MOTV8 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Aw shit, Bob. You'd be cruisin' around drinking that cup of coffee on every lap! Heyo, Paul Ricard is less than two weeks away: http://www.gtopen.net/article_app.php?id=1272&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter To be honest, I know V8Racing and of course Solaris are playing this season but I have not heard a peep from SRT....

MOTV8 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Uuuh...if I had bothered to follow Blancpain GT I would have known our boy Maxime Soulet is rockin' a Bentley GT3r this year. Shit. Tutumlu and his Kurdish oil money, out. Soulet, out. Where does that leave big Yellar and that 427? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTV8 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just getting worse now.... Miguel Ramos is in a McLaren now and it looks like he took Vodafone sponsorship with him: http://www.gtopen.net/article_app.php?id=1287&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Sooo...don't know about SRT and Archie Hamilton, and other than teh Pastorelli brothers I don't know who V8racing has for drivers.

Shifty Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm still stoked, though I'd prefer not to have to watch Archie's slow azz.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Solaris is stoked too.....they keep releasing remixes of their videos, but they have teh vette loaded on teh truck to Paul Ricard for this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It'll be interesting to see them on Michy's instead of 'Lops this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well...teh way this reads leads me to think Solaris is our only entry. I do know V8racing bought a gt3 mercedes in teh off season and they entered teh 24 HR series at Dubai, but they have given no indication they're coming back to this GT Open. http://www.gtopen.net/article_app.php?id=1299&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looks like Vodaphone went with McClarens... http://www.planetlemans.com/2015/04/23/gt-opens-tenth-season-starts-in-the-sign-of-great-battle/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+planetlemans+%28Planetlemans+Newsfeed%29 I guess it's yay team Solaris...

MOTV8 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yep, check post 258 above. Ramos, that basterd. So I'm told this was all about "The 2015 season will see further improvements to the formula, with a more homogenous field (all FIA GT3 –or assimilated- cars)" bullshit, and that our GT1 and GT2 Corvettes were legislated OUT of teh GT Open. Accordingly, I just went thru all teh stages of grief, as I realized those old Corvette warhorses may be put out to pasture finally. *sob Solaris. Let's hope their racing acumen matches their enthusiasm , and that ole Callaway GT3 vette can hang with McLarens, Lambos, and teh wicked 458's returning. They are set up at Paul Ricard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Possible good news! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDXYm6PWMAANuES.jpg I may be hallucinating, but that appears to be two Corvettes in teh Twitter pic from a few minutes ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Uuuuh...that's not GT Open. Teh one on teh left is teh ADAC GT Masters entry that Gavin wsa moonlighting in last year. One on teh right has a Blancpain sticker so I have no clue... Teh GT Open free practices did not go so well....http://www.cronococa.com/resultados2015/1146/openlibres2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTV8 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Well...its a small sample size to judge from, but IMO these Solaris boys are overmatched by better drivers in better cars. Shoulda followed teh Germans in ADAC GT. Race one recap at DSC: http://www.dailysportscar.com/2015/04/25/international-gt-open-paul-ricard-race-1-report-balzan-benucci-win.html I would've vadered a shot of Solaris' own grid girl.....but no need to kick them while they're down....
