Spijt me zeer als ik nu ook dubbel ga doen zoals hier vaker gebeurd, maar het moet even.
http://www.race-rally.be/2005/1000km...os/default.asp Bui lding on a highly successful opening season of Le Mans Endurance Series racing, the five-race series which opens at Spa-Francorchamps on April 17 has attracted no fewer than 37 cars for the ful l season plus six - - at the moment -- on a race-by-race basis. It is l ikely that the grid at Spa will reach 50 cars, well in excess of the 41 cars that started the 1,000 kilometre race last September. “The entries will be around 10 per cent up on last year, which is extremely encouraging” says Patrick Peter. “We have six confirmed entries for the season in LMP1, nine for LMP2, nine for GT1 and 13 for GT2, so we can look forward to very strong competition throughout the grid.” LMP1 Unt i l the French Audi entry is known, the contest in LMP1 will be a four-way affair. Le Mans constructor Yves Courage has returned to the top category with his ‘works’ car, a ‘Hybrid’ version of the Judd V10 powered Courage C60, but has yet to announce his driver lineup. Nicolas Minassian and Jamie Campbell-Walter, who earned two podium position results in the four events last season, wi l l again contest the series in the Creation Autosporti f DBA 03S Judd, a car that is virtually identical to the newer Zytek 04S entries of Team Jota and Zytek Motorsport. Sam Hignett, John Stack and Haruki Kurosawa wi l l share their Team Jota Zytek al l season, whi le Danes John Nielsen and Casper Elgaard, who were the original campaigners of the DBA, will share the ‘works’ Zytek with Hayanari Shimoda. Martin Short and Joao Barbosa will contest the full season in the f i rst of two Rollcentre Racing Dallaras, one powered by a Judd V10 engine, the other intriguingly with a Nissan engine. Laurence Pearce’s Chevrolet powered Lister Storm LMP is listed for Spa, at the moment, with Justin Keen entered to race. Entries for the Belgian opening round close on March 15, and the LMES organisers expect to confirm the Team Oreca Audi R8 entry backed by Audi France, to be driven by Jean-Marc Gounon and Stephane Ortelli, and the bio-ethanol fuelled Nasamax DM139 which showed prodigious straight-line speed last season while finishing f i fth at Silverstone and seventh at Monza. Team Oreca director Pierre Dieudonne does not expect the Audi R8 to show great superiority in the LMES 1,000 kilometre races. “This year the Audi will race with smaller inlet air restrictors, an extra 50 kg weight handicap, to 950 kg, and an 80 l itre fuel tank, instead of 90 l itres. It wi l l be good at Le Mans because i t is bul l et-proof , but i t will not be on pole position.” LEMANSENDURANCESERIES PRESSINFORMATION 22/02/05 LMP2 Numerical l y , Courage dominates the LMP2 class for 750 kilogramme cars with five entries. Two are entered by Paul Belmondo Racing, the latest C65 chassis powered by AER Ford engines. Belmondo himself will drive the lead car with Claude-Yves Gosselin and Didier Andre, with Jean- Bernard Bouvet and Karim Oj j eh in the other. A new team to endurance racing, Kruse Motorsports, has entered a Judd powered Courage C65 for the full season, to be driven by Phil Bennett and Ian Mitchell. The Belgian G-Force Racing team also has a Judd engined Courage C65, drivers to be nominated. Noel del Bello and Jean-Luc Maury-Laribiere, veteran supporters of endurance racing, return with a Mecachrome V8 powered Courage C65, Christophe Tinseau joining Maury-Laribiere at the wheel. Lucchini Engineering, the top team in the FIA Sportscar Championship SR2 category of old, gave its new carbon chassis LMP2 a successful debut at Spa last September and, rewarded with an entry to Le Mans in June, has entered the car for the full season for Pier Giuseppe Peroni and Mirco Savoldi, the 2002 FIA champions. They , too, wi l l rely on Judd engines in 2005. Three Lolas appear in the LMP2 entry, one the familiar, but updated MG Lola EX 257 AER entered by Ray Mallock’s RML concern, owned and driven by Mike Newton with the quick Brazilian Tommy Erdos. Wi l l i am Binnie has the new Lola B05/40 which he wi l l drive with Bobby Julien and Adam Sharp, and they have a Nicholson McLaren V8 engine powering the car. Bob Berridge and Gareth Evans are owners and drivers of the Lola B05/40 AER entered under the Chamberlain Synergy banner, with Peter Owen as the third driver. Their entry is for the Belgian round, and Ital ian Ranieri Randaccio has also made a single race entry, at the moment, for his Nicholson McLaren powered Tampolli . Pierre Bruneau and Marc Rostan, runners-up last year in the LMP2 class and noted for thei r consistency with the PiR Racing Pilbeam, return this season with the latest, carbon chassis Pilbeam MPB93 chassis powered by the JPX engine. LM GT1 FIA GT Champions top GT1 category BMS Scuderia Italia, the FIA GT Champion team for the past two seasons, switches to the Le Mans Endurance Series in 2005 with a pair of Prodrive built Ferrari 550 Maranellos, and are expected to set the pace this season. Christian Pescatori has been signed to lead the team, and endurance racing’s most recognised couple, Lil ian Bryner and Enzo Calderari are expected to drive again for the Scuderia. LMES GT champion Christophe Bouchut again drives a Prodrive built Ferrari 550, but with a new team, Convers, run by Rob Schirle for the Russians Nikolai Fomenko and Alexei Vasi l iev. A fourth Ferrari 550 Maranello is entered by the Czech Menx team, stepping up a category, for Tomas Enge and Robert Pergl. JMB Racing, owned by Jean-Michel Bouresche, has entered two Ferrari 575 GTCs, improved by Ferrari during the winter in the engine and aerodynamic departments. Drivers yet to be nominated. Paul Belmondo has given the LMES total support with two further entries for his Chrysler Vipers to be driven by Didier Sommereau, Jean-Michel Papolla, Pierre Perret, Jean-Baptiste Emeric and Pascal Lacroix. Graham Nash is another stalwart entrant, this year with two Saleen S7Rs l isted for Spa only, to be driven by Rick Sutherland, Gian Maria Gabbian i , Nigel Smith and Ian Khan. The German A-Level Engineering team has entered two Porsche 996 Turbos, one for the full season for lead driver Wolfgang Kaufmann. LM GT2 All 13 entries in the GT2 category are entered for the full season, and these include seven Porsche GT3 RS/RSR, three Ferrari 360 Modena and three TVR Tuscan T400R. Hugh Hayden, owner of the Sebah Automotive Porsche team that narrowly won the class last season, has retired his four-year-old GT3 R and replaced it with the latest RSR, with lead driver Lars-Erik Nielsen. Peter Seikel, a veteran in endurance racing, enters a Porsche GT3 RS for Philip Collin. Vanina Ickx, daughter of Belgium’s six-times Le Mans winner, returns to the Japanese T2M team Porsche. Kenny Chen’s Gruppe M Racing team has a GT3 RSR for Tim Sugden and 17-year-old Jonathan Cocker, who shows a great turn of speed. Porsches are entered by the Autorlando Sport team for Franco Groppi and Luigi Moccia, by the Belgian Gordon team for Yves Lambert and Christian Lefort, and by IN2 Racing for Juan Barazi and Michael Vergers.
