[FIA GT] Fia Gt 2004

[Russfeld]

Well the ELMS didnt include FIA GT as I recall (or did it?) so thats why I was concerned about the 04 season. Even if they arent going to combine FIA GT and ELMS grids, they should at least be on the same weekends.

Russfeld, I dont think that the ELMS refused entries from the FIA GT series if they were wishing to enter, I think its just that none of the teams from the FIA GT opted to compete in the ELMS as well.

RM40 - There were 5 rounds of the ELMS. Round 1 was at Donnington Park from April 13-14, Round 2 was at Jarama from the 19-20 May, Round 3 was at Estoril from 14-15 July, Round 4 was at the Salzburgring from 4-5 August, and finally Round 5 was at Valluenga from 1-2 September. Sorry I cant find any website links to verify this, its just whats on the ELMS offical poster I have at home.

Today I watched the FIA GT race at Estoril and the Dutch Eurosport commentator said that there will, besides 2 factory Listers and 2 of Creation, 2 extra Listers next year. These 2 cars are entered by a team which is currently involved in the N-GT class. Is this only speculation or is this true?

That team would be RWS, read something about that last week in Autosport.

from memory there was at least one date clash between the two series.....

I think LMES, if done properly, is a major step forward for european sportscar racing, it needs however to co-operate with the other players both in Europe and in the US if we aren't to get in an awful mess again.

That's my worry about this- LMES is a golden opportunity to really boost sportscar racing, but if the various interested parties don't co-operate fully, then it could also weaken all of the existing series without providing anything that's really any better

Let's hope they get this one right....
