LMS Round 1 - HTTT Paul Ricard - 2/3 April 2011

Coach Ep · 27 Feb 2011, 09:01 (Ref:2837399)

Here's the timetable (no Friday shown although it is a 3-days event).

vyselegend · 27 Feb 2011, 09:59 (Ref:2837413)

I'll probably hit the track saturday noon, as I have family to see before. Hope I'll get there in time for Qualy...

I won't complain too much (at least we're not spoiled from a full day like those going to Spa), but generaly I'm disapointed by the organisation. Tickets are 5 euros more expensive than last year, yet the race is two hours shorter, and entry level is sinificantly reduced, though admitedly it's not something local organisers could prevent.

I still hope for a good race, looking forward to how fast those Toyota powered Rebellions will look, and glad to see a Pescarollo too. Still waiting for the entry list, with some late minutes additions?

The AMR-One is expected to test for the first time in early March.

Yay!

I didn't even dare to hope about such quality addition when I was raindancing for some surprise entry! Now I have at least one big reason to get exited (and double-check my camera's status before leaving to the track).
Bring on april! (erm, let's watch Sebring first...)

Thank you Chiana, your post really made my day!

There was a note on DSC a few days back that Qatar-based team FUA Racing planned a 'limited' LMS season in FLM, and were expected to be at the forthcoming LMS test.

Another possible addition to the entry list for Ricard?

Mal · 4 Mar 2011, 06:17 (Ref:2839986)

It appears this race will be shown live and in full on Motors TV

Excellent!

Graham Goodwin · 4 Mar 2011, 10:46 (Ref:2840054)

Yes, correct - Ricard and Estoril will be live on Motors

Coach Ep · 9 Mar 2011, 17:21 (Ref:2842833)

According to DSC both the YD Vantage GT2 and Kronos Lola-Aston Martin are expected to join the PR + Spa LMS races + the LM test day as preparation for a possible participation in the big race.

Really great news. I figured the Kronos thing would completely disappear after the snub.

Victor_RO · 20 Mar 2011, 21:21 (Ref:2850242)

39 cars on the provisional entry list. http://www.endurance-info.com/2011_L..._HTTT_Race.pdf

The new Aston has Primat/Mucke/Turner behind the wheel
Rangoni Motorsport now entered under the MIK Corse banner
AF Corse really serious about a win, Fisichella/Bruni and Melo/Vilander.. 5 new Ferraris vs. 4 Porsches and 2 Astons
No Kronos Lola-AM

cmk · 20 Mar 2011, 21:42 (Ref:2850253)

Probably the two AF Corse 458s are in aid of development for the new beast. What better way to do it than to send the factory hordes out at Ricard...

Joe Taylor · 20 Mar 2011, 23:45 (Ref:2850309)

I thought Guess Racing Europe were entering an open top Mazda rather than a coupé Judd. Is this a mistake on the entry or a change of plans?

eizox · 21 Mar 2011, 18:55 (Ref:2850738)

is it worth noting that the aston for paul ricard is numbered 009? im wondering if this implies a full season entry for the 009, as they've announced that they're gonna run 2 cars at spa, and i think its pretty much dead cert that they're gonna have 2 cars at silverstone, so its only Imola and Estoril they'd need to additionally enter

rich07 · 21 Mar 2011, 23:55 (Ref:2850894)

No Kronos Aston on the entry list? A bit disappointing.

Ferrari is throwing everything at the 458-and they should, they'll need all the development they can do before Le Mans.

I had thought the same . If its correct , its possibily one of the Racing Box /Mik cars , updated , as they seem to be running a Zytek/Hybrid now ?

Pandamasque · 22 Mar 2011, 12:12 (Ref:2851165)

That's why the team is called 'Guess (what we are) racing, Europe'

vancecooley · 22 Mar 2011, 15:41 (Ref:2851312)

Will there be a way to watch this in the states through live streaming? And since I'm not much of a world traveler, what time of day in US central time is this going to be?

Google is your friend

http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_FR.aspx

subtract the number on the screen with the time it is for you and add it to the french site scheduale

I dont know about live streeming.

Deleted · 22 Mar 2011, 16:43 (Ref:2851345)

Since it's shown on Motors, any (legal) streaming is unlikely.

That was pretty good!

So I guess (no pun intended) that Dyson is the only Mazda team this year.

Ive seen an entry list (below) that says that Guess will race 2 chassis , one a coupe with Judd power and the other an 05 with Mazda power .

I'm not sure whether that entry list is 100% trustworthy, it doesn't have the new Aston Martin on it. The other entries look correct, but I have a suspicion LMP1 isn't fully updated.

There are so many errors on that list, Westbrook listed in Prospeed, Pilet/Narac listed for IMSA in GTE-Pro when it is Pilet/Henzler
