I wonder if we might see a Aston in GT2?? Wasnt it commented on RLM that Aston Martin would like to see a Vantage in GT2?

I was on badboyvettes.com during the 24 hours and they had a live chat up. the guy that runs corvettemotorsport.com was on there and he said that at that point in time phoenix was only going to run one car. Then Johnny O came on and the guy told him that phoenix was lookin for drivers for the other car. Johnny said he was interested in the ride so well see what happens. maybe he'll drag his buddies from that factory over with him. this is all speculation, but i did see the discussion go down.

I'd love to see rocket Ron at Spa , love to hear what he thinks about the track . I remember the first time he drove at Le Mans , the pit crew said that he was "WooHooing" all the way down the Mulsanne !!!
Yeah ..... Fellows-O'Connell at Spa would be brilliant . Will any of the other Corvette teams recieve any support from Pratt & Miller for the event ? Last edited by The Badger; 1 Jul 2008 at 09:13. |

Phoenix could go either way. Planetlemans initially had a 1-car operation on the list, but after some rumours (like the one from c6rfan34) and the fact that double car could mean double points for the team championship the second car was put back again.
Last year at Zolder they entered a second car to score points in an attempt to win the title, with the championship this close until now they would probably be silly not to enter their second car. But in the end...$$$ talks. |

Best memory from last year?
Standing above the pits, down at the bottom end. Free access! Being IN the PK pit around 2AM for a stop. Sitting in the cafe behind the pit grandstand, eating frites, drinking coffee, watching cars climbing Raidillon in the rain, listening to Lambos howling out onto Kemmel. We meant to visit the BAR over Kemmel, but somehow it just never happened... Just so VERY laid back, and friendly. LOVE the place, but just cannot do it this year, unless I sell either the bike, or the cameras! |

the CR Scuderia line up for Spa is huge, as strong as the "factory" AF Corse squad and nice to see Dirk Muller back !

Indeed both CR cars have very strong driving line up's, so too though does Scuderia Ecosse. Looking at this years entry list there is potentially 7 cars with a realistic chance of winning in GT2, GT1 competition is looking good too with around 9 cars in the class realistically capable of winning although my money would be on either the #1 Vitaphone MC12 or the #10 Gigawave DBR9. Fingers crossed too that there will be further additions to the entry list.

Tips for first timers? Watch out for those who take minimal french as an excuse to overcharge...ask Tim about that Also...take a walk round the whole circuit. It's miles, but it's worth it. And if you haven't popped into a CRS garage before, do it, they're friendly, and good for a chat- especially Chris Niarchos himself. Eat some frites! Guaranteed to be the best chips you'll ever eat. Watch the start from Eau Rouge- I didn't, and regretted it. Go into Spa the town- it's lovely. Have a good one on me, as my finances went pop |

Gavin is looking elsewhere that weekend for racing, so dont expect to see him there. The main car will have the 2007 lineup. Also Corvette Motorsport will be at Spa with Phoenix and will have TONS of good stuff on their site including a live 24 hour C6R onboard streamed exclusively and pre race week videos as well. Live coverage will be shown on that site as well for this weekends race....FYI. Last edited by Sportscarguy08; 2 Jul 2008 at 23:49. |

Planetlemans entrylist has Andrew Thompson in with Gigawave, its a good driver lineup for them with Darren Turner joining Peters and Simonsen. Anyone have an idea who the four German drivers in the second Phoenix Vette might be?

Jos Menten isn't German.
Timo Scheider? Uwe Alzen? There's two off the top of my head that could do a good job. |

I noticed somewhere, can't remember where, that there was a possibility that DKR would enter one of their Corvettes at Spa. Has anyone got any more information on that?

Also I will have a lineup for you soon...CMS might announce it before I am allowed to say per request from the team. After all that site was the first to announce the pairing with GMAC and Phoenix before anybody else had it, so look for it there. |

Alexander Margaritis, Jos Menten and Robert Schlunssen will be on the #6 Phoenix Corvette. The Article on endurance says that the 4th driver might be an official Corvette driver.
