Not one Pro Porsche…. Strange!
There seems to be a lot of American disinterest in this series. Krohn Racing seems to be the only one.
I think Porsche are most interested in the ALMS. The ILMC is early days and nobody knows what’s going on media wise. All we know is Le Mans will still be on Eurosport and until you sort that out some entires will be sitting on the sidelines.
Only 3 full time LMP2 cars? Well the ALMS shouldn’t feel so bad, we only get 1/2 cars…
“There seems to be a lot of American disinterest in this series. Krohn Racing seems to be the only one.”
Heres another:
33 – Level 5 Motorsports – Lola Coupe HPD – Scott Tucker/Christophe Bouchut
for the manufacturers cup, can non full time entries still score points e.g., if muscle milk wins at sebring, do they still score points for aston martin, because if so, then that’s probably how porsche expects to win GTE pro
Frank. Level 5 Motorsports in LMP2 is an American team as well as Krohn Racing.
I believe that Level 5 Motorsports in LMP2 is an American team. Other than that, I definitely agree with you, Frank. I’d love to see the RSR Jaguar run again, but without running Le Mans it would really be pointless. Hoping for some good things from that team in ALMS this season though.
Level 5 Motorsports in LMP2 is an American Team so Krohn is not alone.
Busy year for Level 5 with them running both the full ALMS & Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, but the more teams who run both the better.
Only 20 cars with 3 categories??? I don’t count the six amateurs ( they are just filling up the grid ). If GT1 counts 18-20 GT1′s alone, the amount of ILMC-cars is very low ( knowing 11 cars having factory support ).
@HD The ILMC doesnt run races alone they will have various other teams competeting in the ALMS and LMS from the shared rounds.
Think of it as a race within a bigger race
^Aye. If there was no ALMS or LMS, then maybe the entires for the ILMC would be bigger. However teams can choose to run either the international or regional series, so that is likely one reason why for the smaller numbers as opposed to FIA GT1.
The round in China should be interesting though. Think the ACO will allow Formula Le Mans and FIA GT3 cars to run that round again?
@Oli,
@Anthony:
My opinion is that 2011 (and maybe also 2012) will be a “quiet” year for Porsche, as they are waiting for a general decision about how to split up the motorsports activities between the different brands of the VW holding. What I expect for 2014 is Audi in Formula One, Porsche in Le Mans (then both in LMP1 and GT), VW in the World Rallye Cup and Seat in the Touring Car Series.
@kw
I’m thinking that VW might end up going to the IndyCar series in the future. I know that VW is looking for a little more U.S. prominence and, although the IndyCar Series isn’t the best, it’s still better than no involvement at all. Another rumor that I pray has no merit is that VW could go to NASCAR. I think that, given the success of Skoda in IRC, it makes sense to have Skoda as the designated VW representative for rallying. Besides, Skoda already does have a history within WRC. Was there anything greater than the old Octavia rally cars? Doubtful.(By doubtful I actually mean everything. Having recently been to the Skoda museum in CZ I am baffled by how those monstrous cars rallied at all.)
@Tim
But so does Audi. If it wasn’t for them, wrc would still be rwd
I loved the Octavia! Toni Gardemeister could really wheel those things.
@Tim:
You’re right, Skoda with a WRC commitment would make much sense, and here in Germany there are also rumours about VW going to either NASCAR or IndyCar.
