nope, read the entry list, krohn car is under Krohn racing, but risi has 2 cars, one 458 gtc and one 430, now is that gonna be an amature type or all pro line up, because it would make sense to us the older car as backup if the untested 458 doesent come trough

AndrewF31 · 1 Feb 2011, 22:34 (Ref:2824234)

The LMS list for GT Pro is going to be amazing. I will have to head over to Estoril (20 minutes from here) to watch those babies race.
I still hope the Larbre Corvette will enter full season but we shall see if they have the cash for it.

Have we actually seen a Ferrari go up in flames? Recently I remember the Porsche last season and the GT1 vettes at Silverstone having a barbecue.

Maybe its Risi hedging their bets , thats what I would do . Is it a full season entry or just for the big events ?

Gotta agree, seems the most sensible explanation. Cant see Risi running a amateur car (hope not), the 458's the new car which hasnt had any race mileage so maybe the ole 430's there for backup. Im wondering-who drives which?

pplater · 3 Feb 2011, 05:29 (Ref:2824886)

I'll just leave this here. Looks sooooo much better than the 911, though GT3s sound better on track.

from the test day list its Melo, Vilander in the 458, and if they go pro in the second car I guess Bruni with either Fisi or Salo

Will take this over the 458 any day thank you

WolfsburgRS · 3 Feb 2011, 15:28 (Ref:2825188)

I'm a huge Porsche supporter, always have been always will be.

That said, the 458 sounds in-sane! The 458 is a 10-fold improvement IMO over the 430, hard to fault this one...

Let's hope that the 458 doesn't go up in flames like Ferrari's new F150 does.

That black RSR is sinister!

arakis · 3 Feb 2011, 18:07 (Ref:2825257)

Question, are electro-hydraulic gearboxes alowed this year, you know like the ferrari f1 ones, and will porsche and ferrari use them, or is the third pedal (clutch) still mandetory

NightStalk3r · 3 Feb 2011, 19:08 (Ref:2825300)

I hope not, allowing billy shifters was a bad enough decision, GT2 is fast becoming far to easy to drive.

A black RSR.

I thought all new RSR's came from Weissach painted white.

...Unless it is vinyl wrapped.

Are they the same ones used in P1/P2?

I ask because Tom Kristensen said at the Autosport show they use the clutch to exit the pits so presumably a GTE using paddle-shift will too.

i just read ACO 2011 gt regulations, and it states that cluch can only be operated by the power of the driver exerted trough his leg, or something like that.

If they can snag Rob Bell they will be a force.

and yet all those cars were 2-4 second slower then last years 430! even with worst posible driver lineups the 458s and corvettes will blow those antiques away, and there is enough of bouth so that reliability wont save u this year.

BTW there is a silver lining in everything, with so many pro cars for porsche, 5 to be exact, your best drivers will be streched troughout the field
