500 KM Estoril

a_r_c_a · 12 Nov 2002, 14:01 (Ref:427052)

According www.sportmotores.com Publiracing was rumoured to run two MG ZS BTCC spec. Now, I am looking to the entry list and I can't see this two cars. Where are ZS cars? I am keeping the faith.

The two MG BTCC cars were not confirmed. I guess you have to wait for the end of the (to)day. You can submit an entry until the 22 pm so "Keep the faith".

No! We were talking about Estoril 500KM, an endurance race.

Sim_Da_BTCC_Man · 12 Nov 2002, 20:18 (Ref:427254)

I don't think it will happen as the cars are in WSR's factory being developed for next year I think?

SFonseca · 13 Nov 2002, 11:57 (Ref:427694)

and I guess you are right Sim_Da_BTCC_Man!!

Does anyone know if this race will get coverage either live or delayed? Im hoping that Sky sports' "World Motor Sports" may give it a 1hr slot.

Very nice Joke Saleen!!

I would love to see it in a portuguese channel, but it's impossible!!!!!

SALEEN S7R · 18 Nov 2002, 08:41 (Ref:431107)

Im not joking. We do get delayed coverage of races such as the Nurburgring 24hrs from the Belcar championship so I dont see any reason why we wont get coverage of this race. Do u get Sky Segrio?

E46 · 18 Nov 2002, 09:52 (Ref:431133)

But Belcar and 24 hours of Nurburgring are races many more big!!

That is the reason because neither in Portugal can see the race.

You can seen 5ooKm result in www.sportmotores.com

SFonseca · 18 Nov 2002, 11:51 (Ref:431211)

You are right E46! Neither in Portugal you can see the race. Maybe If we have some luck I could see some highlights.

Results:
1ºA.Coimbra/P.Estrela/P.Vilar/T.Burgette - Renault Clio RS 2.0 - 120laps 4h25m56s
2ºL.Cristóvão/Armando Paes/R.Gallego - Renault Clio RS 2.0
3ºP.Cardoso/M.Cristóvão/F.Carvalho - Renault Clio RS 2.0
4ºAlcides Petiz/Jorge Petiz/Pedro Silva - BMW 320d
5ºManuel P.Fernandes/Manuel Fernandes/Lu�*s Martins - BMW 320d

SALEEN S7R · 18 Nov 2002, 14:08 (Ref:431339)

Oh right ok, well I dont know about anyone else but personally Id rather see the race than the Nurburgring 24hrs. The nurburgring is a great venue but in belcar u know whos going to win before the start, and as always its the Viper of Kumpen, barring any big problems.

a_r_c_a · 20 Nov 2002, 15:14 (Ref:433219)

Saleen S7R, Portugal is the country of all motorsports. The first MG was 8th.

SALEEN S7R · 20 Nov 2002, 16:02 (Ref:433265)

Okay if u say so.

SFonseca · 20 Nov 2002, 16:09 (Ref:433270)

Sorry a_r_c_a but I live in Portugal as you and I can't agree with you.

E46 · 20 Nov 2002, 18:13 (Ref:433387)

The skill of Portugal in Motorsport is seemed to Spain and trust me, Spain isn´t the country of Motorsports.

SFonseca · 20 Nov 2002, 18:28 (Ref:433400)

You are wrong E46, Portuguese motorsport is worst than Spanish motorsport...

NME · 20 Nov 2002, 23:43 (Ref:433623)

Buenas noches E46 ... it looks like you have not attended any of the Spanish championships this year !?

In Europe nowadays i guess no one can rival with Spain in terms of motorsport as a show.
Both GT/F3 and TWS packages have attracted HUGE crowds for their races.

Considering that with GT Sport we have GT cars with some Saleen, Viper and Maranello (in last round), in F3 some interesting battles and good talented kids plus SuperCopa SEAT's very very good races.
In TWS you have the kindergarden series of Formula Junior, the new-for-2003 Formula Nissan 2000 and the State-of-the-art Super Nissan V6 with the best concentration of drivers of all the promotional formulas in Europe.

Hey E46 ... what do you want more ????

Spain now is the place to be ... in motorsports !

a_r_c_a · 22 Nov 2002, 13:44 (Ref:434660)

Both GT/F3 and TWS packages are international series. Please don't look to me...

500KM Estoril it's a good example of Portuguese breath motorsport.
