ALMS Rnd 1: 12 Hours of Sebring 14-17 Mar 2007 - Page 5

Loving the new livery on the dyson and hope their practice times can keep pace or pass the Penskes, just can't pull for a car in that terrible livery. and is that mazda team just full of gremlins no matter what they are doing? seems they are always fighting something, including other out of control cars.

prototype · 13 Mar 2007, 14:50 (Ref:1865611)

I think that car (Mazda) has only been run 2 or 3 times. You can't expect it to keep pace with the big boys of lmp2.

I notice they not only do they have the obvious American flag, but also a British and German flag on the nose.

ooooooooooooooooffff, sexual to say the least that is one gorgeous looking RS spyder, i love the paintscheme much better than the yellow penske cars

At least it wasn't Binnie's fault, but I hope no one was injured...

Long gone are the days when a decent sheetmetal worker could repair a damaged chassis on site . Its all carbon fibre now . I reckon its probably gone back to the UK for repairs .

I did hear it was Pecorari at the wheel at the moment of impact ..... very popular at the minute it would seem !!!

The Badger · 13 Mar 2007, 17:50 (Ref:1865706)

The Autocon Lola looks great with dayglo wheels .

Any pics of the B-K car yet ?

Whats the idea behind the cable braces on the Highcroft and AGR LC75's ..... a fix for spliter support ?

dj choc ice · 13 Mar 2007, 18:16 (Ref:1865728)

i agree badger, the autocon MG looks very nice with the dayglo orange wheels very cirtek 06 like imo.

the intersport creation CA06H looks absolutely wonderful very nice paintscheme, in fact one of the best seen on a zytek/ DBA chassis, hopefully they will pick up the pace and get some quick laps in.

after all we know the creation at least last year had the legs on the R10's in qualifying and practise atleast.

paul-collins · 13 Mar 2007, 18:28 (Ref:1865743)

A promo that is showing on the Speed TV news section, is here.

There are some more pics @ the ALMS site but mostly of drivers.

Keep in mind the car was on Michelins then, and it's sitting on Kumho boots now. Also, while both the Fields are rapid, neither are (or I suspect would claim to be) Nic Minassian.

hmmmm true and tbh i dont know how good the kumho's are on an LMP car, clint field is quick not quite as quick as nic minassian but still he should be super quick.

and i keep on thinking that the car is on the bigger wheels at the moment when infact its still on the smaller wheels.

Today I discovered that Speed is back on TVU (channel 53060 / Wheels).

Open http://www.viidoo.com/en/index.php in Internet Explorer and enter channel number 53060.

You can also download the external TVU player.
