Stop the press ! Oreca to claim a victory with Audi !

Stop the press ! The french radio France-Info confirmed last hour (Hugues de Chaunac interview) that Oreca will claim a victory at LM in 2005 with Audi France partnership !

Three french pilots are expected (could mean that it will be only one car).

I'll merged with the main Audi thread at noon, when you've read this.

eddsc should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Are you saying that it's official (Oreca-Audi France), or that Oreca's de Chaunac thinks the victory is certain already? Perhaps a slight problem in translation here.

Read on Ouest France & Maine Libre (the two local newspapers) and saw the photo of De Chaunac shaking hands with Dr Ullrich last week at Essen Press Conference.

IT'S OFFICIAL !!!!!


And Playstation gonna be the main sponsor !!! (bad news for Pescarolo...)

Good news for Oreca, will be intresting to see what they can do with the cars. Can anyone challenge Audis dominance next year? Id put my money on the Zytek's having a good crack. 2005 is gonna be good.

Good news. Playstation sponsoring? probably with Gran turismo 4. I was so disappointed about the game being delayed that they are making it up to me this way.

My skill level in translation

Hugues de Chaunac seems to say that the partnership is now official between Oreca and Audi France, and that they're on their way to the victory...

More likely blue given the Audi France connection, French drivers and PlayStation backing. I would guess a similar colour scheme to the Oreca Dallaras of 2002 and the Viper they ran that year. Are there any specific Oreca colours as such? Given that the Vipers ran in white (with red and blue) in 1997-1999, red in 2000 and the Oreca-Dallaras in blue.

I'd bet for a blue car too (2002's Dallaras like)...

A thought occurs to me. If the ORECA car is to be crewed by three French drivers, where will Frank Biela end up? The ALMS?
