Risi crash not ajor, only body and door damage, mechancs of the car safe, they expect to be back in the night session

Cuttlefish · 18 Mar 2010, 19:10 (Ref:2655051)

Based on Drayson's times, Intersport should replace their crashed chassis with a B10/60 (or even a B10/10 if Lola makes them) with Judd power. I'm VERY impressed by what Drayson, Cocker, and Pirro have been able to do as independents.

broadrun96 · 18 Mar 2010, 19:35 (Ref:2655063)

Any word out of Intersport that they will be replacing it? Assuming they only have one spare so guessing they would want to pick up a second chassis at some point.

Audi Racer · 18 Mar 2010, 19:44 (Ref:2655071)

The 92 BMW E92 M3 sure has a top line up. Dirk Muller, Dirk Werner, and Joey Hand. I think this is going to be the quicker of the 2 BMW's. If i recall Dirk Werner was on the pole here last year in the Farnbacher Loles Porsche.

And what pray tell does that matter? P-1 in 2011 is P-1, full stop!
So what, it would be better if it was a Dome rebadged as a Mazda instead of a Lola chassis?

Intersport has no desire to run a Lola coupe, they like open cars. If they needed another chassis, I'd guess they'd buy one of the older P2 cars and use that.

If Mazda were to build 'their own prototype' it would more than likely be a sourced chassis! Acura did not even build 'their own prototype'! Nor does Audi, in the strictest sense.

Hindy is up for night practice.

L.P.

HORNDAWG · 18 Mar 2010, 23:18 (Ref:2655225)

Ahh, the sweet music of pit lane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

L.P.

AndrewF31 · 18 Mar 2010, 23:44 (Ref:2655241)

Didn't know RLM was having funding problems. Hindy even hinted the whole season isn't secure yet.

HORNDAWG · 18 Mar 2010, 23:48 (Ref:2655247)

Yes still searching on funding!!

L.P.

arakis · 19 Mar 2010, 00:24 (Ref:2655266)

any news whats up with risi, any news

Acid09 · 19 Mar 2010, 00:27 (Ref:2655267)

I´m really baffled about the times the Aston Martin is clocking in, didn't expect them to be this far off the pace of the Pugs.

Very happy for BMW though, looks like the engine is finally competative

WMUCarGuy · 19 Mar 2010, 00:50 (Ref:2655274)

No sign of the Jag for night practice so far. Still repairing it from the fire they had yesterday I assume?

Will they be allowed to compete if they don't complete their laps at night practice?

Marcel ten Caat · 19 Mar 2010, 01:12 (Ref:2655282)

Car had its engine changed during the session.

Jonerz · 19 Mar 2010, 01:13 (Ref:2655284)

They will probably get a dispensation. Though the car hasn't proven itself, the drivers all have and the team is quite capable.

@LP: That was my first live ALMS session on the collective, it was fun!

Hi all,

At the track today. Weather could have been abit warmer, and the wind abit slower (good lord!). Pretty chilly for Sebring and windy enuf to chill.

OK, Pugs are fast - big surprise.

AMR: Look very quick, sounds absoluuuutly wonderful, but are just off the pace of the pace.

DR Lola: Awesome care! Wonderful livery. The car looks like it should be extemely fast, but, it is just a bit off... Even with Emmanuele.

GT2: OMG. This is going to be a real live ding dong (for those of you who remember Gordon Scott. GRHS) These guys are like a bunch of dogs in an alley lookin' for a fight. Right now it's BMW the fastest, with the Ferrari's of ESM right behind them. Then one of the Corvettes, then a Lizard.

Good stuff, but kind of cold with the wind and all.

they are too slow to catch that lions team, oh hell... 3 long sec behind!!!

and worst the rain comes only in sunday, but few drops i guess...

arakis · 19 Mar 2010, 04:00 (Ref:2655338)

I just hear over Radio le mans, that the Falken tire Porsche is the only 2010 Porsche on the gt2 grid, witch is probably why Lizards have been behind all year, well thats a funny disition to make, by the lizard staff, have your cars full of Factory drivers and not give them the latest spec car,

Regarding the Flying Lizard porsche their is one of two situations going on
1. Porsche said that the new spec was not related to the core chassis and crash structure so the new bits could just be swapped to the 2009 car.

2. Flying Lizard is outting a little pressure on porsche to come up with something that is capable of being the best. They didn't buy the new car because it didn't offer any significant performance advantage. Kind of a subtle protest.

Good picture of Risi's damage. Pretty good hit to the door. http://coldtrackdays.blogspot.com/20...-practice.html Its the second to last picture.
