Barthez won the AM Class in French GTs last year I think in a Ferrari, and as mentioned he will be racing a Ferrari at the Spa 24 for his SOFREV ASP team.
Definitely looks like the real thing.
Someone to take over the "sports-transfering-Frenchmen" from Luc Alphand. I miss Luc and his Vettes!

Was going to the testday, but my treasurer decided against it

But, not to worry, I'll have RLM to the rescue!

I'd like some moving pictures with that as well.

Does anybody of you know if and where the testday will be broadcast on TV or the internet? ACO website hopefully with my Passion VIP? Somewhere else?

Dilemma about Starworks resolved thus, according to Dagys:

Quote:
Following Detroit race on Sat nite, Ryan Dalziel, @EnzoPoto22, + Corvette drivers @Jordan_Taylor88, @Rwestbrook1 & others taking plane to LM
Quote:
Will have a story on this interesting endeavor later this week.. There's also a contingent of Blancpain drivers from Silverstone doing same
So there'll be a lot of jetting to and fro this weekend, and a bit of traffic on the Le Mans airfield I assume... plus jetlagged drivers doing their 10 laps.

The cost of that Audi hospitality unit is probably greater than the budget for half the grid.

I do have to say it looks very much like the hospitality unit they had in 2008, so that might have been a good investment for a couple of years...

I think it's been the Red Bull one as they are usually in Canada for the GP on LM w/e, although they don't clash this year.

In which case they didn't take all of the red bull signage off before renting it out to Audi as I'm sure it was still on there the last couple of years but I may be wrong.

At least one car is sponsored by Red Bull.

I wonder how much of these hospitalities they have? This one looks the same as the one they use at the DTM.

Yeah, I was right in guessing it was Ekstrom's car.

A couple of test day LMPC line-ups:

Fabien Barthez, Denis Caillon and Bruno Bazaud.

Silicon Tech Racing Dempsey
Henri Richard, Duncan Ende and Steven Pallet.

And a new livery for Loeb Racing:

Few more sponsors and a move to Michelin which is kind of interesting.
