Sebring Entry List Due Soon...
I believe that the deadline is Jan. 28 or 29 for entries to Sebring...
We should be seeing a list either at the end of the week or the first of next week... In addition to the announced ALMS teams, a RollCentre Dallara, the TVR's, a Morgan Aero 8, and if I remember correctly, some aspect of the Audi UK contingent will be coming... Any other possible LMES types, or cars coming out from Europe in March??? -any of those Zyteks? -Taurus Sports ran last year...will they be back??? -What about Team Goh??? - Nasamax was here last year, but the "Conversion" of the Reynard alluded to in another thread tells me they're not coming this year. - Lister also came...are they coming back??? - Any of Europe's MG-Lolas??? a site called SebringFans.com alluded to the newest WR as a possible entry... Any GTS or GTs making the trip???? How about any North American entries that we are not aware of???? A privateer operation with a Panoz LMP1???? How about the guys who campaigned it last year??? Their drivers seem to have been scattered everywhere, but I didn't know if we should be expecting news... Have I missed anything??? Your thoughts... |

I cant imagine no Ferrari's in the ALMS , I reckon there is going to be some big news about that soon . Raffanelli is way too quite to be not involved in some way . Just pure speculation on my part
Oh yaeh , your also getting a Rollcentre Dallara Last edited by The Badger; 26 Jan 2004 at 20:12. |

I've been reading a lot about it, but wanted to be sure I'm thinking of the same team... |

Does anybody know if the rollcentre dallara has the same engine (judd) as in 2002? I know that they bought the car from oreca.

Yes they will be using a 4 Litre Judd V10 although they did look at using the 5litre but with such a short (no pun intended!) time to Sebring didn't want to start messing around with the car.

I thought that Judd leases their engines....
and from what I've read in other posts on this, the Dallaras were supposedly sold as rollers for about $300,000 each.... Given these items above, I'm assuming that RollCentre has signed a lease agreement with Judd for the 4.0 L power... Please correct any errors in this post...I just wnat to know if this info is still considered correct....at least as I undestand it... |

We viseted racing for holland a couple of months ago. They said that they leased their judd engines. I assume that they have the same kind of agreements with rollcentre.

i can confirm that Konrad will enter at least one saleen at Sebring. They also have plans to run at other select alms races.
I would also assume that either RML or GNM will be at Sebring with a saleen. |

Barron Conner was the first official entrant for Sebring, which was on the ALMS/IMSA website. Sullivan and Bosch handing Scott Atherton the paperwork and check. They were in Paris. Atherton isn't based in Paris, is he? I was confused as to why they were in Paris.
Rollcentre Dallara=COOL! Tell them to stick around for a fee more races on this side of the pond. |

Just a thought ..... but im thinking that you might find Jan Lammers in the other second 575 . About the time of the Bosch rumour last year , Lammers was next to be found in a Prodrive Ferrari at PLM . Coincedance or wishfull thinking on my part ?

Tim, your mail above isn't far from the truth, additionally a substantial(!) spares package as well that Oreca had. Lease is for the 4ltr and will have the paddle-shift (which worked so beautifully for RfH Dome's) wired in.
FYI - car should be shaken down in the UK mid-Feb then in Estoril for testing end Feb prior to being flown to Sebring. There may be a few talented guest testers aiding the cause as well ! |

To Fieldgate:
There is a thread on the Dallaras that someone else started that I hope that you will visit and share your thoughts with us concerning a possibility of a working agreement of some sort that might be possible with Dallara....if both parites would like to have a mutually-beneficial relationship for the future... |
