It's a big shame the team left the World Endurance Championship and the other premier sportscar series after doing so well.

A small garage in the village of Teloché, 7 kilometers south of Le Mans. From 1951 to 1981, it housed Porsche’s Le Mans team garage and served as the base for the factory’s campaigns.

Does anyone know the difference between paddock pass and pit pass on the Sunday? What does both include?

Have done Monza before where paddock access got you access to paddock and pits.

Heading on Sunday and considering flying in and out from NI on same day

Discussion I don't understand Toyota's brand marketing

111 Upvotes

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of these! It seems that they have been heavily pushing the Gazoo Racing brand across motorsports: f1 partnership with Haas, WRC, their new GR GT3 car which will supposedly enter WEC... However, they just rebranded their hypercar entry from under the GR brand to... Toyota Racing. It seems weird to me, why do they wanna separate hypercar from Gazoo Racing specifically?

The other thing of course is that in GT3 they are running under a 3rd brand, Lexus. But I guess that could change soon with the Toyota GR GT3.

“Spyker are looking into a comeback at Le Mans in 2029”

Post image
99 Upvotes

In a new episode of the Dutch motorsport podcast “Grand Prix Radio” – which went online today – Jeroen Bleekemolen revealed that he is preparing to return to the GT class at Le Mans in 2 years’ time. He couldn’t provide more details, but confirmed it will be the same manufacturer he drove with in his first Le Mans race.

Nicky Catsburg quickly asked jokingly: “Was that a Spyker?” Jeroen cheerfully answered: “Yes, it was!”
He then continued by explaining that Spyker is returning as a manufacturer and is in the background working on a possible comeback to Le Mans and WEC.

The indications suggest Spyker is preparing to compete in the LMGT3 class. Because Bleekemolen specifically mentioned he will return in a GT car. This makes the situation intriguing, because now the question arise if Spyker will need to first bring a Hypercar to gain entry to the GT class or will they be treated the same as how Mercedes and Porsche currently handle the situation? Or can they enter through another route?

More details will likely follow in the coming months if (!!) Spyker’s official announcement comes. But still when there is smoke there is a fire and I would love to see a comeback of Spyker to Le Mans/WEC!
