Interesting entry too.. ECO Racing Radical R10 AER/ECO

It looks like this is what has grown out of the old Taurus Sports program that Adam Sharpe Motorsports bought up in 06 (groupBIO). D-1 oils and Toivonen were connected with the groupBIO team and that car was supposed to show at Sebring in 06. I wonder if Ian Dawson is still involved and if this is the old Cat/Perkins (VW) diesel or if they have upgraded. That old engine was not very well concieved!!

From what I have searched, it is the VW Touareg V10 TDI.

Hopefully the Barazi Epsilon Zytec will be running the Gulf livery at Sebring like they did last year at Le Mans. I know Aston is running it this year at Le Mans.

I thought there was at least one Farnbacher entry in a Porsche?

Radical R10...anyone know of any pictures?

Pretty diverse GT2 field...not looking for much out of the Ford though...It will probably get smoked by the Viper. Only one Panoz...booooo!!

Sorry. If we see Gulf livery on anything other than the AMR DBR9's at Le Mans it will be on the Trading Performance Zytek 07S owned by Karim Ojjeh as he carries the sponsorship of Gulf Oil Europe and is the reason it was on the Barazi car last year.

No Transport either. I guess the other D-K Ford GT-Rs are not ready.

I think it's a typo and the car is probably actually the SR10. I can't imagine Audi not bitching up a storm about another LMP1 named R10, that is unless Audi is involved somehow.

Agreed, but what's an SR10? I guess we'll find out shortly.

I also noticed that Autocon is listed with a CA07. It was my understanding that they were getting their new car at Le Mans...could this explain the lack of the factory car?

SR10 would be the LMP1 version of the SR9. Maybe I'm wrong, but most, if not all of Radical's cars are labeled as SR#, so I'd expect this to be no different.

If I remember correctly, Creation decided to stay in Europe to test.

SR10 is a P-1 crash tested SR-9 with all the other bits and pieces needed to make it a P-1 and it is not a coupe.

As to Autocon and Creation it was never said that the new car would be debuted at Le Mans but that it would be by Le Mans. I think they planned on opening the season with Autocon in a CA07. It seems they are behind and probably thought it best to get Autocon in the car and established than to worry about a "works" entry even before the Paul Ricard test. I wonder if Creation didn't share the same carbon fibre contractor with Embassy as that would somewhat explain the delay in having cars ready (that contractor closed its doors shortly after Christmas).
