DKR: Corvette or Lamborghini ?
Until the race at Paul Ricard, the 2 Corvettes were run as
#11 -> Exim Bank China (SRT - Selleslagh Racing Team) #47 -> DKR Engineering From Ordos on, * the #47 Corvette was run as #12, also with Exim Bank China sponsorship. * #47 and #48 were now Lamborghinis, entered as "DKR www-discount.de" I assumed that DKR has sold or leased its Corvette to STR and that they ran the Lamborginis that Swiss Racing Team had abandoned. But last weekend in an interview on Endurance-Info, Kendy Janclaes said: Q: Depuis la Chine, deux Lamborghini Murcielago sont alignées sous la bannière DKR Engineering/www-discount.de : A: « Vu que la Corvette roule sous les couleurs Exim Bank Team China, j'avais un engagement disponible sous le nom DKR Engineering, d'où les deux Murcielago sous la licence luxembourgeoise. Au final, c'est All Inkl qui s'occupe des autos. » In English: Q: Since China, 2 Lamborghini Murcielago are entered under the DKR Engineering/www-discount.de banner: A: Since the Corvette runs in the Exim Bank China colours, I had an entry available under the "DKR Engineering" name, that's why the 2 Marcieloago run with a Luxembourg license. In the end, All Inkl takes care of the cars. So, in the end * the #47 and #48 Lamborghini are a 3rd an 4th All Inkl car, and have nothing to do with DKR at all, but they're just using the DKR entry? * is DKR still running the Corvette, or did it move to SRT after all? |

Swiss Racing Team withdrew mid season, so entries #5/6 were unavailable. SRT entered with #11/12 even though they only had 1 car initially DKR entered with #47/48 even though they only had 1 car initially It is not possible to make new entry mid season (eg #19/20) Since both Corvette teams had entered '2' cars each, the only way to change teams was for 1 of the Corvettes to be moved and then www-discount.de to take over DKR's entry, so they carried the Luxembourg flag even though they are a German entry |
