Biela joins Lamborghini for Silverstone.

Frank Biela (DER), Audi R10 TDI.<br>Drivers Parade through Le Mans town.<br>24 Heures du Mans, La Sarthe, France. 17th-18th June 2006.
Although he is regarded as one of the finest sportscar racers in the world, the second round of the FIA GT Championship at Silverstone will mark the series debut of Frank Biela after he was signed to bolster Lamborghini's efforts for the Tourist Trophy.

With the All-Inkl.com Racing team heading to Silverstone on the back of a shock maiden win during the first round at Zhuhai, Biela has been tempted into the Murcielago alongside Stefan Mucke after Christophe Bouchut was forced to skip the round owing to commitments in the Le Mans Series.

More competition enters in round 4 of Australian GT Championship, Aston DBRS9 showing up to the table: :)

[zzzzdoc]

Should be very interesting. The Aston is a race proven winner. But on paper, very close, with handling, I would think, going to the Gallardo. That being said, I'd bet on the Aston.

[pdisme]

LOL, isn't that the way it always works too?

[markr]

It will be interesting to see how Frank gets on with the RGT. I will be watching. I should have the video of the race within a week after it airs.

Just for clarification. The Aston DBRS is headed for the Austrailian GT championship to race against the newly arrived G. A totally different series from the FIA GT series.

[pdisme]

I wish we could get the races in hi-def.

[markr]

I wish we could get the races in hi-def.

I can get them to you in avi. or mpeg. I am happy we get that since they aren't televised in the US. Along with LMS, and BSB we miss some great Euro racing.

[pdisme]

I'll grab them off bittorrent, I'm sure they're out there. I don't know why this country is so obsessed on the circle track racing; it's just soooo boring, well except for the wrecks; oh, think I just answered my own question.

[markr]

I have both the second round of FIA GT (RGT) and FIA GT3 (Gallardo) I will post them up for download once I get them loaded on my site. Word of mention, I don't think Biela was driving . . . at least they don't have him listed in the results.

Please send me the link when you find it.

Wow. 2 Ascari KZ1s in the top 6 in GT3. Never even seen one of those in person. Nice cars, but so rare.

[markr]

Please send me the link when you find it.

I have both the GT1, GT2, GT3 race. GT1/GT2 race is loading on my website for download as we speak. I will post a link when it is finished. GT3 maybe done later today. If not, by morning.

Chalk up a win for Lambo:

http://www.autoracingdaily.com/article/bryce_washington_the_big_winner_at_queensland_aust ralian_gt_championship/

Bryce Washington (NATRAD Lamborghini Gallardo GT3) was the dominant force at Round 4 of the Australian GT Championship held at Queensland Raceway at the weekend (May 26-27).

The young South Australian won all three races and as a result has now narrowed the gap to Championship leader Allan Simonsen (Consolidated Chemical Ferrari 360 GT) to just four points.

[markr]

The have one of the most diverse fields of any series. I need to find out more about their "performance leveling" practices.

[pdisme]

If it's like nascar, it means put unusual substances in your intake, then you're at a different level. :)

[markr]

Maybe we should make a new generic Lamborghini racing thread? Here is more.
