| At the recent FISA meeting in Heathrow, Gordon Murray was present and
actively discussing rules.
We may see McLarens in the GT class !

What about race length? Still a feeble 500km or a return to 1000km?
By the way, Mclaren will have to do something with their astonishingly
expensive white elephant.

| 1848.3 | no 1993 WSCC | ULYSSE::CHEVAUX | Patrick Chevaux @VBE, DTN 828-5584 | Thu Oct 15 1992 16:36 | 15 |
| The annual grand FISA convention took place last week (7/8/9 Oct) in
Paris. Very few things to report except:
- Max Mosley re-elected for 4 years (no other candidate)
- WSCC definitely cancelled with no complaints from the traditional
WSCC champions (Peugeot, Toyota, Mazda)
With no WSCC championship we're back into the ENDURANCE racing with a
few 12h, 24h, or 1000km races (Le Mans, Daytona, etc ...). Rather than
having to comply with the stupid WSCC rules each organising club will
have its own rules like in the good old days. Le Mans should see the
return of the great cars that have made it so famous. No more 3.5 ltr
bodied-F1 things anymore.
Welcome back GT and endurance racing !

>> F40/Diablo/Bugatti/XJ220 ?
No connection there then! :^)
The rules released by the ACO a while back included things like the
F40/Diablo/Bugatti/XJ220s as well as cars complying to the 1990 Group C
regs (Turbos/Stock blocks/3.5s/whatever, but tied to fuel consumption
regs - I don't know whether fuel consumption was part of the ACOs
rules), enclosed bodied F3000 cars (known as Le Mans Spyders, a generic
group, rather than a specific model), plus IMSA.
More or less open house as in the old days.

A couple of F40s also race in the UK. Never seen a Diablo racing,
though and I've never even seen a Bugatti or XJ200!

PS If the plans come about you'll probably see a Marcos racing at Le
Mans in 1994!

| Patrick,
These racing F 40's, are these the factory made LM's or are these
privately sponsored F 40's that have been individually prepared.
I'd love to see the factory get behing the F 40.
regards,
JP

| 1848.10 | LM me thinks | VIVIAN::G_COOMBER | Get on yer bad motor scooter and ride | Thu Oct 15 1992 18:08 | 12 |
| I've seen some of these supercar races on sky or whatever satallite tv
channel it was . The F40 looked like the the LM type. I say that based
on the windows, The normal road going has plain glass door windows, the
LM type has the perspex type windows with the sliding panel. And also
the LM has a distinctly different rear wing.
On the Le Mans front, a full grid would be nice. Anything is better
that the feable attempt this year. I have been going for some years and
it was very noticable the that the crowd low very much smaller. Poor
Weather or not , it was very low by comparison.
