LMES - Nürburgring race thread

Fab · 22 Aug 2005, 13:24 (Ref:1388349)

Infoscourse published the entry list... 49 opponents, and two Judd Dallaras !

The Nissan engine is out, and Martin didn't give news about his partnership with the japanese factory...

14 cars in P2, and still no pilot for the GNM Saleen. The Gruppe-M Porsche won't be there.

Fab · 22 Aug 2005, 13:25 (Ref:1388351)

Ahem... any possibility to have a dry race, please ?

Probably not , i am happy if we dont get snow interruptions

BSchneiderFan · 22 Aug 2005, 14:36 (Ref:1388410)

McNish/Ortelli for the ORECA Audi? I thought Nishie had said Silverstone was his last race in an R8?

Dauer 962 · 22 Aug 2005, 14:47 (Ref:1388419)

Never say never...

Silverstone tasted really good to McNish.

BSchneiderFan · 22 Aug 2005, 15:00 (Ref:1388436)

Great news, if true. I hope Dave Maraj gives him a run at PLM too. Was there ever a faster R8 pilot than McNish?

Not possible, PLM matches with DTM Istanbul race.

BSchneiderFan · 22 Aug 2005, 15:58 (Ref:1388496)

Damn. I guess Champion will just run two drivers per car at Petit Le Mans, then.

Yes, thus also no chance to Kristensen or Kaffer back in the R8 at PLM.

jhansen · 22 Aug 2005, 16:46 (Ref:1388538)

The Audi teams almost always run two drivers per car at Petit and the 1000K type events. So it would have been out of the norm either way.

Bernard Bram · 22 Aug 2005, 18:39 (Ref:1388607)

Hm, Prototypes at the Ring, that reminds me of:

**** poor weather as always

. I miss the car.

Great to hear that the Judd is out of the other Dallara... another fantastic entry and its great to have McNish back in the ORECA Audi. Hopefully we get some good dry running this time at least at the beginning of the race.

I'm pretty sure Istanbul's been bumped into November (so another cold wet race then...) precisely to avoid the clash with PLM / Laguna Seca.

Sorry mate - I think you're confusing the LMES Istanbul race (which has been moved) with the DTM race (which hasn't

Fair point, well made. Serves me right for scanning posts rather than reading them properly...

Can you please tell me which date the LMES in Istanbul has been moved too Graham ?

brielga · 24 Aug 2005, 14:26 (Ref:1390243)

After Spa (2x) this year I think I can breath under water already, Nuerburgring, here we come!!!! The 49 entries list looks pretty strong....

Graham Goodwin · 24 Aug 2005, 14:56 (Ref:1390258)

Istanbul LMES is Nov 4-6 - I thought you were one of our readers Badger? If so you may have missed the calendar function on dsc - if not no problem.

jhansen · 24 Aug 2005, 14:57 (Ref:1390259)

Were the Group C events affected by this much rain, or did they organise their schedule a bit better? Last year I believe three of the four LMES events had rain and this year has been no better.

BSchneiderFan · 24 Aug 2005, 15:07 (Ref:1390263)

Well, there were more Group C races in a season, so I suppose the odds were better on having some dry running.
