Re: [mogtalk2] FW: THE NO.35 OAK RACING MORGAN-NISSAN CLINCHES MAIDEN VICTORY

[David Ashworth]

I went to watch qualifying on Saturday afternoon - it was difficult to get excited about watching a grid of just 13 cars (only 9 of which were LMP2) circumnavigating Donington for 6 hours on the Sunday - and also a lot cheaper. It was good to see them put in five or six laps on Saturday though. I don't know how many people attended on the Sunday, but there appeared to be more people at the MSCC day than there were at qualifying! It was a shame really as the weather was great and the racing paraphernalia on display was second only to a full blown Grand Prix. It's also difficult to tell the difference between the various makes in LMP2 - and there's no way that as a spectator you could say that the "name" was in the public eye as it's practically invisible on either the car or the transporter. The LMP2's are quick though - lapping the full circuit in around 1 min 20 seconds. To give you an idea of how quick that is - the IMSA Porsche GT3RSR Le Mans race car was lapping in the 1 min. 30's The paddock was more interesting than the circuit though. There was a new +8 and a three wheeler tucked in between the transporters. I thought that this looked rather cute!

This car was entered by Jacques Nicolet's team only a few days before the event, and although it was the spearhead of the French squad's attack it had been hit with problems in the days prior to the race. On Friday it had an engine problem and water in the fuel on Saturday. All these glitches reduced the track time of no.35's drivers, in particular Olivier Pla whose first time out on the circuit was in qualifying when he set the fourth-fastest time. <http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s03_actualites/s03p02_detail_actuali te.php?news=2195> Click here to read more <http://www.lemans-series.com/ml/images/content/phototheque/2012/Donington/_ _02112808_177__250.jpg> If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us or to visit our website: <http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s01_home/s01p01_home.php> www.europeanlemansseries.com. <http://www.lemans-series.com/ml/images/content/newsletters/bottom_new_1.jpg  <http://www.lemans-series.com/ml/images/content/newsletters/topombra.gif>  <http://www.lemans-series.com/ml/images/content/newsletters/blank.gif> EUROPEAN LE MANS SERIES - 103 rue Lamarck - Paris - France - Tel: +33 (0)1 42 57 84 02 - Fax: +33 (0)1 42 57 84 35 Contact Presse :  <mailto:me...@europeanlemansseries.com> me...@europeanlemansseries.com - Website: <http://www.europeanlemansseries.com> www.europeanlemansseries.com  <http://www.lemans-series.com/ml/images/content/newsletters/blank.gif> <http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/ml/images/content/newsletters/botombra. gif> <http://www.lemans-series.com/en/s04_contact/s04p03_newsletter.php?search_to do=email-subscribe&search_email=tra...@hopmog.co.uk> I do not want European Le Mans Series information anymore ------------------------------------------- View posts on The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/mogtalk2@listbox.com/ [http://www.mail-archive.com/mogtalk2@listbox.com/] Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?& Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com <winmail.dat> View posts on The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/mogtalk2@listbox.com/ Modify Your Subscription
