The only steer I'll give you is that any talk of an R10 is way (even waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!) off base.
Particulalrly since Shorty has said he's announcing his choice om Thursday and Audi haven't announced anything on their intentions yet (usually the Essen Motor Show is the venue for that). |

Absolutely - The answer will be out there by tomorrow and of course it's very nice to see speculation on the basis of a sure-fire 2007 entry

I suppose what I should have said is that Audi Sport UK's support was not enough compared to Sam Li's expectations given Veloqx's operating costs. It all comes down to the same thing: Mr Li had to put too much of his own money in 2004 and was not willing to do the same in 2005. |

[QUOTE=Aerodynamic]Still think Zytek here[T/QUOTE]
Apparently, he did look at the DBA when John Nielsen was selling it but opted for the pair of Dallaras so it is a possibility. The only problem with that is, after having to deal with 'new car' issues (waiting, crash tests etc etc) on the Radical, I doubt that he would like to go through the same again. I would still bet on a Lola (with a Judd engine) as it is ready to go. |

He is in Japan signing a deal with Nissan. At least that is my guess Or in France signing a deal with Henri Pescarolo.

He might not have gone far.... For those unaware of the geography of the Huntingdonshire area, the Lola factory is only 3 or 4 miles from Rollcentre's place.

Of course, he could just be stuck in the 18 mile queue we had on the A14 yesterday.....

...but you'd be competing with "HDi-FAP" - which just sounds toilet

Hello
Porsche RS Spyders as LMP1. Well why not if everything else can be upgraded from LMP2 to LMP1. For what its worth I think Shorty has had a disapointing year with Radical and is looking for something that is fast and reliable. Like others have pointed out he has Deutsche Bank sponsorship and perhaps some back door chatting has produced results. Roll on Thursday. Nick |
