Reynards versus LOLA

VIVA_Carpentier · 3 May 2003, 09:19 (Ref:588291)

Can the Reynard be better than the LOLA in the next three race???

Where can we see the Vasser, Manning, Haberfeld, Hunter-Reay and Montiero this weekend???

The Lola still is, and will be the chassis to have for a while yet, at the very least. The fact that Players/Newman-Haas, the only real powerhouse teams, use Lola's, makes it even harder for Reynard to notch up a win.

Yeah Lola have the edge for sure,but i can see the American Spirit guys doing a good job at Brands especialy Vasser with his slight track knowledge and balls out style. Hunter Reay will do ok but may visit the scenery a time or two. Suprise package could be Tagliani in the Rocketsport tub. But hey who knows thats the great thing about Cart the unpredictability.

Manning has somehow gotten that thing into contention, but I really don't think the Reynard is a match for the Lola. The other factor is that the top teams who would likely produce a better setup and have better drivers are running Lolas, so the chasis edge may not be as large as it seems. (not just Forsyth & NH)

That's true. Team Players was able to achieve some level of success with the Reynards because they figured out how to set them up. The chasis are the same this year, so we know the Reynards CAN win. But they won't. Look again at Team Players. They switched to Lolas and, oh, they won the first three races. There's know real question that if a team in their first year with a new chasis can win three straight that it's a better chasis!

Yes but there is a difference beween Tracy and Carpentier in team Player's. Tracy had the LOLA last year but not Carpentier. Carpentier said himself than he have again to know the new LOLA...

I think that the knowledges of Tracy(with LOLA) allows to the team Player's to know success at this beginning of season.
