Wow, an new car model... a Porsche Ferrari being raced by Tafel.

I wonder what that is going to look like.

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

I'd rather you didn't resist! It is there for critiquing.

Horndawg,

How speculative is the Creation and Lista stuff??...I haven't heard anything about them being in the US. Your ears are definitely closer to the rails than mine.

Those are firm, per se.

Creation;
Quote:
“We’ll have one car at Paul Ricard in early March, while the other one will race at Sebring. Then we’ll have two cars in the Le Mans Series: we’re very close to signing up all the drivers. Hopefully we’ll have two cars at Le Mans, and as usual, we’ll finish the season at Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca.”
from a week ago.

Lista;
Quote:
The mission will come in the past for 2008 planned program consisting of 12h Sebring and Le Mans Series, but definitely only one LMP2.

Has there been anything announced about the Farnbacher Loles program? I thought that was just speculation at this point as well...

No it is not speculation that Farnbacher Loles will be in the ALMS in 08! The only unknown stated is what they will be driving ( which was posted in the 08 rumors thread).

Quote:
Farnbacher Loles has thus far only dabbled in the ALMS but Loles said that they will commit to a two and possibly three-car effort for the full 2008 season. “The sponsorship is in place and we will run two professional drivers in one car with one professional and one top rank amateur in the other. The possible third car will also be a pro-gentleman setup.” The question remains whether they will go with Porsches or Ferraris. “Our hearts and expertise are with Porsche, and we have presented them with a detailed proposal. If they come to the table we’ll go with the RSR, but the reality is that the Ferrari has been a better product of late in the ALMS and we want to win.”

I want to know if we'll get both Creations for the last two races of the year. Since I don't think there are any LMS races currently scheduled near them.

I would imagine that decision is Mr. Suzuki's (AIM) to make, and we will not know until later in the season. Although Laguna would be a good place to showcase the car on the Pacific Rim before it goes to the possible LMS Shanghai race in Nov. (?).
