I'll enter. I have to run some tests, but it'll be either the Mark IV, the Ferrari or the Alfa. Also, wouldn't the Challenger RM be in as well since the Camaro RM and the Challenger RM ware both Trans-Am cars? I don't know if the Challenger ever raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona though.

For the record:

The Mark II Ford GT40 won 1966 and the Ferrari 330 P4 won the following year in 1967

The GT40 won in '65 during the 2000km event.

The Jaguar XJR-9 won in '88

The R91CP Nissan won in '92.

Other winners in the game:

The #91 Team Oreca Viper game Dodge their first and only win in 2000, and the Corvette C5-R followed it up in 2001 win Team Corvette's first win.

The Nissan 300ZX "LM Edition" won in '94.

I won't make practice on Thursday.
 
OK, I'll bite. :)

GTP username: CAMikaze
Car Class (Class 1 or Class 2): Class 2
Car Choice:#38 Chevy Camaro Z/28 RM '69

With the suddenness of this announcement, I was wondering if moving the race back a week or two would be possible so that we could get more people to register?
 
CAMikaze your in the same car as me. An other race separated by one thousandth of a second?:lol: It' possible here too with the final drafting opportunity on the banking.
 
Sorry I didn't show up for practice today guys, an unexpected delay happened to me. It was already bad enough having a very low entry list and then I don't do it any good by not showing up. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother :indiff:
 
I think the drivers are low because it's such low notice. It was less than a week till the race was supposed to start. We should wait till next week.
 
GTP username: Duffers917K
Car Class (Class 1 or Class 2): 1
Car Choice: 330 P4 (or '69 GT40 if I can get one)

I may do Class 2 in an Alfa it it seems like there is more for Class 1 when the entry list hopefully fills up.


GTP username: Duffers917K
Car Choice: Jaguar XJR-9 (wish I could get castrol livery)

Should note my PSN is Duffers999. I'm not sure about the mark IV being allowed, it only ever raced at Sebring and Le Mans and has 2 litres on the P4 and XJ13.

You know what?

Definitely need to practice though. I'm not good with that car at all.
 
Sorry for those who have been expecting something. I've done the worst job possible of managing this event. Suddenly throwing it up doesn't do any good for interest and not showing just makes it even worse. And the final nail in the coffin came in the form of blackouts, in which I couldn't control. So before anymore confusion happens, I'm cancelling it and subsequently, closing the thread.
