Team Nasamax

[Williamp]

Does anyone know if Team Nasamax are running next year?

And if so, will they be allowed to run with larger fuel tanks (as they wanted to, according to the Duke Le mans video).

I really hope so. I loved the idea, and I wish them well. It would be good to see an alternative fuel car become competitive.

[Try Hard]

I remeber seeing in Autosport, that they are running a champ car in the Euro BOSS series, don't know if that means they've left the reynard behind or what. I hope they don't, The team has a special place in my heart, after all they were the reason i had a grandstand seat for my first le mans... :P

Well Update, just looked at the Team Nasamax Website, looks like they are going to be around, as they are competing in the LMES 1000km.

I thought they did tremendously well at Le Mans. Yes, they had their problems, but they put in a tremendous amount of effort. (And their PR efforts during the Friday lunchtime walkabout left some of the supposedly bigger teams very much in the shade.....).

[cybersdorf]

They couldn't get the Reynard LMP ready (damaged tub after a, hm, slight explosion); but I gather they'll be at Le Mans in November. Not sure if they'll bring the Reynard or something else, though.

[paul-collins]

The Reynard had air circulation problems, right? Perhaps they should look at another combination. If they're stuck on a manufacturer that has Champcar tie-ins, I'm sure they could work out something with Lola.

I agree that Nasamax has the best PR in the paddock at Le Mans. And I like the idea of a biomass fueled car, although I'll be more comfortable with the idea when they aren't using food grade biomass to make their fuel. I did a piece on them at this year's Le Mans, and they provided me with a lot of good material for background. Plus a really neat carrier bag!

[billnchristy]

I dont know about their PR, but the idea is awesome. The fact that they can make a car run on bio-fuel and still make nearly as much power as the other guys is cool!!

Here's to you and the future of Ethanol as a fuel!!

[PascaLM]

Yes ! And using Ethanol from biomass in sportcars races is a initiative which could be encouraged with some rules adjustements like less weight of larger restrictors.

[gttouring]

ethanol over Hydrogen fuel cell ozone degrading 'alternate fuel vehicles' any day I hop e NASAMAX can bring this idea forward to many others,- if Champcars work so well with the stuff why not anyone else? (well they use methanol not ethanol I know, but it is the alternate biofuel that is so exciting...)
