If it is true it is a real problem wanted to see practice and support races on saturday and actual race, now stuck with missing stuff and nothing happening on sunday except drive back to port for 23.15 ferry.

If you can come up with nothing else, the German Porsche Sports-Cup will race at the Nürburgring-GP-track that Sunday - entry is free, it's not really that far from Spa and you could also turn some laps on the Nordschleife.

We can't complain about lack of media coverage then complain again when a step is taken to avoid an F1 conflict to hopefully gain more TV and online coverage. If it was me I'd run all races on Saturday and run into the dusk.

Obviously it's an inconvinience for those who've already booked.

Up to now we have just about ten weeks to the race, they should shake their legs and finally make an offical announcement...

Tim the Grey · 23 Feb 2011, 11:20 (Ref:2835546)

Corrected on LMS web site, and Spa circuit sites, but no offical comment on why???
Poor, very poor.

We all know why, as revealed by ES earlier. It doesn't make sense thou, are they fearing that Eurosport's 20-minute highlight broadcast won't get enough viewers? Hopefully there isn't any further rescheduling for similar reasons (Silverstone and Estoril are on the same clash course).

Tim the Grey · 23 Feb 2011, 16:35 (Ref:2835732)

Hence wondering WHY... It may happen again, or it may be unrelated to Bernie's Flying Circus...

Not sure that my rover estate fully loaded with gear and people will be suitable for a few laps of the ring but friend taking his s2000 will probably give it a go.

I might see you there on Sunday so!
I better take out the 'good' insurance on my rental car....

Throw the people and the gear out at the Brünnchen or Pflanzgarten parking lot...

That is interesting that the ILMC entries are not on there. Wonder why?

That's only the list of the full-season entrants, the real entry list will be coming out later (probably some time after Ricard), and it will probably be 55+ cars if all predictions are to be believed.

Marcel ten Caat · 24 Mar 2011, 18:20 (Ref:2852629)

Because that is just the full season LMS entry list and not the Spa 1000 KM entrylist.

Deadline for entries is 6th of April 2011 at midnight

MarkLMS · 8 Apr 2011, 16:02 (Ref:2860574)

here is the official time table of the weekend: http://www.lemans-series.com/fr/s52_....php?circuit=4
i hope the entry list will come soon

courageous · 8 Apr 2011, 18:00 (Ref:2860608)

Don't forget any ILMC entries will need to show up here or run the risk of being slung out of Le Mans

Marcel ten Caat · 8 Apr 2011, 20:03 (Ref:2860654)

Current number of entries at 62 cars.

Danny_GT2 · 9 Apr 2011, 07:38 (Ref:2860777)

62 cars!!! Don't think I've seen that many in sports car racing, mind you, only started watching it proper in 2008 :P ! Lucky that Spa is a big enough track!

911targa · 9 Apr 2011, 09:24 (Ref:2860808)

i doubt some LM24-only entry wont show up there,for there's a LM24 test day in just 2 weeks

Says it here in the info section:

http://www.lemans.org/en/races/inter...ope-_3334.html

I take it it's all 55 Le Mans entries plus the FLM grid.

They´ve just put the ILMC and LMS grid numbers together (26 + 36). Nothing definite just yet.

Will Kronos/VDS be on it? And perhaps Highcroft???

Marcel ten Caat · 11 Apr 2011, 13:57 (Ref:2861901)

There can't be much of a difference between the ILMC + LMS grid as the maximum number of cars to race at Spa is 64.

Organisation preview mentions Acura in LMP1 btw
