Great news.

Satorian · 14 Jan 2009, 20:56 (Ref:2371594)

That is fantastic news! A Gallardo GT2 that performs well and would be a viable choice in any of the other GT racing series would be just awesome!

AX lover · 14 Jan 2009, 21:34 (Ref:2371633)

Who developed the Gallardo GT2? Reiter? Or another company?

911 GT1 · 14 Jan 2009, 21:42 (Ref:2371643)

Reiter Engineering is developing and building the GT2 cars.

Bullett · 15 Jan 2009, 10:06 (Ref:2371871)

Has the GT2 been released? Pics?

911 GT1 · 15 Jan 2009, 20:07 (Ref:2372254)

They are still working on the first chassis. No test until now.

AX lover · 16 Jan 2009, 23:10 (Ref:2373072)

Looking forward to it! So I guess all their resources will go to the new Gallardo GT2 this season?

911 GT1 · 17 Jan 2009, 18:24 (Ref:2373434)

Most of it. They also do not build any new GT3 machines...

rich07 · 19 Jan 2009, 01:57 (Ref:2374168)

Really?? Have they not built any GT3 racers based on the newer LP-560-4 (sp) Gallardo?

911 GT1 · 19 Jan 2009, 20:50 (Ref:2374815)

There will be noch GT3 version of the LP560 Gallardo. Not this year.

Subaru_WRX_STi · 25 Jan 2009, 09:37 (Ref:2378604)

2 Gallardos for GT Open, but what about FIA GT ? I hope we could see at least one of them, enough from the Ferrari Challenge vs. ProSpeed !

AX lover · 27 Jan 2009, 12:59 (Ref:2380520)

Oh happy days! The Murcielago R-GT is confirmed for the whole LMS season with Rusinov/Kox

And as a bonus Reiter will also field the Gallardo LP560 in GT2

Great news (especially the GT2)

rich07 · 28 Jan 2009, 02:35 (Ref:2381112)

Awesome news!! Didnt expect the Murcielago to make an appearance in GT1. Could they get a win this year in the very small GT1 class?? Lets hope so.

Subaru_WRX_STi · 28 Jan 2009, 04:37 (Ref:2381152)

nice to see Lambo back, if Reiter isn't ablae to win this year, better for him shutting down

cmk · 28 Jan 2009, 04:50 (Ref:2381158)

If Reiter doesn't take the series this year against that motley crue, I'll be stunned.

I won't. The JMW ferrari has a very strong line-up with Bruni and Bell, and that line-up proved very successful at Virgo last year

I think he was referring to the GT1 Lamborghini...

Jamesy-18 · 28 Jan 2009, 16:23 (Ref:2381499)

Ahh i see, sorry. It's just the GT2 car is under the Reiter engineering banner with the GT1 car being IPB Spartak

cmk · 28 Jan 2009, 16:30 (Ref:2381506)

Point of confusion is fair. It is widely known that IPB Spartak is just a sponsor banner for the Reiter operation, but that is indeed the car I was referring to.

There is absolutely no way that the Reiter GT2 car is a shoe-in for anything. A new car, with two reasonably talented young gentlemen is no match for the top GT2 entries from IMSA, F-P, JMW and hopefully Farnbacher (are all their Ferraris on Hankook, or just 1?). If the GT2 Lambo manages to be reliable over 6 hours, it will probably be mid-pack.

Regarding the tyres on the Farnbacher cars, the entry list states #89 with Hankooks, #90 with Dunlops, and #91 with Michelins...

That should keep the pit crews on their toes...

Maybe at Virgo they were , But whats the form on JMW ? What and who are they ? What previous championships have they been in before ?

According to DSC, a new team resulting from a parting of the ways between the car owner Jim McWhirter and Virgo- It's the same car as last year, (described as 'fully updated'), same Dunlop tyre deal, the same race engineer, and some key members of the crew.
