They think because the GT3 Audi last year ran so well, that it will have no problems at Spa. I beg to differ, Spa is a horsepower track and I think the Audi's have been knocked down a peg and I think that will hurt them here. They'll have to rely on reliability to do well this time around.

I'm surprised no Callaway Corvettes are on the entry and for the rest of GT3 is likely just as well, the Ford GT's will bring plenty of concern.

Yeah , but I expect 2 24 hour races in one year is a bit too much for the less well financed teams .

I am however , surprised that Felbermayr wont be there ..... and a bit more representation from the Ferrari teams would be nice ..... perhaps they dont hold much faith in their little car anymore !!!

P.S. ..... cant wait for the answer to that one

I do not think the cars are what the teams are having untrustworthy thoughts about!

I am surprised that AF Corse arent running two cars with their strongest lineups possible. Its the biggest race of the year for them apart from Le Mans obviously and with the outright win on offer for them and Porsche and BMW you would think that we would see Melo and Kaffer driving for them, they've got Waltrip in there (?), got nothing against him but Melo would be a better choice. The 'Vitaphone" car does have a strong lineup but Bartels hasnt had much if any race time in the 430 (that I know of). Although Im not surprised that they're only running two cars with whats happened to their cars of late.

And Badger, the 430 is still going strong this year, what happened on the weekend at Utah eh?

i am not very surprise about that,the only time the team race under"Felbermayr-Proton"banner in 24h Spa was in 2006,with 4 gentlemen drivers they finished 5th in GT2 class.

the last time Autorlando race in 24h Spa was in 2005.After they move from LMS to GT Open,the only time they race in 24h event was 2007 LM24,with their automatically entry.

i also doubt about Trackspeed's GT2 plan,their GT2 RSRs is already up for sell after they cancelled GT Open plan.Even bring one or two GT3 R remains question mark,they have already missed 2 latest FIA GT3 events.

anyway we have already get enough fast GT2 porsches just like lemans:3 fast european-team entry(Proton/IMSA/BMS for LM,IMSA/BMS/ProSpeed this time) and 2 gentlemen car(Proton/ProSpeed for LM,IMSA/ProSpeed this time).considering 7 of 8 work drivers already sign for 3 factory support cars,i will be surprise if there's a 6th GT3 RSR entry.

Subaru_WRX_STi · 14 Jul 2010, 16:37 (Ref:2726640)

is Jaime Melo doing the race ?

Also confirmation that Reiter and Argo will be sharing an entry of 2 Lamborghinis.

dj4monie · 15 Jul 2010, 19:31 (Ref:2727259)

I went to the Spa 24 Page and found a link to the GT1 TV Page, I hope that means the race will be streamed online!

Tim the Grey · 16 Jul 2010, 07:55 (Ref:2727431)

ALL GT1 races are. They are also, I believe, on Bloomberg, live?
I intend to be there in person. So save me a copy of the broadcast on DVD, please?!

LC2guy · 16 Jul 2010, 12:35 (Ref:2727529)

Is there English language radio coverage at the track ??? Hopefully RLM, or is that asking too much !!!!

courageous · 16 Jul 2010, 13:24 (Ref:2727560)

The circuit informed me that they have an English speaking commentator. Don't know if this means radio, pa, or hourly updates.

Dont forget the first GT1 race at Spa is on the Friday afternoon at 3pm

NightStalk3r · 16 Jul 2010, 22:19 (Ref:2727807)

Motors TV will have around 8 hours of Live Coverage of the 24hrs of Spa.

Not a surprise because Motor's has the GT3 Championship.

I doubt Bloomberg will have it because I'm positive Ratel is paying for time on the channel.

My hope it will be streamed like the N24 with some English Commentary.

The Badger · 16 Jul 2010, 23:34 (Ref:2727832)

Only 8 in GT2 class ..... brilliant !!!

The359 · 17 Jul 2010, 02:00 (Ref:2727855)

So I'm thinking we may see a GT3 car win this overall if something happens to the few good GT2 cars.

Shame the GT4 entry isn't larger.

911targa · 17 Jul 2010, 04:08 (Ref:2727866)

i want to see the StarCars GT4 Cayman.A nearly production Cayman S managed to finish top75 in Nur24 months ago

911targa · 17 Jul 2010, 04:15 (Ref:2727867)

Trackspeed's GT2 Porsche is already for sell,so i think the car should be run with another team,expect their entry like Ashburn-Masseen-Sugden-Miller
