The next ILMC race starts next month at Imola right?

3rd of July. 👍

Anyone else think that they need to limit the number of cars one manufacturer is allowed to enter in the 24 hours? I think this Peugeot vs Audi thing is all well and good, but having 3+ cars entered to be "the one" is a bit much. I think the max should be two cars...

 

[Akmuq]

Oak racing entered 4! It didn't go to well though....

 

[lmanion]

They do only enter 2 cars
Audi sport Team Joest I believe were running 2 of the Audis and Audi Sport North America ran the other.
I think the Peugeot cars were 2 for Peugeot Sport Total and one for Team Peugeot Total and Oreca ran last years 908 as well

Looks like we might have Mazda, Toyota and maybe even Nissan works teams within the next two years! Dempsey Racing are running a well supported Mazda diesel next year. Might be coming into a golden age of sports car racing, I wonder how long other manufacterers can sit back and watch....Ferrari im looking at you!

 

[MoggStyle]

The DeltaWing will race at the 2012 LeMans event from the #56 pit box.

Dan Gurney's All-American Racers are combining with Panoz and Highcroft Racing to build and race the high-efficiency concept car at la Sarthe.

Hey guys anyone know when Imola qualifying starts? I have 7 hours or so from now. Sound right?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Yes approximately.

3rd practice is live now on Radio Le Mans.

[Tower Turn 13]

Qualifying starting now? I have Radio Le Mans on and it's 7:54am here (1:54 in Italy I believe). They're just chatting tho so I don't know.

NM it's starting! I think...

If someone has video please link~

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Makowieki in Luxury Racing Ferari 59 takes an early lead with 1:45, 58 is second with about .8 trailing.

Anyone else listening this or what? lol

EDIT: Jorg Muller takes the lead for BMW with a 1:44xxx

 

[MitchZ06]

[Tower Turn 13]

I am

Awesome! It's like 8am here so a bit of a sacrifice on a Saturday. But I love it 👍

I hate their live timing. Can't separate the classes...

 

[MitchZ06]

Pretty peeved there isn't a video stream for qualifications because I can hear onboards...

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Looks like BMW, BMW, AF Corse Ferrari 1-2-3.

 

[MitchZ06]

AF Corse*

It's weird hearing Patrick Long being on pole for the Am class....

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Audi beating prototype lap records. Nice.

Thanks for the link!

Wow interesting race. Congrats to Pug for a well-won battle and to Audi for staying strong and racing hard, all the other drivers especially AF Corse for their GT win. Sorry for BMW's bad luck!

Quite fun and ALMS next weekend

 

[Tired Tyres]

It was on the eurosport player as well without commercial interruption except the first hour which was on Eurosport 1 and there was no commentary on the player version either so the engine sounds were amazing.

It was pure audio car porn.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Unfortunately tho Eurosport doesn't seem to work even online in America (or at least my neck of the woods). Audi TV had radio le mans playing the whole time which was awesome as well!

 

[4DSC]

Does anyone know if they use any kind of traction control systems in these races? Thanks.

 

[Clark]

Yup all the classes use TC.
