French Prime Minister tests Courage LC75
François Fillon, the current French Prime Minister, has tested a Courage LC75. EI says he turned in lap times at the Bugatti Circuit "quite lower that two minutes." How good/poor is that?
I assume the AER partnership means this one had an AER P07 motor, right? http://translate.google.com/translat...e.php?sid=3888 http://www.endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=3888 http://translate.google.com/translat...rage-lc75-lmp2 Wikipedia says he has competed in the Le Mans Classic 24-hour race. Does anyone know which year and what car? He was born in Le Mans in 1954. He has tried to convince Henri Pescarolo to race a diesel engine since 2003. http://translate.google.com/translat...e.php?sid=2917 http://endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=2917 |

He drove in the LM Classic last year. (As opposed to the 'classic' Le Mans 24 Hour race...... ). An Alpine with Bourdin and Yvon.
I don't believe he's ever driven the LM24 Hours itself - but I stand to be corrected. |

With his brother, they are true lover of cars racing. His brother drove the MS80 in LM Story.
Francois ran in Le Mans Classic 2004 with a Ferrari 250 and then in 2006 with an Alpine and a Ferrari. he dont owns any Ferrari... http://www.blog-fillon.com/article-6907318.html http://www.blog-fillon.com/article-6836554.html when he was young, he sold program during the race as a scout ! I met him several times during 24 hours (we were once in the same restroom !) |

And the Courage went faster with him at the wheel than its le mans drivers, and spent more time facing the right way

Is this ten tenths or prime minister's question time?
We should host the 'politics of ten tenths' on global tv- that'd be controversial |
