FIA GT Race FIA GT Rnd 6: Dijon 1-3 Sep 2006

Hazard · 29 Aug 2006, 19:04 (Ref:1696967)

Pescatori has swapped with Gollin at BMS Aston Martin.

The purpose is to allow as much driver testing of the car by Babini & Gollin as possible by sharing their workload out over the #23 and #24 cars.

#23 will now be Babini & Pescatori
#24 will be Gollin & Ramos

The Zonda of course for Jarek Janis, Antonin Herbeck & Erik Janis is expected also.

What kind of tyres will the Murcielago's new team use ?

Still Dunlop, or (I hope) they'll switch to Michelin (like Racealliance and PSI at Paul Ricard) ?

Dunlop.

:-( no good (IHMO)

**chunterer** · 30 Aug 2006, 15:06 (Ref:1697672)

Sorry to sound off the pace but what's the deal re the Murcialago - Who's running it now then?

cheers new bob, just read it!

Suppose we shouldn't be surprised what with all the razamatazz that B racing put on prior to the series beginning - could only go one way.

So who's this new crowd, same drivers but I don't know anything about the new entrant?

Didn't Reiter switch to Dunlop because the Michelins did not work last year on the mid engined Lamborghini?

mirkob · 31 Aug 2006, 14:49 (Ref:1698567)

Yes, but I dont think it was a great idea :-)

It looks remarkably like the same bunch of guys running the car from where I've been standing so far. I think its just a name change and change of owners/management from the looks of it.

mirkob · 1 Sep 2006, 16:24 (Ref:1699369)

Great start with the Mclaren F1 GTR (BMW v12)

Saleen and Corvette leads the Gt1; no lap (seems) for the Zonda :-(

Shotteh · 1 Sep 2006, 17:41 (Ref:1699405)

Well it seems Janis is back in the Saleen now! I wonder what happened to the Zonda..

Janis back in the Saleen....strange.

I am not surprised the Zonda didn't do a lap.

The Zonda is being its predictable self.

Bramzel · 1 Sep 2006, 20:27 (Ref:1699527)

I think it's fair to say that the Pagani is performing as expected

Hazard · 2 Sep 2006, 15:34 (Ref:1700096)

And pole for Janis & Bert!

Must be an awkward team atmosphere though?

Davies/Biagi 2nd, the GLPK Corvette 3rd.

Race Alliance Aston 4th, Phoenix 5th.

Kinch/Kirkaldy first in GT2 ahead of the two AF Corse Ferrari's.

Nick49 · 2 Sep 2006, 15:39 (Ref:1700099)

Hello

Janis is back in the Saleen and puts it on pole according to the FIA GT website. Well done. So does this mean his defection from the team and then his re-instatement was all about money. Either being paid more or actually being paid in the first place!

Nice to see the Davis/Biaggi Maserati MC12 are in second place and the Corvette third.

Erki · 2 Sep 2006, 18:24 (Ref:1700142)

Sorry I didn't follow Paul Ricard very closely, why wasn't Janis driving there? And who was?

The Pagani will not race tomorrow. Not because of technical problems, but because they are missing some certificate

ger80 · 2 Sep 2006, 21:40 (Ref:1700254)

yes, the cert of the rollcage is missing. Sounds not like a pro team to me.

Nick49 · 3 Sep 2006, 15:33 (Ref:1700802)

Hello

I was working today but managed to keep up with the race in fits and starts by the live timing. Good to see the Davis/Biaggi Maserati MC12 come in first and what looks like a storming drive by Janis to get the Zakspeed Saleen to a very close fourth place. Until I see the race highlights I won't know if it could have been third with a few more laps and what happened to the Corvette.

Now does Janis go back to Zonda?

The Saleen got punted off the track by a Maserati (not sure which one tbh) about half way through the race - there where some hand-bags after the race in the pit-lane.

Quality!

Was it a case of:

Or was someone a bit:

The Real DMN · 3 Sep 2006, 19:15 (Ref:1700910)

It looked like one of the Zakspeed boys (Player seemed to think it was a mechanic) having ago at the Vitaphone driver who pushed the Saleen off. The Vitaphone boss (I assume) pushed the Zakspeed guy away and then dragged his driver into the garage by the scuff of his neck.
