Gt1 Alms 2007
What real news is there on Corvette and Aston Martin for next year?
After rumours of them both pulling out, the latest I have read is that Corvette are almost certain to contest ALMS next season whilst Aston are likley to continue despite the disappearance of Pirelli.
Anybody here in a position to comment on the truth rather than the rumours?

I think Aston are going to continue, havnt heard anything to the contrary at least.
As for Chevy, they say they are waiting to hear what the rule makers are going to do for the performance balancing next year, as it was a complete joke with the changes at every race almost this year. Their other option would be the LMS.

Aston and Corvette should be back, or else there will be no GT1 class in ALMS

the GT1 class is in a critical phase the past 2 years, I frankly I don't think that things will improve for 2007, 2 constructors thats very poor for the 1st sports car series in the world

sorry but better leaving things as they are, as creating some sort of "world championship" will hurt a lot the smallest teams of the LMS, which can't affrod a trip to the States !

in the GT1 class, two manufacturers with 4 cars, in a 8-12 race calendar, yeah thats very bad. LMES, is sort of the same way, (with alot of Privateers) but they also have the Ferrari teams in there

also if ALMS keeps changing the rules after each race Corvette teams will just leave. Originally Posted by Peter Olivola
