USCC 2014 Entry List & Schedule ONLY

[EricS]

Hindy has mentioned this on Radio Le Mans for a while now. The new 991 needs more development before being handed off to the privateers.

[jeast]

SPEED.com has learned that Algarve Pro Racing, a Portugal-based squad run by former Jordan F1 testing manager and A1GP Team Ireland chief mechanic Stewart Cox, is finalizing plans to take its Oreca FLM09 Stateside, in what could potentially turn into a full-season effort.

interesting wish it was something other than lmpc but still good news I think.

Interesting that the Porsche 991 RSR GTE won't be a customer car at large. Disappointing change in direction.

Shame really, there is going to be a fight over who gets the new car then one would assume. Though Falken are probably the best placed team to get the car unless Flying Lizards step back up.
It did sound however that Falken's participation next year could hinge on them getting this new car.

On the plus side.... A works Manthey Porsche squad looks like it could still be on the cards.

(probably a lot of reading between the lines from me there, so take it with a pinch of salt)

Yes, the fin and fender holes are to prevent that.

That is what I was thinking as well. The current (ALMS) car isn't all that competitive, and having it hang around for an additional year won't help that. Especially with Corvette bringing in a new car and the z4 and vipers with an additional year of development.

Maybe one of the Porsche teams will switch. ;-)

Seems right up Will Turner's alley...

Pretty much...

USCR is currently planning on holding 11 rounds next year, with IndyCar dates at Long Beach, Detroit and Baltimore (provided a contract extension is signed)

Rumors from Indycar is the Detroit Race will be Labor Day Weekend.

[MoMedic9019]

Baltimore race is supposedly going to be held at a different location in the city. Perhaps the city officials don't want to repave the inner harbor??

I honestly can't think of anywhere inside of Baltimore where there is room to fit that kind of event. And the roads (mostly) just get worse...

Agree, I've heard this from multiple people...

About the only other possibility would be the seaport near Broening Hwy

I'd prefer to ditch that to have the Cleveland Airport circuit back.

Posts on relative costs of DP and LMP2 moved to the USCR thread.

This is about specific entries and schedule. For people interested in talking about the series not fighting about it. Discussing relative merits of different aspects of the series is fine, but spreading, like a cancer, into all other threads on the subject is not on. Think of others, if you can.

[TheMightyM]

John Dagys reports that a number of European P2 teams, including OAK and Greaves are seriously considering competing in the USCR at Daytona and/or Sebring. Critical will be the exact regulations for DPs:

“It’s the complete regulations we need, not just the regulations just for P2,” OAK Racing team manager Sebastien Philippe told Sportscar365. “We need to know what’s going on with the Daytona Prototype cars and what changes they will make on those cars. Because we will compete against them, so we need to know before making any decisions.”

Where are you guys hearing this? I know someone that works for the city and he said the only thing thats being discussed is the date to work around the football game next Labor Day. He said there hasn't been any talk in his office about a different track.

I hope he's not keeping this little nugget from me.

Look what happens when at least one class has solid rules!

Does Tucker still have his DP's? If so I can see him considering the same thing, possibly driving both in the same race.

Tucker still has both of his old DP's. There sitting on the shelf...literally.

Read it again.

Dalla Lana remains committed to the USCR GT Daytona class (despite some rules uncertainties) as well as the 2014 USCR NAEC schedule, despite the fact that it has not been released yet.

What point are you making exactly? David quoted an article saying Dalla Lana will race a GTE car in the endurance rounds and you say the same thing? Yes he continues to run in gtd, but expands to GTE because he knows the rules.

That's not why he's expanding. He already owns the GTE Aston.

My point? If drivers, owners and stakeholders like Dalla Lana clearly have faith in USCR, why can't we?

Hopefully that gets Imsa bop'ing not aco's crap,if not I'll be better off with out them.

[Adam43]

On topic please. It all to easy to take it to the usual pointed remarks about the series. I know there is overlap, but it was hoped people would try for the sake of others who are interested in just collating information about the entries and schedule. There is already a place to discuss the other stuff. It is only a couple of clicks away to be considerate to other users.
