. Last edited by Deleted; 23 Oct 2020 at 16:42. |

https://www.endurance-info.com/fr/el...s-2021-part-1/
https://www.endurance-info.com/fr/334458-2/ Endurance-Info suggest for 2021: United Autosports: will be back with at least 1 , probably 2 LMP2s. Probably some new drivers since Albuquerque is looking at WEC+IMSA, and there have been tensions between the 2 driver lineups. At least 1, probably 2 LMP3s. G-Drive/TDS: Are heading for a divorce. TDS is looking to be back in LMP3 and will see what can be done for LMP2 Panis: 1 LMP2 expected. A second is possible, but in conjuction with another team/structure. Graff: 1 LMP2 likely, 1 or 2 LMP3s. Extra car with SRT41 likely for the 2 races preceding Le Mans. Duqueine: looking at WEC, ELMS or maybe even both Cool: status quo: ELMS with same drivers. LMP3 car possible with maybe current MLMC drivers. End of WEC programme High Class: WEC or ELMS? Would like to hold on to Kenta Yamashita. Huge fine for missing Bahrain is ****ing them off. May look at IMSA for select races, or instead of European programme. IDEC: hoping to be back with LMP2. LMP3 likely for MLMC. Nothing decided as of yet. Richard Mille: will continues, most likely in ELMS and not WEC Algarve Pro: favorites to land G-Drive programme. Will likely include Mehri. 2nd car targeted for Falb. Inter Europol: LMP2 programme moves to WEC. Probaly 2 LMP3s in ELMS Dragonspeed: 1 LMP2 in WEC. No news for ELMS or IMSA programmes BHK: 1 LMP2 planned + 1 LMP3 likely Carlin: not expected to be back Phoenix: may add ELMS to planned Asian LMS programme |

Anyone knows what is (or was) going on at United Autosports?
There were some rumours before that there have been some tensions between the driver crews. Lately in some French media there was speculation that there has been a major fallout. Not everyone seemed to be happy that everything in United evolves around Phil Hanson, and now there are reports that only Hanson will return and all others will not. Albuquerque is off to IMSA, so maybe he cannot combine both. But also Van Uitert, Brundle and Owen would be out, then? |
