FIA GT- DONNINGTON

[viperman]

anyone planning on going, im going cant wait, hopefully see christophe bouchout wrap up the title, he need to win though and jamie campbell water needs to finish in about 5th for bouchout to win at donnington, but even if he dosnet win at donnigton theres still one more round left, i wonder how the FIA GT lap times compare to the british GT lap times?

[mutley]

Should be about the same times. The FIA Lister is slightly quicker than the British series car

[viperman]

at silverstone at the FIA GT/ETCC/BRITISH GT they said: 'if the saleen S7 of erdos would have qualifyed for the FIA GT he would be on the third row' and that saleen of erdos was on pole.

[viper]

I'm hoping to make it with a few mates, any idea of the teams running ?

[mutley]

Lister, JMB Ferrari, Larbre Viper, Paul Belmondo- Viper, Cirtek - Porsche. EMKA Porsche, Eurotech, Veloqx

DSC has an entry list

[viperman]

should be around 7-9 vipers, 2 listers, 2 ferrari 550's e.t.c

neil, are you going in the viper? if you are i'll have to have a look at donnington to see if i see you and i'll pop over and say hi.

good luck to No.1 larbre competition for the title on sunday

[viper]

[GrahamG]

There are 9 Vipers on the entry list with the outside possibility of a tenth.

[viperman]

arent force one racing who used to use the blue/siler 550 maranello switching to a viper, the driver i think is someone like phillip alliot, or am i completely wrong!?

[GrahamG]

Nope - You're right - #5 is David Halliday / Phillippe Alliot

BTW - Joons is now on the entry list in the #15 Lister alongside BVR and David Warnock

WOW, probably the most vipers ive seen at any one time, except the silverstone round which was excellent, good luck No.1- hope they can nab the championship this weekend

[VENOM500]

VIPER WINS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!NUFF SAID ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GT CARS IN HISTORY DESPITE WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK OF THEM,THE PROOF IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE.I HOPE THEY GET THE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN,FINGERS CROSSED.

[viperman]

yeah, the lister is very quick and the ferrai is very quick, but face it the 550 of BMS scuderia italia has too many problems, its very un reliable and bloody stupid J-C-W who hit the ferrari and gave his championship a huge blow, the viper is without doubt the best allround GT car it has reliablity+speed. Donnington just made me realise just how much i really do love the viper

Not exactly the way JCW saw it!

he says one of the 550s punted him on the warm-up lap and then the other braked mid corner to alow it's team mate to pass the Lister

Not what ive heard, but maybe true, but youd still think proffensinal racing driver wouldnt do that kind of thing. The contact between JCW and the scuderia italia car was a bit silly, i never saw completley what happened as it wasnt shown on eursport very well, when i was at donnington i was on the 'spectator banking' by the 'esses/fogartys' so didnt see much, but it has serverely dented his hopes of the championship and it was on lap 3! in a 100+ lap race, i just thought it was a bit stupid. And no action was taken by the steward/marshalls.
