There appears to be coverage of the Test Day on ITV4 in the UK on the 7th and 8th June, a 35min programme (I assume the same show repeated both days).

Just to confirm Ferrari's line up - #78 = AF Corse #82 = Risi Lead Car #97 = BMS Italia #96 = Virgo Badger picked Porsche on pole, might be a given, but I wouldn't count out Melo or Vilander... |

Has anything changed on the RS Spyders? I noticed the four flaps joining the fenders to the body have merged into two, but something looks slightly different around the headlight area... http://www.zoom-24.com/index.php?opt...1&key=12&hit=1 http://www.zoom-24.com/index.php?opt...1&key=24&hit=1 |

I know there was a rumor of Le Mans bodywork for the cars, maybe they have choosen to show up with the standard cars to see how they do first and then show up for the race with the aero package, not forcing their hand and since they have Porsche factory pilots in these cars, who's to say they won't make a push to be bothersome to the LMP1 cars. Remember the MG EX675 wasn't expected to challenge the bigger cars, especially at La Sarthe, but barring any craziness, I do expect the Porsche LMP2's to be HIGH in the Top Ten by the 12th hour... |

the vitaphone aston looks simply fabulous, its just a shame the driver line up is so second rate compared to the usual vitaphone driver line ups, is the team behind that car vitaphone or strakka? |

the #1 (that raced in the LMS) is in the truck and won't be used |

Who's the 23 Creation? It has an american flag on the front........
Edit- Never mind, It's Autocon. The PLM spotters guide has me confused with the picture. Last edited by Jimbob-18; 30 May 2008 at 20:01. |

From what I see, Vitaphone has a 2007-spec car, at least from the front end aero.
