so can we assume that Konrad and Alzen wont be together in 2005? nothing has been confirmed yet.. it would still be nice for AB to run Saleens.. but thats my opinion lol

i think its too soon to assume anything right now... the GT1 scene is so crazy right now as far as what everyone is going to run next year, so i wouldn't expect the picture to become totally clear until after the new year.

Great ! AS we see you in a single seater, are you a sportscars fan too ?

lots of updates: GPC has confirmed its use of two 575s and two 360s. looks like BMS will run three 550s again before switching to DBR-9s in 2006. JMB and Zakspeed/Vitaphone should each recieve two MC-12s if all goes to plan...

2x GPC Giesse Squadra Corse Ferrari 575 GTC

What about C5-R vettes. With the C6-R coming along what have corvette done with those cars? I would think it a worthy buy if you wanted a proven car. Any one know of the possibility of a vette in FIA-GT next year?

Fab · 25 Nov 2004, 04:18 (Ref:1163450)

It makes 29 cars on the grid, with another quite weak year for GT2s, except if more entries are to come... I mean : not by the teams and pilots, but by the lack of diversity...

The GT1 category is exciting...

Some info in this thread, Cambo

A Carsport/Hezemans Corvette would be a good bet I think.

Cambo · 25 Nov 2004, 23:40 (Ref:1164439)

Cheers, thanks Wout.

Fab · 26 Nov 2004, 06:49 (Ref:1164569)

This championship definitely needs the Corvette commitement.

And what a field it could make for 2005 !

Fab · 27 Nov 2004, 07:20 (Ref:1165427)

Don't know if it was mentionned before : it is said on Turbomagazine that Jeremy Main, AM Sports Manager, would like to develop with Prodrive a GT2 on the Vantage V8 basis !

Gossips ? Confirmed ? They want to break the Porsche domination in the small category and offer an alternative choice to the customers... roll on !

BSchneiderFan · 27 Nov 2004, 12:01 (Ref:1165591)

Ferrari and Panoz and TVR and Morgan and Spyker have tried to break the Porsche domination in GT3/N-GT/GT/GT2, but to little avail - Porsche have controlled ther class ever since the 911 GT3-R was rolled out in 1999.

Hello Fab and sorry for the delay as I was away for business....As a matter of fact I am very much a sportscar fan. I tested a Riley & Scott a few years ago in Misano and loved it. I think it is an excellent compromise between performance and tactics

GT2 can use another big player. An AM would be a big boost for the class.

No, I do not think so. Unfortunately LM is a very demanding race in terms of time and budget. The former being eaten up by work and the second being scarce....

But maybe something will come up either in GT or in LMES. Too early to say yet.

Ah ah !

Keep us informed, and fingers crossed !

Gabrio · 29 Nov 2004, 23:29 (Ref:1167547)

Some news on MC12s : definitely no deal with BMS Scuderia Italia plus it looks as if the deal with Vitaphone may also be off...That leaves JMB and Ecurie Ecosse for the moment

BSchneiderFan · 29 Nov 2004, 23:31 (Ref:1167549)

What is this Ecurie Ecosse business? Or do you mean Scuderia Ecosse?

Gabrio · 29 Nov 2004, 23:35 (Ref:1167550)

Guess so...It isn't really clear to the people I've heard...

Bramzel · 29 Nov 2004, 23:36 (Ref:1167551)

So BMS will keep on driving the 550's next year? And the AM's in 2006?

Bramzel · 29 Nov 2004, 23:40 (Ref:1167552)

the vitaphone deal is off? wow.. do you think AB would go back to Konrad saleens though? i dont know.. we will have to wait and see. i personally hope they do.. but, Uwe better take better care of the car!! 1/2 the time it breaks is because of Uwe pushing too hard!!!

19dodge · 30 Nov 2004, 03:04 (Ref:1167614)

so it started off with so many teams wanting maseratis, and its coming down to only a few teams..

JMB SHOULD be able to get 3 Mazzas now. thats if they have the money to do it.

then what about someone like Zwanns? maybe they would want to buy a Maserarti? or is it too expensive for them? GTR had record sales in germany, im sure they can take some of that money and use it towards a new Mazza

I think they will run 2 MC12 but no more.

GTR-game-sales money doesn't go to Zwaans, a limited amount of sponsor-budget goes to Zwaans

The money of the sales goes to Roos & Co., and he's not driving for Zwaans in 2005.
