Volgens de laatste berichten geen DAMS in Donnington, er is zelfs twijffel of men uberhaupt van start gaat dit jaar met de Lambo.

Zeker van?

De Murcielago R-GT zal in elk geval zijn debut doen in ALMS/Mid Ohio dit weekend. De 2 R-GTs is aangekomen net op tijd aangekomen (gisteren) op het circuit.

Krohn-Barbour Racing has already narrowly won its first race, against time, to deliver the Lamborghinis to Mid-Ohio for this weekend. The two cars were built on behalf of Automobili Lamborghini by Reiter Engineering in Germany. Tight production schedules meant that both cars were airfreighted to the US this week. One arrived in Miami on Monday and was taken by truck to the team's workshop in Braselton, GA; the other was flown out of Frankfurt on Monday night and was due to be taken directly to the race track, naked of race livery. Both cars arrived at the track Wednesday afternoon.

Barbour cautioned: "We've got to be realistic going into this weekend. The Corvette C5-R has more than a year of development behind it and its predecessor raced for several years before that, whereas the Lamborghini has only raced once [in Valencia, Spain, this April, where it finished third in an FIA GT race]. We have to view Mid-Ohio as a settling-in exercise, a chance to get to know the car and how to set it up for best performance. Lime Rock next weekend will probably be much the same. But we've another six races after that, and much as I like the guys who race the Corvettes, there's nothing I'd like more than to put them on the trailer."
