5 Upvotes

Done UK events to death, went to the Spa24hr a few years ago, Still have a desire to go, but a bit nervous of travelling on my own. Still seems some accomadation around the area based on airbnb though really i'd just wish there was a hotel.

But any concerns about solo driving/ travelling around Europe?

Hi, I recently I decided to do the 1997 British GT Championship GT1 Cars Teams and Drivers in the Wikipedia style, please give me some feedback.

10 Upvotes

Used as a source Racingsportscars.com and wsrp.com and I am planning to do the GT2 and the GT3 cars drivers and teams later as sources of information and I also have several questions

1) How do I merge the Darrian car number cells so that I do not need to duplicate the drivers?

2) Is the engine for the Darrian GT1 car in 1997 the same as the engine listed in the 1998 British GT Championship GT2 wikipedia table?

3) What tires did the Darrian run?

4) I could not find the what engine the Harrier LR9 GT97 ran, I could only find the Harrier GT1-98 and the Harrier LR9C, please could you tell me if they are the same?

5) Also did the Harrier LR9C run Dunlops like the LR9 GT97?

6) Would it be correct if the Quaife Ford Cosworth engine was listed as the 2.0l Cosworth the Harrier LR9C had?

7) What tires the #5 Ultima run?

8) Would it be correct in saying that the engine listed for the 1996 BPR Jaguar XJ220 would be the same used by the 1997 Jaguar?

9) What tires did the Venturi run?

10) What type of Porsche is the #8 Porsche is it a 993 a 964 or if it running "special bodywork" and if so what generation of 911 does it resemble the most and what engine size it is and tires?

11) Are the brand of tires the Parabolica McLaren running the same ones they run in the FIA GT?

12) #10, #17, #20 and #30 what tires did it have?

13) Did the Ascari switch to from the Chevrolet engines it used at 1995 Le Mans Prequalifying to BMW and if so what size was it and what tires?

14) Is it correct for the #14 car that the team name to be "Steve Wellings" because when I checked on racingsportscars.com and wsrp.com when it ran it did not run with a team name most of the time and on racingsportscar.com at one of the rounds this was listed as a team name so it fine?

15) Is it fine the the #17 car is listed as "Porsche 993 Turbo" because I thought it was fine because the front end of the car on racingsportscars.com listed it as a 911 however it listed it a 993 because the front end closely resembled a 993 GT2?

16) What size engine did the #8, #14 and #17 Porsche have

17) was the #30 Porsche 993 GT2 R I placed in the table a mistake

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions, have a nice day.

Spa WEC 6hr Camping

4 Upvotes

Hi, I am in the process of booking to attend Spa WEC from 7th to 12th May 2025. Tickets look ok on ticketmaster.be but there is no mention of camping on that site? And the https://www.ice-lux.com/ site says "CAMPING Tickets SOLD OUT" (in big red letters).

I am travelling on my motorbike and have no interest in driving to/from the circuit each day. Can you pros reassure me that if I buy my ticket for the event now then somehow (on arrival or sometime in the next 33 days) I will be able to get camping within walking distance of the circuit?

This will be my first WEC race but I did 24h motorbikes at Spa 2 years ago, which was amazing.

Imola Parking

6 Upvotes

I'm going to be attending the WEC round at Imola in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering what the parking situation is at the track? I've seen the Event Map and saw 3 "Guest Parking" areas and wondered if they were open to anyone or only certain people. There was no option to book parking when I booked tickets (unlike when I went to Spa last year).

Has anyone who's been before got any advice on this?
