Hopefully cellulostic ethanol can become more popular and replace corn based distillation. |

"Last year, the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council and VP Racing Fuels introduced E10 (10 percent ethanol, 90 percent gasoline) to all other manufacturers. This year, the series and its partners also will offer E85 to competitors in addition to E10; the E85 is a second-generation, cellulosic ethanol made from waste material (Competition, Dec. 3, 2007)." Does anybody know if teams using the E85 fuel will be allowed to have a larger fuel tank to compensate for lost fuel efficiency? |

I listen to farm radio more than rarely and anyone here who wants to see what the ethanol boys are saying, find a station that broadcasts farm news AND LISTEN. If you believe their dogma, then you probably believe there is a pill that turns water into gasoline. If the racing fuel is fifteen percent alcohol, it is fifteen percent alcohol period. This its not street E85 makes not difference, it is fifteen percent alcohol no matter how you look at it. |

Does anyone know if they will require onboard cameras this year? I know they did in 2005 but later they stopped mandating it because of the move away from eurosport coverage.... |

There is some hope, the P&M people are on Horsepower TV this morning.
If the IMSA people would do more to pull in the crowd that follows such shows, they actually might get somewhere. |

"14/02/2008: Phoenix Carsport to double up their Corvettes for 2008 !
Phoenix Carsport have announced their plans for the 2008 season on their web site. The team stated that "Phoenix Carsport will see the addition of both a second C6R Corvette as well as 2 new drivers." The 001 chassis, which raced in the FIA GT Championship last year, will be raced by the all-Swiss line-up of Marcel Fässler and Jean Denis Delatraz. The second car, which was the chassis 005 from the 2007 ALMS season, will be shared by Mike Hezemans - leading the FIA GT Championship in races and pole positions - and 2004 Champion Fabrizio Gollin. All four drivers were victorious in the 2007 edition of the Total 24 Hours of Spa. GMAC have also announced that they will be partnering the team as one of the main sponsors." From the FIA GT site. |

Does this good news mean that Phoenix Carsport is going to be some sort of a semi works team?
Does anyone know if they have applied for Le Mans ? They could give the Pratt&Miller team some very good and needed backup and they have shown that they can also win a 24 hour race. |

I reckon they will have semi-works status . GM are supporting them with sponsors , so I would expect something else to go along with that too .
As the Lola Audi is now finished , I would expect to see their Corvette at Le Mans ...... those 21 entries came from somewhere . |

I would tend to agree that this is one of those teams that is a likely candidate to be of the 21 entries applied for in GT-1, but there is the Adria race just 6 days after LeMans so?? L.P. |

This is good to hear from Corvette. I first saw this story on Corvette Motorsports website yesterday...soon followed by others. A press release should be out later with more details. The 005 car is still in detroit. Not sure when it will be shipped to EU. |
