JHS 1 Report post Posted July 20, 2009 Sucks that so few cars are GT1.......hopefully this "GT1 world series" that is being planned by Ratel will put the kick back into it for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Persevere 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 "mika", thanks for the info and the links. Information about upcoming European sports car racing other than the 24 hours of Le Mans is hard to come by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 It's easy! fiagt.com have the entry list & planetlemans.com update it every so often. I updated (while very bored) the entry list on wikipedia! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Persevere 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 "mika": Much appreciated. It is easy; I can just be very dense at times. Sadly, other than a small group of core followers, there is very limited interest in European sports car/sports prototype racing here in the U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted July 24, 2009 Quali was a let down, it was only dry for the 1st 15 mins so whoever set a lap time in those 15 mins would determine their position in tomorrow's race! Anyhoo, the 3 Vitaphone Maser's are in the top 3 but the Vette's have been pretty quick in the wet so should be an interesting race! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 What a great race so far! Basically it's Corvette-v-Maserati, Olly Gavin was leading but switched to Bert Longin & is now down in 4th but PK are leading! Very scary accident involving the Sangari Team Brazil/DKR Vette! Almost nothing left of the car! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 for a moment I thought Vettel left F1. Well it seems Godzille had left his teeth... The Nissan GTR was a fiasco. Hey you guys at Porsche: we need to improve fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 Well done to PK Carsport for the win, pity the SRT Vette had an oil leak so close to the end! Also fair play to Phoenix Racing who raced an Audi R8 LMS in the G2 guest class for finishing 3rd overall, just shows how very reliable Audi race cars are! Well done to AF Corse for winning in the GT2 class. Just found out that the Spa 24 Hours winners were exactly the same winners in the prevoius FIA GT round, #4 PK Vette & #50 AF Corse Ferrari!
