does anyone know what school you would go to or what training you would need to become a driver for one of these racing teams for the ALMS or LMP2 series? i would like to become one eventually but i dont know where to start

[Porsche911GT1]

Skip barber maybe?

well you can try joining the ALMS forums and get advice from there. or maybe search one up.

[porschemaniak]

Ohh i want to be Porsche race driver at Le Mans or ALMS.Hey guys do you think there will be Porsche Spyder at LE Mans?

[Porsche911GT1]

No, Porsche doesn't want to race the RS Spyder at Le Mans and the ACO doesn't want them there either.

[vikirad]

Here's the question: why? Does the ACO feel that the RS Spyder is breaking LMP2 regulations? Because that's its class in the ALMS.

[Porsche911GT1]

the ACO intended the LPM2 class for privateers only, not a factory team like Porsche or Acura.

le mans 4ever

[minonkracer]

what the hell does that mean?

[fergus1494]

@mrnoobJI kart racing.. im sure everything in motorsport basicly starts with kart racing.

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

This was the first year for the R10 TDI, and without the Peugeot to challenge, it walked over the competition just as the R8 had for years. Since 2000, Audi has built the best race cars in the world, the R8 will go into the books as a legend like the Porsche 962 for sure. Now, if they could only get that damn R15 to work out better.

@Schumi1224

soccer = boring

Le Mans - keeps you on your feet if not for the competition - for the sounds of speed on the Mulsanne - beautiful track the circuit de la Sarthe is

[ratzinator1]

@Porsche911GT1

yeah, Skip Barber definitely - not sure about any others - I'd like to build one of these cars - getting my mechanical engineering degree - so all I need to do is get hired by somebody in racing and they might direct me to the right people - it's wishful thinking but I'd like to build a car for Le Mans and race it there - that's my dream - can't get the feel of Le Mans until I'm at the track and racing on it

[StegoOnVenus]

they redesigned the track in 2006. this time you will be less likely to die

[Schumi1224]

yeah right like the world cup is more important than Le Mans the most famous motor race in the world? im sure Le Mans should be just as important as the most important soccer game in the world.

[973SHA]

oh shoot the circuit de la sarthe course. This was used on the 24 hours of le mans mode on GRID and they have the one from 1968 without the two side turns on the long straightaways

[billdoesjudo]
