Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: rcutler on September 29, 2006, 10:38:04 pm Just noticed that this is probably the quickest a topic is gone "Off Topic"!!
Back on Topic. Old chassis seem to be pointless buying as the new aco regs mean that chassis mods seem to be one of the areas that the car gain an advantage. Running a 6 year old chassis seems a bit daft to me! Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: DelBoy on September 29, 2006, 10:39:22 pm Hi Johnny
Good information - if it is true. When you get info like this, it is better if you quote the source of the information eg give the URL of the site, or the name of the magazine/newspaper where you saw it. Not only does this give the info credibility, but if the info turns out to be incorrect, there is no comeback to yourself. NB Keep your eye on Rick's posts - if he makes a spelling mistake, you can respond as he did (and the excuse of being p*ssed is NO excuse)!! :-X :-X :-X Del Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: Ferrari Spider on September 29, 2006, 10:58:06 pm 0/10 Spelling "Bought" You've been known to have dyslectic aberrations at times Rick ::) Treating the root cause of Dyslexia Proven, drug free remedy & support http://www.dorecentres.co.uk/default.aspx Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: rcutler on September 29, 2006, 11:07:32 pm adn tis tsill nto no tpoic! ;D

It was announced in an interview with Henri Pescarolo (with Laurent over on Infocourse - i think) that Pescarolo would be making 6 new cars for 2007 at full LMP 1 spec, with the intention of racing two themselves at Le Mans and the LMS and selling the other 4 to customers. He apparently hinted that Lister and Kruse had bought one each and that Kruse may purchase a second.
It seems old Henri has decided to quit whining about lack of money and sell cars to finance their racing. No spelling errors - I hope. Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: Andy Zarse on October 02, 2006, 12:58:42 pm Whatever Laurence Pearce has bought, it's got to be better than that useless Andy Thorby designed Storm. What a pack of crap that was.
Whilst we're all picking on poor Johnny, I noticed he used the wrong version of "their", and "aswell" is two words as well. Oh, and what's a "hybride"? It's a good job that nice Mr Blair keeps telling us that the standards in school, measured against exam results, are perpetually raising!

So potentially, its a 7 year old design, but modified to this / last years spec with a customer engine ?? I loved the noise of the Storm. Terrible results, but ear bending noise. Good to see some good info for once. Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: hgb on October 02, 2006, 02:55:12 pm ... and Kruse had bought one ... Definate NO. It seems old Henri has decided to quit whining about lack of money and sell cars to finance their racing. For the fact that he kept on complaining to have no money, his season went pretty decent and consistent. Remember: 5 top podiums in LMP1 out of five rounds. I don't believe a word he is saying about money, or the lack of it.

Obviously, we all make typos, grammar and spelling mistakes etc but there's a limit where sloppily worded offerings become discourteous to the reader because the writer can't be bothered to check wot they rote. And Kapitle leters are their for a porpoise... Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: Jay (Team Cannonball) on October 02, 2006, 08:16:41 pm Hgb, The news regarding Kruse came from Henris very own mouth. Now I understand you may have some contact with the team from previous posts, but are you privvy to all their business decisions? There has been no formal announcement from the team I will give you that.
See http://www.endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=2639&thold=0 It can be babelfished but the translation gets slightly dodgy in places. Edited to say, they may just be buying the tub from Pescarolo to upgrade the current C65. Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: hgb on October 02, 2006, 09:09:51 pm Fair enough Jay, I still don't trust Henri. ;D
Kai was sitting at the back of the truck at Jarama when he told me (and others) that Henri approached him with this offer and he declined it. It might look different next year but this is what I know for now. Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: Jay (Team Cannonball) on October 03, 2006, 09:28:12 pm What is for certain that the current C65 cannot be raced next year in its current guise.
Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: Jay (Team Cannonball) on October 03, 2006, 09:46:54 pm Oh and before I forget hgb, Has Kruse bought the G-force car or are they just leasing it from them?
Title: Re: Lister have borght a C60 Post by: hgb on October 04, 2006, 08:23:33 am It's the other way around. After G-Force crashed their chassis at Spa, they didn't have one for Le Mans. So, to not miss the opportunity to race at Le Mans, Frank Hahn borrowed the Kruse chassis plus the people to set it up and entered it at Le Mans. I've got no idea what happened to Frank Hahn's chassis as it hasn't appeared at any other LMS race after Spa. The Kruse car belongs to Ian Mitchell.
