USCC 2014 Entry List & Schedule ONLY

[MoMedic9019]

They are heading to Germany to prep the car prior to Sebring. I'm sure CORE is doing the same, just sooner.

[TF110]

Nobody said anything about the car shown. Theres no smiley-face fog lights at the bottom!

[FalkenALMS]

The car shown in our press release was the one we tested at Porsche's facility in Weissach, Germany. It is not ours, as ours will not be delivered for several more months.

When we run, we will run our iconic teal and blue livery.

I think it looks better without the goofy fog lights.

I'm glad to hear that Falken will be back. It's a great group of people... hopefully the team won't mind me saying this but they will definitely be the underdogs in the GTLM season next year with Paul Miller and AJR moving to GTD. I wish you all the best of luck next year.

EDIT: I just read that the team won't be participating in Daytona next year. That's really a shame.

The "goofy fog lights" look like headlights of the 935 in the 1970s.

Fantastic to hear the confirmation of Falken getting a 991 RSR, well deserved guys, well deserved

Aston enter Daytona officially. And will be at the test.

Falken not being there seemingly leaves the door open. If they get an entry they will look to do the entire NAEC.

Also interesting to see DHH on driving duties in the test.

Can TUSCC really afford to turn away a factory effort like Aston? It would be massively foolish to snub them at this early stage. They should be moving heaven and earth to try and get them into the NAEC. A full season could follow in '15 and beyond.

They will find space for them, surely. Besides that, I'm not sure that the class cap will even be an issue at Daytona, because there are only eight confirmed full-season entries for GTLM, nine including Falken (not really full season given they're skipping Daytona). That leaves four spots for Euro teams like AF Corse and Aston Martin Racing.

That GTD list is already getting crowded. The possibility of turning away entries for Daytona is looking ever more likely.

[jasonjessica09]

I have stated that its possible you will have at least 19 GTD TEAMS file an entry. I would be surprised if there are any 2 car entries in GTD.

[David Land]

That list does not include the Pecom Racing Oreca-Nissan.

Oops nevermind just saw it. Should be higher than 'possible'.

It's listed under possible, they've stated their intention to do the full season on sportscar365 but haven't confirmed anything yet. I would be cautious about any of the European full season entries, including Greaves

Have the Lizards announce a deal with Porsche yet? Last I heard the were in discussion with Audi too

I read somewhere, can't remember where, that they're doing GTD in 2014.

Not Audi. Here is the article.

Where in that article does it say that Audi is not in consideration by FLM?

L.P.

;-) For those that don't have the time to read it, here's the main point:

“We’re getting very close to a decision,” Ingraham told Sportscar365. “We’ve got it narrowed down quite a bit. That said, we’re finalizing now, trying to get the final numbers out there, understand what’s out there and understand how competitive it can be. Then we’ll make the decision from there.”
Ingraham admitted one of the options is Porsche’s new 911 GT America, which is expected to make up the majority of the GTD field next year. While the team has enjoyed a 10-year relationship with the German manufacturer, Ingraham said they are seriously evaluating other options as well.

[Lanky Turtle]

And in this article about GTD entries Dagys says the cars are TBA and they have been in negotiations with both Porsche and Audi.

Again, that doesn't single out Porsche as the winner, or even the front runner. It even states they're 'seriously evaluating other options'. All we know at this point is they will be in GTD...

Uh, yeah... that's why I posted it, along with HDawgs quote... and it pretty clearly states the fact, no? ;-)
