1) Pierre Bruneau: I've seen 2 different line-ups around - Rostan/Bruneau/Pullan and Rostan/Pickering/McAllister. Any ideas which it might be?

2) the 006 (?) Larbre Aston: Same again - Fisken/Franchi/Zacchia and Fisken/Bornhauer/Berville. Any ideas?

Hi jab, and welcome to the Sportscar and GT section of Tenths!

Expect Rostan/Pickering/McAllister in the Pilbeam (this was confirmed by Pierre a couple of weeks ago), and Fisken/Bornhauer/Berville in the second Larbre car.

I also have a question; am I right in thinking that the other Larbre Aston (Bouchut/Gollin/Elgaard) has been given the full set of 2007 upgrades that the two AMR cars have had? I'm sure I read a Bouchut quote somewhere that the rebuilt/upgraded car was of the same spec as the factory cars, and noticably faster than the Le Mans Series car. Can anyone confirm?

I've read in a few places that one of the Larbre cars has just been rebuilt by Prodrive and was shaken down at Snetterton recently, so I guess it will be to the same spec as the AMR cars.

Yes, I read that on DSC. The Bouchut quote, however, was not the one that's in that article. It referred to the 008 Larbre car as being the 'third factory car'.

The Real DMN · 1 Jun 2007, 12:33 (Ref:1926199)

The 006 and the BMS cars are factory as well though arn't they?

Prodrive built 12 works and 20 privateer cars as far as I'm aware.

The Badger · 1 Jun 2007, 12:43 (Ref:1926209)

What !!!

So there's 32 DBR9's knocking about ?

Why?

I think this is fair to Robbie - Dyson who has far more endurance experience than Kerr had more 'incidents' than Robbie did in that race at Silverstone.

Certainly an opportunity for him to shine, he has raw pace ... just needs the patience as well. Perhaps he also needs to learn things like looking after fuel consumption.

I am looking forward to the practice times!

........but, joking apart, it was the first time he had driven an LMP. And before the 'incident', he had successfully qualified the car on pole ahead of the Veloqz Audi's (driven by Herbert and McNish respectively), and the Creation which was being peddled by Nic Minassian. He led the race for the first stint, recaptured the lead having lost it during the first pitstops, and was comfortably controlling the race from the front. It was (at the time) the most impressed I had been by a driver in an endurance event for a number of years.

Consider also the relative A1 pace/success Robbie has enjoyed in the meantime vs other A1 drivers who are, or have been, involved in endurance racing, and I think you'll agree the 'pure genius' tag is perhaps a little nearer the mark than it appeared at first.

Wednesday the 6th is the day when it will be decided if Tom Kristensen is fit for the 24 hours of LeMans! That is stated on his website today. I sure hope he will make it!

brielga · 1 Jun 2007, 18:18 (Ref:1926438)

I sincerely hope he can make it!

Well, Peter's name is on the car, along with Smet/Hallyday and Gosselin, so I guess that's confirmed

According Wikepedia:

Quote:

Johnny Hallyday was born Jean-Philippe Smet in Cité Malesherbes, Paris, France, to a French mother, Huguette, and a Belgian father, Leon Smet. His parents separated not long after his birth, and he was raised by his paternal aunt, Hélène Mar. (His pseudonym was borrowed from his cousin's friend, Lee Halliday.)
...

He was married on April 12, 1965 to Sylvie Vartan (French singer) in Loconville. They have a son, David Hallyday (who is also a singer), born David Michael Benjamin Smet on August 14, 1966. Johnny was seen as a less caring father as his career had taken control of his life, his focus was more on his career and his next song rather than that of his family. Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan were France's "Golden Couple" of their generation. They divorced on November 4, 1980.

it is indeed
only difference from the 2 other : one MOTUL sticker; otherwise, same sponsors and (from what can be seen) same specs, not counting, of course, the blue color instead of red or yellow

I prefer seeing David Smet as a driver than listening to David Hallyday as a singer.

Thank you Bernard (and another great pic)!

This could be a bit of a dark horse and a genuine contender for the top step of the GT1 podium.

Fantastic pics, Bernard!

According Planet Le Mans Terada is in the T2M Dome.

jab · 3 Jun 2007, 17:13 (Ref:1927725)

lol, briefly before he binned it at the chicane, anyway

lemans.org live timing has an "A. Yogo" being the last driver in the JLOC Lambo. Any ideas who this is?

Also, any more news on the 3rd driver of the 13 Courage?

EDIT: According to the test day entry list there is a "Y. Atsushi" listed for JLOC, so I guess it's Yogo Atsushi, or Atsushi Yogo...

I did a little counting and arranging on the Entry. How many countries drivers represent (25), where chassis and engines are built, how many 3.6 liter V8 turbos (4) versus 3.8 liter V8 NA (2) entries? stuff like that. Anyway, I thought it would be interesting, perhaps some of you will, also.

Thanks for that, Tom. It is (as you said) very interesting reading.

According to DSC (I believe Mark Coles writing), Zytek haven't recieved dispensation for Tom Chilton to race.
