Hi,


It's time to create the official thread of the 2008 LMS spanish first round running next week :D

Splendid duels awaited in all class(factory LMP1, privateers LMP1, LMP2, GT1/2) :bounce:

Official entrylist

It'll be the occasion to see many new cars in action(Oreca-Courage, Lola-Aston, Epsilon Euksadi, Porsche RS, WR-Zytek,...) facing the "veteran" ones :D

Splendid the LMP1 Lola-Aston of Charouz team in its blue/white livery !!!! :up:

Qualifying practice is just over !!! :bounce:

The Peugeot 908 No8 driven by Stéphane Sarrazin grab the best time toward the end of the 20mn session, whereas Marc Gené at home on the 908 No7 was second fastest... ;)

Best Audi R10 was the No1 driven by Alan McNish, 3rd fastest , just in front of the Charouz Lola Aston-Martin and the best LMP2 Porsche(driven by Jos Verstappen) :D :D

Then comes the other Audi R10(driven by Alex Prémat)in front of the Oreca of Olivier Panis... ;)

Really nice to see the Charouz Lola/Aston up there. Can't wait for the race tommorow!

[eucasafari]

is there a way to watch this live in the US, or should I try and hold out for a torrent/video of the race and try to watch it before reading up on it later?

[Scuderia ferrari]

There will be live timings on several websites, but i don't know for you, as i don't live in the USA.

[Tom206wrc]

No comment about the race ??? :confused:


It didn't interest anybody on this forum despite the big action ??? :mark:

[harvick#1]

the ALMS race was at the same time, I was trying to keep up with both

[Tom206wrc]

the ALMS race was at the same time...


And also the GP of Barhein :p :
And we all know how more popular F1 is... :mark:

[Jamie Brown]

i saw some of the race and from what i saw it was very good, i cant wait till they come to silverstone!

[Funks]

Saw what I could of it. It was a hard day keeping up with everything with all that was mentioned earlier and WSB too!

Mightily pleased with the new Lola Aston, that was a fabulous start.

Yet again, a series where the GT1 class is not worth mentioning. FIA GT is clearly the preferred place to be for that this year.

Really nice picture of Marc Gené's jump !!! :eek:
