Hopefully so. Due to the latish start of the race, I may try driving some of the old course on Saturday morning.

Drop into Stavelot, and find the Carrefour. Belgian Beer take out.
Decent Pizza restaurant in the centre (Reccomended by Marcel from DSC fame, who likes his food).
Boggle at the Masta Kink...
Find the short loop that bypassed Stavelot.
Plenty of 'infamous' spots around that place.

Have a great time!

Visiting Spa for an F1 weekend or WEC weekend (with some LMP1 challengers) is on my lists of things to do.

Van der Zande announced as third driver by a Dutch press release http://www.autosport.nl/news/24733/s...tus_lmp2_.html although still provisional as it all depends on budget. He is supposed to do a test at Paul Ricard this week.

Would much prefer to see Rossiter and VDZ at Le Mans instead of their current line-up.

Thanks Tim. Will be looking out for all those things.

Yup, we'll be there with about ten heads, having ourselves a great time. I think it's a good thing the race is being run on the Saturday. This'll mean we'll able to hang around the place a bit longer whilst not having to work the next morning.
Nice.

Tim the Grey · 18 Apr 2012, 11:33 (Ref:3061429)

It's my eldest son's birthday, Saturday night... And he has a bit of a taste for Kwak. I suspect he may have a hangover, Sunday!

Heck, even if they did get the second car into LM, it's still unlikely we would see both the pros with Ahrabian's name still linked to it along with Weeda and Rossiter in the test day entry. Money talks, cars move at walking pace...

They're only an ELMS+Le Mans entrant, ELMS teams had a choice on whether to enter at Spa or not (in the limit of 42 cars on the grid).

Nice.

I'll have to go home quikly to get some sleep, and move on to Zandvoort the next morning for the ADAC-Gt-masters!

Coach Ep · 23 Apr 2012, 10:04 (Ref:3064150)

DSC is suggesting that both Status and Murphy will be added to the field (in LMP2) to replace the absent Toyota and believed to be absent Pesca 03 entry.

nobster · 23 Apr 2012, 18:16 (Ref:3064412)

Damn! was hoping to see the Pescarolo 03 for real but will now have to wait a couple more weeks....

ronnie peterson · 23 Apr 2012, 18:26 (Ref:3064418)

Motors TV will show the entire race LIVE as Eurosport 2 will only be showing the last 1,5 h.

Ignore this message if it was written before.

lemansfan · 23 Apr 2012, 18:36 (Ref:3064421)

We could make a short Meeting , as Test for the big one .

Deleted · 23 Apr 2012, 20:05 (Ref:3064472)

Great to have Motors back on board... it looks like a similar deal to pre-2009 LMS seasons when Eurosport only offered some 15-minute broadcasts from start and finish while Motors actually provided some racing...

I know that the factory teams have opposed Motors for a while because of the inferior availability and therefore lower TV ratings, but after we've once again witnessed Eurosport's empty promises and laughable coverage (add Dailymotion's craptacular streaming to that) I think Audi will be glad with Motors, too.

Of course, Eurosport's LM coverage will still be great.

Try a galss of scotch (it is beer) Lovely not unlike McEvans Champion Ale - many places serve it with a little bowl of cheese cubes..

Agreed it's not like the promoters really went out there and found a better alternative to Motors.

According to the entry list , Pescarolo hasnt entered the Dome for Spa . So , the P03 wont be going , so no Pescarolo at all ?

Whats the odds on letting him use his old chassis ?

diddy100 · 25 Apr 2012, 10:24 (Ref:3065293)

A few teams testing at Snetterton today and tomorrow - Jota, Status GP, JWA-Avila and also the Deltawing Nissan having another test session in the rain !!!
