Just a quick note, this weeks "Motorsport news" newspaper has a article regarding Lister and the fued with Andrea Piccini, the article says that the team has made a settlement with the Piccini rather than waste time going to court, and getting the case thrown out. The article also says that the Lister squad has their equipment back now and will be back in FIA GT in time for Hockenheim. The big news though is that Lister will be at Monza this weekend with the Lister LMP, drivers are John Nielsen, Casper Elgard and Jens Moller.

Great news there then.

[DiscoGoober]

And, also, Force One Racing has withdrawn their Pagani Zonda and will run a Chrysler Viper instead.

[tblincoe]

so the lister is going to be at monza? last i heard is that they were not going to be there because they were going to choose to test instead and get their drivers comfortable in the car as well as further develop the car in preperation for lemans

The LMES site and others have the Lister as "NOT" running this weekend....

[Duffacus]

There still seems lots of uncertainties at this late stage, whos in, whos out!? very confusing!

[Tim Northcutt]

I'm with you on that one, Duffacus!!!!

Guess we won't know until all of the cars pass through scrutineering tomorrow....

That list is a "General Classification" list for the Le Mans Endurance Series"....and I believe that it is outdated....

If you look in that sam "Events" index, and click on "Monza," then click on "Teams," that list seems fairly accurate, but as of this morning it did not include either one of the Taurus entries...

Other sites are reporting Lister's absence as well... if you look at the "Monza Weekend" thread and the "Post Monza LMES" thread, there are many sites that are referenced as sources that also say that Lister will not be at Monza...

Finally, an anonymous Forum member who receives accurate info from various sources, etc.,.... also has confirmed with "good" sources of his/hers that the Entry List that other sites have posted (including the list on the "LeMansNews.net site in the LMES section) is accurate....

That list does not include Lister....but does include both Taurus cars...

I know it is confusing, and I guess we won't really know who is there and who isn't until scrutinieering is done today and tommorrow morning, but everything I've read says Listeer will not be at Monza...

Hope that helps...

We've got some good picks going here....

The Kondo has made its way onto a list, and RollCentre seems to be a solid top 5 choice....

I'm surporsed that we're not seeing the Pesca on more picks...


They've been quick this year at Paul Ricard and at the LM "Test Days" with the new Judd GV5....

[Tim Northcutt]

Zytek...with one team or another...also seems to be making the lists of many....

Hope the race is as diverse....and places are switched the way we're moving the cars around....

lol i end up finishing last. seemed like an exciting race (by judging by the T&S and Fab's comments). cant wait to see it on TV in a month (stupid Speed TV)

next race up for this championship is the 24hrs of Le Mans. For that race, the format will be a little diffrent. it will be for sure double or triple points. (so if you do well in the 24hrs, you will have a better chance at the championship)

[Tim Northcutt]

Thanks for doing this, 19Dodge....

BTW...exactly how do the points awarded break down?

Is it a certain number of points per correct pick in the exact spot they finished in, with lesser points if a car makes the Top 5, but you had in in the wrong spot???

An IRL Picks forum has 5 pts. for a correct pick in the spot they finised, with 1 pt for cars selected for Top 5, but actual finish being different than the place picked by the const participant...


Just wondering...
