B-Racing is just a name or branding if you like, no team at all. The Saleen was run by Austrian Team Brückl Motorsport at Monza and Adria.

Konrad only leases the Saleen's out now they don't run them themselves, Konrad are putting all there effort into Supercup, the odd VLN race and when it finally starts the 24hr Series.

Cool, it gets confusing figuring out which of these smaller teams are branding and which are functional units. I thought I'd figured it out with B-Racing and RS-Line with the touring Foci, but then got myself confused again during the All-Inkl.com/B-Racing phase. Partnerships between two brands for teams confuse me!

Ok , cheers , I just presumed that Konrad were running the car cuz of the Konrad logo's .

Konrad racing went broke, didn't they?....
I thought they didn't run the new Koenigsegg CCGT because they went bankrupt...

I thought Zakspeed were doing the Koeniggsegg project until they hit financial trouble...?

PorscheFanNo1 · 28 Jul 2008, 18:00 (Ref:2259160)

Yes, that was indeed Zakspeed.

Looks like both Moslers have been withdrawn and Kennet Heyer will join the Porsche with Kaufmann, Talkanitsa and Boulay.

Any reason given to why they have withdrawn the Moslers?

Tom.

Marcel ten Caat · 28 Jul 2008, 22:20 (Ref:2259293)

Yes, not being able to compete with the GT2 cars. So basically the same reason why they missed Adria.

New restrictors that were granted for the Oschersleben round did not bring the result they wanted so they are taking another break.

Sounds a bit like they are throwing their toys out of the pram.

Talking of G2 what ever happened to the Saleen that ran at Silverstone with Sean Edwards as one of the drivers?

It´s getting fairly off topic now, but is this is somehow difficult story. The B-Racing / All-inkl.com partnership did not last very long is 2006, they split before the FIA GT Oschersleben round. After that it was all-inkl.com only. The car was maintained throughout 2006 by RS-Line.

It’s not a full season entry, only race by race. Next appearance is most probably Brno.

Johnny1lap · 30 Jul 2008, 08:29 (Ref:2260142)

It looks like ITV4 aint showing any of the race

So will there be any streams for the race?

ITV4 'gave up' the rights to show the FIA GT in the UK just before the Oscherleben round.

Motors TV now have the rights to show FIA GT in the UK with Sky Sports showing a few highlights programmes that last an hour (Channel 4 also show a highlights programme ever now and again).

The only proper live stream that I know of is GT1-Live.

**chunterer** · 30 Jul 2008, 12:52 (Ref:2260290)

Very disappointing coverage. Never had Motors but have got every other channel they've shown it on in the UK in recent years, Eurosport (was on there for yonks) Bravo, M&M and, SKy Sports 3 (although that's just gone from my channels) and ITV4 !!!!!

Quadruple drat!!!

GTfour · 30 Jul 2008, 12:54 (Ref:2260292)

Woohoo !!

Kox,Lammers and Tomas Enge in the Murcielago ! Let's hope the car gets of to a start like it did in the Spa 1000km earlier in the year.

They pulled out of the FIA GT after Monza when they were slapped with a huge fine because Sean brought the car into the pits on the starter motor.

What is wrong with bring a car back to the pits on the starter motor?

I'm surprised that Enge isn't in one of the Aston's.

Exactly, it was either that or cause a full cause caution as the engine died in parabolica.

There are only two Astons running at Spa this year.

1) #33 Jetalliance Racing Aston driven by Karl Wendlinger & Ryan Sharp (Who are the regular drivers for that car) and they are being joined by Alex Müller & Lukas Lichtner-Hoyer out of #36, because Jetalliance have for the last two year only ran one car in GT1 for Spa. And they won't want to replace any drivers, because of the championship and getting points etc.

2) #10 Gigawave Motorsport Aston driven by Allan Simonsen & Philipp Peter and joined by Darren Turner and Andrew Thompson. The deal to give Darren a drive has been done since at least the Monza Test Day and Andrew is their test driver as far as I am aware.

So basically in my opinion there is no room for Tomas to driver an Aston because both cars have four drivers.

Tom.
