It's going to be awesome next month.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I was expecting to Ordonez in the line-up, but I suppose they must be saving him for the Bathurst 1000.

 

[05XR8]

I think we'll see Davison, Holdsworth and Maro Engel and MAYBE Jack Lebroq in the #63 SLS. Or Engel with Schnieder. Fingers crossed for Mika Hakkinen to get the call. I think he would want to race at The Mountain.

Ordonez will have to be in the 1000 👍

Rosse Verde to run a Ferrari 458 Italia in the British GT for Hector Lester and...rather emotionally...Benny Simonsen. Brother Allan was his team-mate for the last 7 years. At Christian in Motorsport from 2007 to 2008 and at Rosso from 2009 to 2013. Brilliant idea and a fitting tribute to Allan. Benny last drove iirc in the WEC in a Porsche 997 for JWA-Avila in 2012.

Sorry if this is old news but, Alessandro Zanardi! He will drive a BMW Z4 GT3 for ROAL Motorsport in the Blancpain GT Sprint Series!

Fantastic to see him on the grid. I shall definitely try and get to the Silverstone Brands Hatch round in May now.

Zanardi deserves to be a super hero.

 

[Clark]

He already is one.

Zanardi deserves to be a super hero.

Zanardi is a superhero

 

[Tired Tyres]

Zanardi eats Super Hero's for breakfast and then comes back for seconds.

Max Buhk will drive for HTP in the Blancpain Sprint Series

In the Endurance Series AF Corsa has announced a 3 car team. Two for the Pro-Am and one for the Gentleman's Trophy. The two in the Pro-Am will be numbered 49# Pro-Am for Howard Blank, Yannick Mallegol and Jean Marc Bachlier and the second car numbered 51# for Felipe Barrerios, Peter Mann and Francisco Guedes.

Lago Racing will enter Roger Lago, David Russell, Steven Richards and Steven Owen in the Total 24hrs of Spa with a Gallardo. Reiter Engineering will be assisting them.

 

[Mac K]

This seems apporipriate with the Bathrust 12 Hour being next week, an absoultely epic lap by the great (RIP) Allan Simonsen.





and highlights from last year

If any of the other drivers don't know who he is they will find out soon. If he finds himself within half a second of the car in front going into a corner that car will exit the corner either backwards or upside down, however if a car behind was to hit his car he will moan about it to anybody who listens for the following 12 months.

The all-German crew will this year race in a purple and black livery, a variation of which was seen last year on the Australian driven car.Local trio Will Davison, Jack Le Brocq and Greg Crick will compete in green; a choice said to be inspired by Australia’s green and gold international sporting colours.
Although devoid of major commercial sponsors, signage includes that of MotorActive – the distributor of event sponsor Liqui-Moly – and Mercedes-Benz truck brand Actros.Erebus Academy stickers also adorn the Australian car in reference to 21-year-old Le Brocq.

 

[gnorman]

Just watched the highlights of last year, really looking forward to 2014 race now. its going to be a long week, and a long Saturday night with the time difference

 

[Diehardracer]

Stef Dussledorp leaves Hexis to join Max Buhk at HTP Motorsport.

Also no fewer than 8 WRT's will be competing over the Blancpain Series. A quarter in the Sprint Series and a trio in the Endurance Series with a 4th at Spa. Much like Audi Joest in the WEC I see it being much the same as past years with the likes of Laurens Vanthoor, Frank Stipler and Stephane Ortelli in the team.

Being honest, i'm sick of your anti-Honda crap. GT racing can also be as frantic as BTCC on occasions.

I'm not anti-Honda, just anti-Honda BTCC drivers (well some of them) and for good reason, BTCC has been turned into bumper cars thanks to some of their moves which are never punished. GT racing is frantic but the drivers mostly treat their competitors with respect, something Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal simply don't do.
