Westbrook says it's not working, when the series becomes semi-professional. Am I right?

Besides, Richard will drive in ALMS, as I understand.
Yes, i speak to Richard quite often and he reckons there will be riots when they come to doing the driver classification's.

would surprise but delight me if that were to be true, the car doesn't deserve the apparent neglect from the factory that it has received.

I think you're right. Personally I think GT2's a great premier category. The rules give cars that are fast, look good and have clear and strong links to the road car. Personally I think the GT2 Corvette looks better than the GT1 car.

The problem for GT racing has always been the tendency to over-modify the cars and get into a ridiculous arms race like we saw at Le Mans in the late 90s.

I'd be happier if the current GT2 was the premier category and manufacturers did prototypes if they wanted to do a more bespoke racing vehicle.

Two Vantages in FIA GT2 next year would be a great addition and add another marque to the class apart from Ferrari and Porsche. Any word on drivers for Beachdean yet?

I wondered what the Beechdean dudes were up to since Barwell is leasing the DBRS9 to run in FIA GT3 this year, leaving them carless unless they were stepping down to GT4. I think Howard could benefit from another Brit GT3 year, but good to see some Vantages out there!

Beechdean

I e-mailed Stable racing, they are apparently looking good for 2010, still have no idea who they are

Also AMR are apparently working on the vantage V8 over the winter.

Revised FIA GT2 calendar is out. Oschersleben and Paul Ricard swap places, while Hungaroring has been replaced by a season finale at Enna Pergusa. So we'll have two GT series ending their season around a lake.

Looks like there'll be one more place to run GT2-cars next year:
FG Group that was so far responsible for the Italian "Superstars" touring car series and the World Superbike Championship is starting a European (if Italo-centric) series of GT-sprint races for GT2/3/4/Cup cars.

Here are the dates:
March 28 Monza
April 18 Imola
May 23 Portimao
June 13 Hockenheimring (well done, you *****, that's the Le Mans weekend!!)
September 19 Paul Ricard
October 10 Vallelunga
November 28 Kyalami

All races will be held at shared weekends with the Superstars Touring car series, most weekends also with the European and Italian Ferrari Challenge.

The race format will be 25 minutes + 1 lap, one driver per car.

Not sure if the world really needs such a series and if it will catch on, but the weekend line-up is quite nice and I'd have liked to check it out at Hockenheim - but on the LM-weekend I kinda doubt it... *****!!



FIA GT2 (and I supposse GT3) finishing at Enna is pretty awesome...

Wasn't following FIA GT when they last went there, but loved Enna in GTR2. Looking forward to GT2 going there...whatever complaints we might have about the new GT1 and GT2 series, they got the tracks right.

I assume GT3 will end their season at Pergusa as well.
