Yakuncha should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
How realistic is the Vitaphone rumour I wonder?

Sounds interesting, but if Vitaphone go to Lexus, then who gets the Alpina?

Phoenix? Hegersport?

I'm not suprised that Vitaphone is leaving the MC12. Its needs too many waivers to race.

The Vitaphone livery should look great on an LFA.

I don't think its waivers at all, its likely just time to move on. This way a new car can built to current regulations instead of adapted which always has disadvantages.

Its also likely the car is no longer supported by Corsa Clienti

Are we sure Vitaphone will stay in FIA GT1? With DTM getting new rules and probably a boost I can imagine they switch back to that series.

I guess it's something of a case of big fish, small pond. If they went to DTM they'd be a "B-Team" at best.

Also, aren't the changes in DTM not going to be kicking in at least until 2012 anyway?

With Opel possibly returning and Vitaphone having raced with them before they could be a favoured team-perhaps.

I'd like Vitaphone to stick with GT1 anyway, if this Lexus rumour is true, it would make sense seeing as though Vitaphone are a very good team and Lexus would be looking for a solid squad to run their cars.

Livery would look good to on an LFA

I think the grandfathered in cars were only given a 1 year reprieve anyways, so the MC12's time is up after this year anyways.

No, Ratel has confirmed that C6.R, DBR9 and MC12 are homologated for 2011.

Two years, not one. However the MC12 is the oldest car on the grid and its surely time to move on. Vitaphone are a great outfit, I wonder if they'd find the resources to run cars in both GT1 and GT2...?

New cars are allowed next year but I don't think any of the current manufacturers will enter until 2012.
