Title: Jan Lammers, Porsche RS Spyder, LMS and the S race
Post by: Pieter on December 07, 2007, 09:58:14 pm
Autosport.nl reports Jan Lammers will compete in the LMS and 12 Hours of Sebring. Apart from a few details he has closed a deal with Lista Horag Racing, entering the LMS series and the 12 Hours of Sebring in a Porsche RS Spyder. With that deal, it's also the end of the sportscar team Racing for Holland, which is sad but inevitable. I'm glad he can compete on a level that he deserves.
As for Le Mans, he has some interesting offers to consider...

Happy for Jan, but a shame that RfH disappears.
However you of all people should know if it's inevitable.
So I guess the odds are pretty good that we'll see Jan at Le Mans again this year?

What shame the 'brand' Racing for Holland will dissapear, but most mechanics I spoke to over the last few years did prefer A1GP anyway.
Of course it's great Jan will compete in '08, and I hope he will find a seat for Le Mans with podium-potential. We'll always cheer for him, and I'm glad he has already created a reason for us DfH people to visit the regular Le Mans Series' races.
Makes me wonder, should we change our name now? :-\

A sad day for sports car racing from my point of view, it's actually the spirited smaller teams like RfH which keep the series alive :'(
... and Paddy , no, please don't change the DfH name, it's almost a brand name!

Not to worry Werner ;D
What alternative would be there anyway? Pure Drinking, like in Spyker's Pure Passion?
Nope, we'll raise the RfH flags at LM for years to come! 8)

I've left the team a couple of months ago already Chris. I thought you knew already.

Sorry it didn't work out, but unless you took the chance then you would have always wondered.
