Funny, this is the Petit Le Mans thread, yet I see discussion about 2008 LMS entries...

The updated entry list from IMSA also has Memo Gidley joining the Cytosport team, Eric van de Poele in the Doran Maserati, and Darren Turner in the Krohn/Risi Ferrari.

I wonder if the '07 Creation's cockpit is larger(probably not, as it seems to be an updated '06 car, with a rules compliant tub), since Primat had a lot of trouble with driving the Creation last year, as he was too big for the cockpit.

Says on DSC that the cockpit is bigger - so hopefully less of the problems he experienced last year

I just had a look at SpeedTV.com to see their schedule for the race. It's a bit disappointing...
(all times EST) 11am to 1pm - Petit Le Mans 1pm to 3:30pm - NASCAR Nextel Cup qualifying 3:30pm to 6:30pm - NASCAR Craftsman Series race 6:30pm to 10:00pm - Petit Le Mans So we're getting 5.5 hours of coverage, some of which will be taken up with pre-race and post-race commentry. |

How come we have to endure NASCAR almost every time ALMS wants to run a race on Speed???? You'll be glad to know that those missing 5 hours of the race you WON'T see with your eyes and maybe only your ears with Radio Le Mans will be available about 12 hours after the race has ran on the net and NO will not tell you how to find it.
Let's hope that darn CDW rumor is true because I am really tried of my ALMS being cut short or time delayed for some stupid reason. Either put the things on live or put them all on tape delayed, I'll just watch the Men & Motor's or Motors TV version... The race should be pretty good actually so I'll keep positive about it. |

It might help if Petit was run on Sunday, since there'd be no NASCAR races on Sunday, but that would conflict with some of Speed's other Sunday staples like Speed News, Wind Tunnel, and NASCAR Victory Lane. |

They got a 2.3% weight break instead (880 kg instead of the new 900 kg limit).

According to end-info , it looks like Bertolini will be racing the lista MC12 with Leinhard-Theys ..... no Van De Poele .

There is no need to repeat the talking head shows 2 times between 6pm EST and 1am EST for example. There is no need to show 4x4 races live when the stands are near empty, as such with the California and Las Vegas races largely. They aren't complaining about coverage; they get plenty between ESPN, NASCAR dot com, Motorsport dot com, Yahoo, Google and Speed. They get 4 different talk head shows that get run twice a day as when they originally aired because not enough necks own a Tivo or Media Center PC or a PC at all. Even the NFL doesn't get covered as much in mainstream media in some cases. The only NFL shows on constantly are on their OWN channel. Maybe that's a hint for the management at NASCAR get your f**** channel already and **** off TWC & Comcast owners by charging extra like the NFL network does. Stop making excuses for NASCAR being the 800lbs Monkey it doesn't need it. If Speed can show 20 hours of the 24 hours of Le Mans then they can show 10 hours about a 2 hour plane flight from NC. Excuses, excuses Eh, Motor's coverage won't be interrupted by taxi cabs, 4x4 trucks or hacks working their way up to Cup or not. |

Agreed.
Nascar is plenty strong enough for it's own channel, and that could help ALMS and others a lot, so they could come out of NASCAR's shadow. |

if NASCAR gets its own channel, who will pay the bills at Speed?
I guarentee if MotorsTV had the rights to F1, they'd be pre-empting plenty of other series to show F1 series. It's the largest sport, can't blame the massive number of people who want to watch this stuff. I don't know what "Talking heads" show you're refering to, none of them are interrupting Petit. Only qualifying and racing are, and NASCAR gets first dibs on those time slots. |

If you show up at the track, with money in hand, and a legal car..... well, the closing date is likely Wednesday... but at this point I don't think a team could make a decision on Monday, and get all their gear from Europe over for Wednesday/Thursday, customs etc.... |

NASCAR Victory Lane "Back In the Day" with Jr NASCAR Raceday NASCAR Live! "Go or Go Home" "Swaping Paint" And about 20 mins of a 1 hour show devoted to coverage of NASCAR Not to mention at least 3 mins on Sportscenter, about 2 mins on your local sports newscast. When all is said and done ISNT THAT ENOUGH COVERAGE??? And I haven't mentioned the 3 shows that ESPN currently has and the special that was on ABC in prime time 2 weeks ago. Back on topic - Should be a good race and only GT1 being a forgone conclusion already, I am actually looking more forward to the "State of the Series" address on I think Wed or Thurs. Season is winding down and Peterson/White has already started testing for Dakar! |
