I Rosputnik · 29 Jan 2013, 00:58 (Ref:3195514)

Are there still Alpinas and Camaros this year?

Alpina is pulling the plug. Some speculation over at the Super GT thread that it will be moving to that series.

No Camaro, Yaco switched to Audi. The Camaro was too bad.

Here's an interview with Hans Reiter that also includes the Camaro and possible upgrades (attention: it's in Dutch):

Lambda Performance (with their 2013-spec Ford GT) has employed Nico Verdonck and Frank Kechele for the first weekend: https://www.facebook.com/LambdaPerformance

rich07 · 29 Jan 2013, 04:30 (Ref:3195560)

Schubert or Young Driver returning at all?

rich07 · 29 Jan 2013, 08:04 (Ref:3195603)

Those cars are pretty old too, they were around before the Z4s were.

**FIRE** · 29 Jan 2013, 10:31 (Ref:3195657)

Big change for 2013 is the fixed grid size (28 cars?).

GTKers · 29 Jan 2013, 12:34 (Ref:3195706)

Schubert was doing GT open and VLN so I supposed they will pull the plug
Heard rumors that the lack of a TV deal like the years before is causing a lot of troubles as they are loosing a lot of participants. Is that true?

Aaron Rodgers · 30 Jan 2013, 20:40 (Ref:3196333)

It's a pity, this was a huge championship, I think the best all over the world...this year I will not attend at Red Bull Ring..

IndyMeister · 22 Apr 2013, 14:14 (Ref:3237919)

Here's the entry list for O'leben:

Even though the quantity (of differnt cars) isn't there anymore, there are still quality teams and drivers.

zanfo zanfagni · 23 Apr 2013, 21:07 (Ref:3238602)

last year, lambda did a discrete season. This year with less cars could be even better.

IndyMeister · 26 Apr 2013, 17:40 (Ref:3239715)

Pole for Buhk and Götz (both of them!)

BTW The races on Saturday and Sunday (start: 12.15 CET) are shown on German TV station Kabel 1. No web streaming; only regular TV broadcast.

Kechele and Verdonck did reasonably well. But I guess they will be hoping for more rainy weekends to maximise the Ford's strength.

Lambda seems to one of the team that can't catch a break: some highlights but no sonsistency due to bad luck and technical woes.

Maybe that's the reason why Rodrive switched to Lamborghini...

NaBUru38 · 27 Apr 2013, 11:16 (Ref:3239946)

Most cars have a silver driver. Is the grid so (relatively) weak, or are they permissive with drivers grades?

I'd say so. Except the works drivers, there are some of Germany's finest in GT (in no particular order):
Rast, Mies, Kechele, Winkelhock, Hohenadel, Keilwitz, Ash, Ragginger (he's Austrian!), ...

NaBUru38 · 28 Apr 2013, 14:36 (Ref:3240253)

I know, but I'm referring to the duets.

ADAC GT Masters at Nurburgring 1 race start soon -> http://www.free-tivi.net/europe/play/28/Kabel-1

Ginaro Zukovsky · 3 Aug 2013, 10:52 (Ref:3285343)

Danke, funny seeing the two Corvettes taking each out coming out of the pits, and then the leaders coming together!

Speed-King · 3 Aug 2013, 11:00 (Ref:3285344)

I think Keilwitz can still get P2... he's a bit faster than the guys around him...
