The Corona Saleen is a looker !

Thanks again, Leglizone !

For the poor sods (including me

) whom :
- can't afford the trip to Monza (for the others : I hate you for life)
- don't get Eurosport 2 (for the others : I'm dying of jealousy)
you'll have half an hour of summary on sunday at 18h30 CET on Eurosport 1 *sob*

FYI : forget the box... if you stick to it, you'll have two wheels and tin tops...

One weeks to go for the happy fews (including me

again) whom :
- could afford Spa
- can get MotorsTV

Dani Filth · 8 Apr 2005, 14:43 (Ref:1273362)

the Corona Saleen . WOW WOW . one of the best liveries ever ..

leglizone · 8 Apr 2005, 15:30 (Ref:1273400)

Yes!
The yellow Saleen livery looks very nice but I think it's too similar to the Vitaphone Maserati...

Same here... I like the "true sponsor" looks...

tblincoe · 8 Apr 2005, 17:24 (Ref:1273489)

if you look at other pics of the Konrad Saleens i could swear the wing on the cars are not as wide as the other cars and look like they're almost the same width as the MC-12's wing... anyone else see this?

moss corner · 8 Apr 2005, 18:33 (Ref:1273546)

Does anyone know if the race will be webcastd like they were last year?

leglizone · 8 Apr 2005, 18:45 (Ref:1273557)

I think that the blue of JMB Maserati is the original car colour, like the one run in Sebring this year, for the next race I hope that we will see the true Red Bull colour...

Yes they looks smaller than in the other Gt, while the Lamborghini rear wing looks too big like the 2004 cars...I don't know why...

Rich R · 8 Apr 2005, 19:08 (Ref:1273587)

i thought the rear wings were now as wide as the windscreen of the car, so i don't know why the lambo's wing is that wide.

19dodge · 8 Apr 2005, 20:38 (Ref:1273642)

FIA is using the ACO rules this year, and thats why the wings are that narrow (compared to last year in fia gt)

Dani Filth · 8 Apr 2005, 21:09 (Ref:1273661)

the Maserati rear wing was reduced even more . i think .

I thiinks its the windscreen width, plus a little more.

JAG · 9 Apr 2005, 11:56 (Ref:1273932)

A Ferrari Turbo, who'd have thought!

Little rumour on DSC.

Wout · 9 Apr 2005, 13:54 (Ref:1274002)

After first qualifiying it seems to be a Maserati-Ferrari battle. Wondering what this means for the rest of the season.
I think we can expect more from the Lambo and Corvette during the rest of the season.

Dani Filth · 9 Apr 2005, 14:17 (Ref:1274013)

Jag . would u like to elaborate that little rumour ???

19dodge · 9 Apr 2005, 14:19 (Ref:1274014)

im getting a little concerned over the pace of the Saleens. In the speedtraps, they are the slowest GT1 cars, and last year, they were the fastest.. Is something going on here? i bet its somethint to due with the new ACO rules!!!

I really expected the 5 car to be right in the top 5, but they are 11th after first qual. Its really starting to worry me. (altough Franz Konrad may have driven the car by himself today.. Robert Lechner was in the Nurburgring today, and Walter Lechner Jr is sick)

Its the 575, not 360/430 with factory support.

Thats if the rumours come to fruition.

Dani Filth · 9 Apr 2005, 15:02 (Ref:1274035)

i understand .. 575 . but where does the V8 come ??

I suppose they could build a new one or use the 430 V8.

Rich R · 9 Apr 2005, 15:20 (Ref:1274051)

f40 v8
