You could always take in the sights of wonderful Northamptonshire if you get bored. They even have a golf course! |

You don't go to an endurance race and sit in the same seat for 6 hours, this is not formula 1, get off your backside and walk the circuit during the race, watch a while from all the stands that our open, talk to people and see everything, once you do this you will just have time to sort out le mans tickets

"an hummer"? What is that? I said what I said and I stand by what I said. People taking it at their own liberty twisting it to mean something like they were always faster than Audi by a second is wrong. That's not what I said. |

Really looking forward to the season starting. And yes, Sebring does seem like a long time ago for me too. I'll be getting up early Sunday to watch at there's 8 hours diff for us West Coasters.
P.S. Enjoying the Audi vs. Toyota lap time debate. |

^^^^^^^^
I don't think there was any coverage for practice or qualifying in WEC last year - unless I missed it, dam last season seems like years ago. I too will be getting up early Sunday - I think 6:00 AM green flag time for me (U.S. Mountain time zone) if my math is correct... |

I know they show qualifying on the wec site. I was hoping to see the practice sessions too.

You're saying it is clearly faster than Audi, and Audi is not capable to recover the gap! The same thing Peugeot supporters said in the last years (but the real gap was fairly higher than one mere second...). Then, Audi has always won in Le Mans except in 2009, while Peugeot... where Peugeot is now??? Anyway, I think Toyota is a very, very good car, and will really face Audi as in Le Mans, as well in WEC. It'll be a real show for all of us, waiting for 2014 and the return of the Queen of Le Mans. Toyota lost its great chances in Le Mans in 1994 and 1998, both times against Porsche. Next year there will be Porsche, as well as Audi on the starting grid, facing Toyota. Game will be hard for each of them, and the show will be greatest for us!

Ehm? Do they count the Eurosport Player as a part "Eurosport International"? You think it would mean the Int version of Eurosport "1". The schedule [International] says 30+60+60 mins: http://tv.eurosport.com/tvschedule.shtml Or maybe the schedule is just all wrong, that wouldn't be untypical.

Yep, you have to walk the track if you go. We did it last year when it was reasonably warm.

Excuse my ignorance but who exactly owns 'TUDOR' and why is it everywhere on the WEC website and timing instead of the usual Rolex branding we've been used to?
Has Rolex left the series? Does Rolex own Tudor, since I know they own a lot of watch brands that are not in their name. |

I was also wondering about Rolex at Le Mans given the F1 tie-up. Surely the famous clock isn't going to disappear?

Tudor was owned by Rolex and used by them to sell more watches without diluting the rolex brand, Tudor watches still retain an automatic movement rather than a 10p quartz movement used in some brand watches

Not a good start to the year for Aston.
Full engine change on the #97 before it's even turned a wheel. Spotted something they didn't like. |
