interesting mix of cars.
only 1 gt1 car though, a quiet race for AT Racing.
i wouldnt like to guess what the difference in speed between an LMP1 car and a renault clio.
too dangerous?

Interesting to see Racing Box back after their problems at the end of LMS.

Looks like a interesting entry, slowly year by year this race seems to be getting a higher calbire of entrants. Should on paper be a easy win for Strakka but with racing box around too perhaps they wont have things all their own way. As for the GT1 entry, yes it is a GT1 car but it is a old GT1 machine and id not be at all suprised to see the front running GT2 cars going as fast if not faster.

I think I heard Hindy say during the Silverstone LMS commentary that Racing Box opted to run at this event rather than at Silverstone. It sounded like they were only budgeted for one more race this season.

Is anybody able to confirm that?

I would go with that; the Corvette won't have any pros aboard, it'll be the Talkanitsas (Jr and Sr?).

Subaru_WRX_STi has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
the Gold (sports cars) and Silver (touring cars) will run at the same time, or they have seperate races ?

In the past there was a race on saturday (silver cup) and sunday (gold cup) from Mirkob's post I understand they race together this year. I assume because of lack of entries.

It would make sense to do the home race to appease the sponsors.

Why not? It would hardly be the first time that a team has shown up to this event with a current LMP car, the Lister squad in 2004 and perhaps the Norma in 2007 being the most recent examples that I can think of.

I think he means they'll show up with their new Acura instead of their former Zytek which is now for sale.
