I suspect it's 50-50 whether Manor will be there

And if they are there, it's probably 75-25 chance they'll bail out from the championship after Le Mans... Ginetta seems too cheap and arrogant to assist them self, and it's harder to sell real estate for 6 hour races

There are unfortunate tough times ahead for Manor. With no real help from Ginetta, it looks like they are stuck in a mess that will be hard to get out of

I think it's a bit unfair to say 'no help from Ginetta'. Ginetta have already spent a lot of money designing and building the cars from scratch, having hired some high profile technical staff and consultants. I would imagine they also had to extend some goodwill to Manor to get the cars to Spa, ready to run. The cash flow problems are unlikely to have started at the start of free practice for the first race.

Having said that, as others have pointed out, if Ginetta want to sell any more cars and have any hope of recovering their outlay then they need to step in and fully fund at least one of these cars for the remainder of the season.

I think Ginetta are giving them the bare minimum, but Manor must be wondering if it is worth it. They are going nowhere at the moment. At the end of the day, it's up to Ginetta if they want to step up. They've already got enough single make formulas to support

OK guys, this is the entry list thread. There's a perfectly decent Ginetta thread available for extensive Ginetta/Manor discussion...... Al it does is duplicate stuff in both threads and I'd rather not have to move loads of posts. Ta.

we might be looking at other drop outs as well, Dragonspeed's Elton Julian wanting to know first why his car crashed under strange circumstances before entering again and also another one of the BR1 cars heavily damaged. Dallara may have trouble in supplying spare tubs.

Rusinov/G-Drive still negotiating with the ACO in a bid to run a full pro lineup in P2!

Honestly who does this guy think he is! Also I'm sure with some research and a driver ratings PDF they can find a gun silver driver. Whoever the next Laurent/Menezes is - and they'd probably be as quick as Imperatori.

So G-Drive wins the LM dress rehearsal in P2 (as a guest entry) but feels its line-up is too weak for the 24H? Makes no sense. Money has never been an issue for Rusinov so you have to wonder why he doesn't have enough confidence in Imperatori.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Imperatori because he's trying to get him into the lineup. Now Rusinov is gold he has to have a silver driver in the team.

I know in British GT certain pairings were deemed to be at an advantage so I think they slowed them via mandatory pitstop lengths. I really hope the ACO don't cave as it opens up a whole can of worms. And if they do it for Rusinov they have to do it for other teams.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's that exactly what Imperatori is, a Silver? So just keep him in the car, the driving pairing obviously worked at Spa, why fix what isn't broken? Or are things different in Russia???

Agreed Pato would be a steal for any P2 team (and he wouldn't look too bad in a P1 entry either I believe)!

He's a gold bro. Pizzitola was the silver at Spa so might be plan B again for Le Mans.

Imperatori, Pizzitola, whatever!

Point still stands. But then again, it's Rusinov. Too bad his shady rubles are too hard to resist for most.

Rusinov is an example of a driver that doesn't fit the driver ranking system. He is technically an Am in that he brings huge amount of funding and doesn't take a wage from the team. However, he's good enough to be Pro. So he gets a Gold rating.

Quite so, he does seem to believe there should be one rule for him and one for others, and that at no time should a place of sanctuary, peace and privacy, be out of bounds to him.

The sheer arrogance of the man!
