For me (sorry my nationalistic wishful thinking) it would be great, but realistic.... don't think so! Even an portuguese drivers line-up would be very very unrealistic... no sponsors... the biggest portuguese enterprises, the ones who have that dimension and who would win something with international exposure (and thete ain't many in LMS) prefer no melt their money on Football. |

After confirming a full season, Epsilon Euskadi decides to step back and now is talking about full concentration in the ee2 for Le Mans, and only after it, the team will go to the series.
After the great news about Kolles and the privateers R10, we didn´t need this kind of news from Epsilon Euskadi.... Source: Sportmotores.es Last edited by LeMans.pt; 19 Jan 2009 at 12:46. |

That´s just a prevision due to progress on the new car, if the car is ready, and Joss The Boss and its Dutch sponsors come on time, they will compete in the LMES before Lemans. Until Villadelprat opens the mouth, this is just insiders speculation. Last edited by fanfisique; 19 Jan 2009 at 14:11. |

Remember they did last year without sponsors, I do not think they can continue like that... |

So long as they compete after Le Mans I'll be happy.

The correct words are "Possibly we wont start the Le Mans Series season, an we will concentrate, as a team and constructor, our efforts in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and do the LMS later on". |

It´s widely known that what Epsilon Euskadi wants for the future is to be a constructor of chassis and sell them (like Lola...) , not race themselves. Here they talk "as a team and constructor". It´s obvioulsy the same for EE. But maybe a strong showing at Le Mans will make some team to change from, i.e, Lola to them. Various LMES insiders said that, as a chassis, EE1 does not give away anything to the Lola B08. We´ll see |

If they succeed, they will get some support from other teams. I do see too much "manufacturers" in Sportscars and little buyers. The marquet will see the process of natural selection in a few years time. Pescarolo is the first in my eyes, Embassy, another one, but thing is for sure: Welter Racing will always be there even if their car is just crap and don´t sell a ****... |

The EE1(s) could certainly be at Barcelona for their home race... and to make sure the team doesn't get rusty.
I'd like to see them there because I will happen to be in Barcelona for 5 days just around those dates! |

I hope, and i think it will be very surprising if not, that Lola, Ginetta-Zytek, Courage-Oreca and Pescarolo will remain manufactures for a long time, where others may come and drop off! |

Epsilon Euskadi have withdrawn both of their cars from Le Mans, one that was on the grid and the second which was on the reserve list. This means that for the first time an entry from the People's Republic of China will be on the grid for the race in the GT-2 Porsche 997 of Enduance China Team. Here

indeed, that's really bad news - I hope that's not the end but fear it probably is.

I hope not. While I would understand a shortened or postponed program this year, I truly hope that it is still a working entity and we will see them back in the future, when funding is available.

Another team who tried to go it alone rather than taking the easy (sensible?) option of buying off the shelf.
Epsilon, Embassy, are Creation next? Regardless of Epsilon continuing or not, I think it's fair to say Lola, ORECA, Zytek and Pescarolo have the customer market sown up, with strength in numbers giving them the best chance to challenge major manufacturer's cars. |
