Grand-Am puts a lid on it
No more constructors will be allowed to build cars for the Daytona Prototype class, the Grand American Road Racing Association has revealed. Series bosses have decided to bar the entry of any chassis builders wanting to enter the new class, now in its second year, to protect those who already have cars on the grid. That means the choice of Daytona Prototypes will be limited to seven current designs for an unspecified period. "A lot of people have asked us about building chassis for the series, but we have said no,'' said Grand-Am president Roger Edmondson. "We are totally satisfied with the quantity and quality of the people we have already. They stepped up when others were laughing and made an investment. We want to ensure that they can recover that investment.'' The seven Daytona Prototype constructors are Fabcar, Doran, Multimatic, Picchio, Riley, Crawford and Chase.
Le Mans entries are up
Entries for the Le Mans 24 Hour in June have exceeded last year's total. Seventy-seven applications, an increase of five, have been received by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the race organizers. That number will have to be reduced to the 50 cars and six reserves allowed to take part in the official Le Mans test day at the end of April. A total of 40 entries have been received across the Prototype classes, 27 in LMP1 and 13 in LMP2. GTS has attracted 14 entries and GT 27.
