Why won't they just give it up to someone else?

 

[RACECAR]

Better than what U.K. Sky customers are getting

You mean someone else is actually worse then Fox?

Don't Eurosport and MotorsTV show all the WEC between them? That's where I've been watching for years now.

Motors tv has been pulled from the sky epg. You can still find it though but it's no longer officially there.

Why do people always have to compare sports car racing and F1? It's the one thing I don't like about the Radio Le Mans guys, they always have to bring up something along the lines of "you won't see this in F1", then there's the F1 fanboys who spout crap like DC, thinking F1 is the king of all motorsport and nothing else could ever come close.

Meanwhile I'm here loving the fact that get TV coverage of all these different Motorsport disciplines and can appreciate them all for what they are.

Manor signs Will Stevens and adds a 2nd Oreca 05 to the WEC entry list. http://www.dailysportscar.com/2016/02/29/will-stevens-joins-expanded-two-car-manor-wec-campaign.html

I'm hearing that this manor is different and completely unrelated to the F1 Manor... Yet it has the old Manor bosses, and an old Manor driver...

Yeah, this Manor team actually has a chance to win and that other one will never win a race.

Well I'm not so sure about that yet. We've never see Will Stevens in anything outside an open wheel car and while there plenty of reasons to suggest another successful transition to Sports cars (Allmendinger, Andretti, Kanaan, Dixon, Lehto, Herbert, Brabham, etc), we have to remember this is the old Manor Management. Also, beware the gus bus.

Manor has a long history of winning in spec racing so engineering a Oreca 05 should be no big deal. Of course they will have to find a quick silver or bronze driver to have a chance to win in P2. Silver rated Gaetan Paletou just became available.💡

Another former driver joins Manor. http://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/jakes-joins-manor-lmp2-effort/

Audi testing at Paul Ricard and Sebring?

God that thing is ugly.

I'm silver rated, and I'm faster than most of your gold rated drivers out there.

Pascal Vasselon confirmed V6 Turbo for the TS050 in this short interview.

 

[catamount39]

Hopefully it's more Indycar or even Ford GT sounding than F1 sounding

F1 has it's sound thanks to the exhaust and recovery rules. Toyota won't be running a heat recovery system. Hopefully it's a good sound!

Guess I should've made it obvious that I was making a joke.

Sorry, I never now nowadays after a certain member (not you) was being an arse in the GT Racing thread about the Kremer GT3 Cup.

 

[IforceV8]

Today must be announce your fast new 3rd driver day.

Only 1 Toyota and 1 Audi compared to 2 Porsches seems a bit strange.

One AMR Pro as well.
