The hope is that the Spa 24 doesn't scare away some of the pre-Spa regulars from continuing as so often does happen after the 'highlight' of the season. But I think that's where the Blancpain is a little different from the rest.
The 2 McLarens will be very interesting to watch. A little more luck, a shorter race, and we could see them at the level we saw them at the British GT round at Spa. 2 weeks to go! Can't find a provisional entry list anywhere. |

Ah, totally forgot about that one. Circuit looks quite interesting. Even has a 'flat oval' variant.
I take it this is the first major race at the Slovakiaring? It had to be an Austrian building it for it to have a name with "ring" at the end. Brno now has a contender in the area. |

They've mainly had national or regional series like the FIA Central European Zone Trophy (which was there last year with BOSS GP). Event had 14,000 spectators in 2010.
This will be the first major international event it seems...so could be even more. Not sure if tickets are more expensive though. |

 @ Nick6. Pretty much sums it up. Porsche Curves, the program was plagued with problems, namely funding and the fact that AMG wanted nothing to do with tuning the Mercedes V12 found in the Zonda leading to a lack of power and reliability.

Always had a feeling there'd be a Gulf MP4-12C ever since I asked them about sponsorship....

And Quifel-ASM have also purchased McLarens... as well as Boutsen Energy.
As for Doerr Motorsport, are they the VLN team? Does that mean McLarens in the Nurburgring 24h next year?

Definitely one to watch even more with the addition of the GTR and the McLaren.

I hope this race is as good as Monza or Spain because other than the Spa 24h which was dominated by the evil Audi Galactic Empire Blancpain has produced some of, if not the best sports car racing I have seen this year.
Should be even better with the Mclaren brigade, and despite their Spa 24h I expect quite a bit from them. |

One of our members on here (could've been Japanese Samurai) posted a while back that they had seen underbonnet photos and it was the V6 production engine albeit modified. The car looks brilliant in that dark blue by the way.

Why is this weekend in Rhino's Leipert Motorsport (Tielemans/Vähämäki/Vollmair) another car not involved in Magny-Cours?

Maybe they ran out of money?
At Red Bull ring, the Leipert Lamborghini didn't seem to have any issues. Neither at Spa, despite the crash. Last time they ran 2 cars seems to have been at Navarra, back in early July. On another note, interesting First Practice with the Bartel's Vita4One Ferrari in the lead, followed by the 2 Audis at the front of the championship. The Westbrook/Brabham Nissan ended up in 11th, not bad. The McLaren's? 19th and 21st. Pierre Kaffer is in the car with Christodoulou and Klaas Hummel. Strange that Chris Goodwin ain't there. It was raining though. http://www.blancpain-endurance-serie...20Practice%201 |
