FIA delays decision on TDS Le Mans appealIt could be another week before the FIA Court of Appeal reaches a decision over G-Drive Racing/TDS Racing’s appeal against its exclusion from the class win at the 2018 Le Mans 24 Hours. Following yesterday’s hearing, French media reports indicate that lawyers for Signatech Alpine, which inherited the win after the No.26 Oreca Gibson, driven by Roman Rusinov, Jean-Eric Vergne and Andrea Pizzitola, was disqualified for a fuel rig regulation infringement, have told the team that “judges apparently want to take their time before reaching a verdict.” racer.com/2018/09/19/fia-delays-decision-on-tds-le-mans-appael/?utm_source=racer&utm_medium=recirc&utm_campaign=rail-most-popular

Juncos Cadillac DPi plans coming togetherNew IMSA entrant Ricardo Juncos sounds like he’s genuinely enjoying the process of assembling Juncos Racing’s Cadillac DPi-V.R effort that will make its debut in January at Daytona. Set to run in IndyCar, the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and the Road to Indy, Juncos has more than enough work in hand to stay busy during the brief offseason. racer.com/2018/10/05/juncos-cadillac-dpi-plans-coming-together/

New "Official" (?) lap record at Mount Panorama
(Button's 2011 lap was faster. What's an "official lap"?)

Zanardi, RLL partnership in the works for Rolex 24BMW’s service provider for IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will learn the names of its full-time and endurance event drivers next week during the brand’s traditional revealing of its plans for the following season, and if it includes Alex Zanardi for the Rolex 24 at Daytona, BMW Team RLL co-owner Bobby Rahal won’t be surprised. “Obviously we’re going to be there, but we don’t know who’ll be driving the cars; those decisions are made by BMW, not us,” he told RACER. “It would be really cool to have Alex with us – he’s a good friend – but at this stage, we’re waiting to hear who we’ll have in the M8 GTEs.” racer.com/2018/11/27/zanardi-rll-partnership-in-the-works-for-rolex-24/

SVRA Forms Vintage Race Of Champions Series By SPEED SPORT Staff - November 29, 2018 SOUTHLAKE, Texas – The Sportscar Vintage Racing Ass’n has announced the formation of a championship points series called the Vintage Race of Champions for next season. VROC builds on the success of the SVRA Charity Pro-Am races that began at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2014. Virginia Int’l Raceway hosted a second pro-am this past September, while a new pro-am will be presented at the March 28-31 Road Atlanta weekend, making for a three-race series. Plans call for two championship trophies to be awarded – one for both an amateur and a professional racer. All three races will benefit charity. The new Road Atlanta Charity Pro-Am will support Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit organization that provides assistance to combat-wounded service members, their families, and families of those killed in action. The organization focuses on those involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom and their families. The SVRA race weekend will run during their Month of the Military Child. “Hope For The Warriors is proud to recognize the service and sacrifice of military children,” said Robin Kelleher, CEO. “Alongside SVRA and their VROC Charity Pro-Am Race, we will celebrate their warrior spirit and open our Drive for Hope program to benefit our youngest heroes during the Month of the Military Child.” The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Brickyard Invitational Charity Pro-Am will benefit the Morgan Adams Foundation. The Morgan Adams Foundation supports laboratory and clinical research in the area of pediatric cancer, with an emphasis on tumors on the brain, spine, and central nervous system. The Brickyard Invitational will be presented on a new date in 2019 – Aug. 1-4. “We are new to the SVRA family and very appreciative of their support,” said Morgan Adams Foundation Founder and Executive Director Joan Slaughter. “For us to partner with Tony Parella and everyone at SVRA is a wonderful opportunity to benefit children and young adults fighting cancer.” The VIR event will benefit IGNITE – the Autism Society of North Carolina’s community center for young adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger’s syndrome. IGNITE was founded by The Evernham Family Racing for a Reason Foundation – a nonprofit established by legendary NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham and his family. Evernham, with professional co-driver Boris Said, won the VIR race this year. “All of us at the Evernham Family Racing for a Reason Foundation appreciate the hard work, generosity and professionalism of Tony and his team,” said Evernham. “The races are great fun for everyone involved and the fundraising has done much for the important work of IGNITE.” “The pro-am races have not only been a great benefit to charity, but they have proven to be a hit with fans,” said SVRA CEO Tony Parella. “They get unprecedented access to their heroes from IndyCar, NASCAR, Trans Am, IMSA, and short track racing, many of which have become frequent competitors in our races beyond the pro-am events.” SVRA officials have set a goal of expanding the VROC series to five races with a television package and entitlement sponsor by 2020. Many of the professionals who have competed are veterans of the old International Race of Champions series. All have been champions at some point in their careers. Al Unser Jr., Bill Elliott, Bobby Labonte, Ron Hornaday, Mike Skinner, Paul Tracy, Willy T. Ribbs, and Jimmy Vasser are among the legends who have participated in previous years. Once again, the cars the drivers will race are 1963 to 1972 vintage Corvettes, Camaros, and Mustangs of SVRA “Group 6” A and B Production.

Great photo there. That Vette is owned by Canadian Peter Klutt, who owns Legendary Motorcar Company.
Peter previously co-hosted the television series "Dream Car Garage" with the late Tom Hnatiw on Speedvision/Speed Channel.
