Surely that fluorescent marker pen must have run out of ink by now?!

Kolles should be going to Stabilo for sponsorship......

Why do people still go on like this program is a joke or something? If you dont want them on the grid let them know at INFO@BYKOLLES.COM

I think the fact they've kept at it and continue to throw money at the project should be applauded, I hope they go well this year

I like them too. I think the car painting is not ready yet, we should see TCS, HEKI, OMP, PMC etc etc

RedSquirrel · 5 Apr 2018, 18:19 (Ref:3813055)

I quite like the car, it's a fine-looking machine. The leading edge of the headlights might be different, more laid back that before. Probably just my imagination.
The livery is nice too.

Where did you get that idea? Hopefully not from me. I'm delighted to see them on the grid - I just wish they would show a bit more imagination and creativity with their livery.....

Im very sorry, my early comment was not aimed at anyone in particular. It just feels to me that often the team is the subject to alot of jokes. Granted some of them are understandable but the teams worked hard to try and improve the car and has stuck around in the LMP1 class when they had no competition. (works teams aside)

I agree with you on that. They're the punching bag but they have stuck around for all this time and they are back again with arguably the best engine in the lmp1 class aside from the Toyota.

I like them too. I just don't see how can they fund such an expensive operation.

**Adam43** · 7 Apr 2018, 08:07 (Ref:3813498)

6th fastest after 23 hours, as you can see clearly on the timing sheet

Well it’s Kolles so that’s anyone’s guess.

I suspect this gang is probably one of the most pleased to their effort in the entire paddock this weekend. No seemingly worries reliability side, fair amount of laps collected - which they almost never seem to be able to do tbh - and decent best time set in the night, presumably not in empty fumes either

Also this now seems more reality than pipedream!

“After Le Mans [this year] we will race the second car,” Ravetto told Sportscar365. “The more guys we have around us, the better it is and the more choices we have.”

TF110 · 7 Apr 2018, 17:14 (Ref:3813699)

Two ByKolles are better than one that's for sure.

That is great news for the team. Assuming the ACO grant them the position..... But come on, of course they will, right?

They would be complete idiots if not

Besides the field isn't 'fixed' for anything else except Le Mans 2018

For all we know there could be 15 LMP1s lined up for Sebring 2019

Would be?

Tique · 7 Apr 2018, 17:53 (Ref:3813721)

I don't think that the ACO will give them problems if they want to put a second car on the track. The only raced that is "sold out" for the cars is Le Mans. If they can have extra cars for the other races, they should let them participate as G-Drive is doing this yer at Spa or Tockwith Motorsports has done last year.

NOW, having said that, of course they have done such lunacies before, such as turning down privateer Riley Viper from one of the COTA 6 Hours events (don't remember which) even though they only had micro field of only 30 something entries anyway, but regardless that was just an one-off entry, and also GTE-AM which is hardly comparable to LMP1. Category which they of course desperately want to have strong in numbers, as their social media outlets show

Yes and even there specifically LM 2018.

LM 2019 still has 24 vacant entry spots (or more if one of the current full season WEC entries drop out)

Endurance-info.com saying that ByKolles drivers for Spa have been decided. Webb, Kraihaimer and Dillman.

Two pay drivers and one OK low-waged driver.

Who is the other pay driver with Kraihamer?
And regardless of that, it's a decent line-up.
Dillmann has shown speed in practically everything he's driven, Webb has speed and the experience of winning an international 24-hour race, and Kraihamer, while undoubtedly there due to money, is solid and consistent.

Webb, rather obviously.

No need for the sarcasm, if it was obvious I wouldn't have asked...

Ok, sorry about that. Playboy driver. Dillman is a proper pro.
