If it is true it is a real problem wanted to see practice and support races on saturday and actual race, now stuck with missing stuff and nothing happening on sunday except drive back to port for 23.15 ferry.

If you can come up with nothing else, the German Porsche Sports-Cup will race at the Nürburgring-GP-track that Sunday - entry is free, it's not really that far from Spa and you could also turn some laps on the Nordschleife.

We can't complain about lack of media coverage then complain again when a step is taken to avoid an F1 conflict to hopefully gain more TV and online coverage. If it was me I'd run all races on Saturday and run into the dusk.
Obviously it's an inconvinience for those who've already booked. |

Up to now we have just about ten weeks to the race, they should shake their legs and finally make an offical announcement...

Poor, very poor. |

We all know why, as revealed by ES earlier. It doesn't make sense thou, are they fearing that Eurosport's 20-minute highlight broadcast won't get enough viewers? Hopefully there isn't any further rescheduling for similar reasons (Silverstone and Estoril are on the same clash course).

Hence wondering WHY... It may happen again, or it may be unrelated to Bernie's Flying Circus...

Not sure that my rover estate fully loaded with gear and people will be suitable for a few laps of the ring but friend taking his s2000 will probably give it a go.

Because that is just the full season LMS entry list and not the Spa 1000 KM entrylist.
Deadline for entries is 6th of April 2011 at midnight |

Don't forget any ILMC entries will need to show up here or run the risk of being slung out of Le Mans

62 cars!!! Don't think I've seen that many in sports car racing, mind you, only started watching it proper in 2008 :P ! Lucky that Spa is a big enough track!

There can't be much of a difference between the ILMC + LMS grid as the maximum number of cars to race at Spa is 64.
Organisation preview mentions Acura in LMP1 btw |
