Hi,

It's time to create the official thread of the next LMS round, running in about two weeks

Discuss everything you want about the 1000km of Spa in Belgium

After Barcelona and Monza I hope big battles in all classes for Spa too

Looking at the Monza live timing page address, live timing for Spa should become available in here.

Eurosport live streaming page is here. But the actual stream for the race must be on, before I can get the mms address.

Marcel ten Caat · 28 Apr 2008, 17:23 (Ref:2189395)

What we do know (but what is certain these days...):

- Strakka Racing to enter its Aston Martin DBR9
- Lavaggi returns after missing Monza.

minimangler · 28 Apr 2008, 19:12 (Ref:2189492)

Yes, we do seem to pick up and drop entries.
Are JetAlliance doing it again this year?

How do you get the mms addres out of that?

LeMans.pt · 28 Apr 2008, 20:46 (Ref:2189583)

Any news about second Epsilon Euskadi? How much time do they need to built a LMP???

Hugo, they need a sponsor and drivers, the car should be ready.

Dario911 · 28 Apr 2008, 22:32 (Ref:2189668)

In your opinion Spa is better for Audi or Peugeot charatheristics? I would see Audi to win again!

It was surprisingly easy.

Once you get the stream running on Eurosport's page, check its properties (by right clicking on it) for html-url and copy-paste it into VLC player. Now looking at "media info" in VLC you can see the mms-url. Just copy-pasting the hmtl-url into Windows Media Player should be enough, if you just want watch it.

Can't believe it.... pilots grows in trees in Spain...

just kidding...

supermario21 · 28 Apr 2008, 23:05 (Ref:2189692)

We will also see the debut of the ex-Charouz Lola in the hands of Greg Pickett and Klaus Graf. This car could be another dark horse, especially when Jan Lammers gets behind the wheel at Le Mans.

The Badger · 28 Apr 2008, 23:11 (Ref:2189695)

Whatever happened to their planned 3 races before Le Mans ?

I sincerly hope they are at Spa , otherwise a car that was a class act last year , might turn into a right crock of !!!

supermario21 · 29 Apr 2008, 01:23 (Ref:2189721)

According to Klaus Graf's website the car will be at Spa, and was going to be at Monza until a last minute conflict came up with Greg Pickett. Hopefully we'll see it.

not of the level they want/need... To get on that car you need to be a De la Rosa, Serviá or one of the two fine gentlemen that drive it now. They won't go for young guns.

Tough to say as the R10 has never been there. Peugeot will probably have the edge on pace as it has been the case up to now but Audi showed at Monza thiey can counetr that with tactics, should be a very well fought race with grinding teeth after the Monza contact between Lamy and Rocky

minimangler · 29 Apr 2008, 11:12 (Ref:2190047)

Spa is fast and sweeping- and Peugeot have not only more power, but it seems a better chassis. Barring a miracle, it's going to a 908.

Osella · 29 Apr 2008, 11:14 (Ref:2190049)

I haven't really studied the Monza race - do Audi have a fuel economy advantage?

A little bit.

#8 Peugeot did first 4 pitstops after 49:03 min, 1:33:42, 2:21:46 and 3:04:57. That gives stints of 49 min, 44 min, 48 min and 44 min.

#2 Audi after 56:01 min, 1:45:18, 2:30:45 and 3:19:02. So stints of 56 min, 49 min, 45 min and 49 min.

minimangler · 29 Apr 2008, 16:53 (Ref:2190350)

Audi were doing 30+ laps and Peugeot 27.

I hope Jetalliance will be there again. Last year they were still in the neigbourhood after the 24h Spa race. Maybe they will go from home a week earlier to stop at Spa (with a detour) to the Monza FiaGT race.

I thought the belgian team said they would do a full season with there GT1 Porsche BiTurbo. (But they didn't show up last year at the Spa race either... guess still lacking great speed)

Kai · 29 Apr 2008, 17:21 (Ref:2190375)

I hope this is not in bad taste, but any idea who will replace Ortelli?

I hope the Car is Ready for Spa Race......

Don't count on it.

The provisional entrylist has 47 entries, including the second Epsilon and the James Watt Automotive Vantage.

No second Creation or second Oreca cars (as expected).
