If any of you are there please say Hello.
Same for 2019 VLN/N24.
More info about what we’re up to soon.

You're assuming that the new regs will allow them to do so. Tub rules may make adapting existing cars impossible.


We won't know until they're released, obviously, but given the route they seem to be going I'd call it "optimistic" to assume that adapting a current chassis might be possible.

If that's the case, then it shouldn't be impossible for them in terms of costs since they've saved money using the car they've had for nearly a decade

Do you have any plans to expand the Boots program to include the Dakar? Seems that world domination is next on the list

My thoughts as well. If they were broke, there'd be no entry from them at all. But they are here, pay for their entry, drivers, engine, design their own car etc. None of that says to me that they are struggling for cash. That's not to say they're well off either.

This is what I was getting at with my joke. Obviously they have money, but they're currently the most prevalent example of only having just enough to keep going.

Agreed....But I'm still gonna poke fun at them when the opportunity presents itself.

Hey, Intersport got no protection and they were from my home state. And got better results. And produced my absolute all-time favorite car/livery combination. If they weren't off-limits, no way am I letting a team like ByKolles off the hook!

It's your opinion and your right, I suppose, but it serves no purpose than to give you amusement..... No-one is off limits but just saying 'Yah boo' to one team because you're favourite came in for some criticism seems pretty pointless....

I am British so we will always support the underdog that turns up every race and tries, rather than the big budget teams that think that because they spend the most they have a right to win

Six years ago they got a job lot of fluorescent yellow paint which fell off the back of a lorry. Saved them a fortune since.

Amazing. Nothing wrong with the odd joke, as certainly I am up for with ByKolles. However your particular schadenfreude is bizarre. I think we might be getting to the nub of the issue.



Whatever, I’m totally up for them pulling off a good result. They’ve stuck with it for years. Fair play to them.

100% agree. Keep in mind that just because I joke about something doesn't mean I hate it.

I have just seen this on Twitter from Mr Hindhaugh

"'Hearing - from a number of sources - that there's been a seismic shift in LMP1 2020 regs discussed at Wednesday meeting - considering de-restricting GTE-Pro cars to run for overall wins - not met with unanimous support from current GTE OEMs - may force return to 'Prototype' style car time short for inclusion in Dec FiA WMSC''

Very interesting....

Sounds to me like the 2020 'hypercar' regs are in complete disarray, otherwise why would this (seemingly desperate) new proposal have even been made?

I think rather than believing that tweet it's better to be a little more nuanced and remember the bitterness of the person posting it...
