Le Mans 2011 - Race Week Thread - Scrutineering/Qualifying/Race
With scrutineering due to begin in just a few hours, we need a thread for race week. My apologies for delivering a sub-Horndawg standard of opening post. I've simply stolen the links from Joeb's opening post from his Le Mans predictions thread. If anyone has the time to put together something a bit sexier, I'l copy and paste it onto this first post.
I've also 'unstuck' some of the other pre-race week threads, but Ayse, I have no problem if you feel they should still be sticky - feel free to apply the glue!

if anyone sees any comprehensive galleries of Scruitneering online, post them here. Need to check the final cars.
Already discovered the Oreca Pescarolo is now Blue and the AF Corse 458 have a new Italian Graphic on the side |

Certainly distinctive... a bit too harlequin/ten of diamonds for my taste.

Did one of the Oak cars maintain last years livery?
The ACO has some photos of scruteneering online: http://www.lemans.org/fr/courses/24h...es-photos.html |

Ah and so it begins for another year...
Thanks for posting up those scrutineering pics pesca. The Lotus looks great, always been a fan of the Jetalliance blue, white and grey, good mix of colors that work really well together. Although one wonders about the orange stripe, makes it look like another Gulf car. |

Brilliant photos pesca, but can I ask you to limit them in this thread, otherwise they'll take it over! Can you perhaps start your own photos thread? You may also want to upload to one of the photo hosts, like Photobox and link to the pages there?

thanks guys, been a huge help. The guide has been updated at www.spotterguides.com following today's scrutineering and other images. I've also updated the class boxes with the ACO has now decided to revert back to ILMC layout/colour.
Main changes today include updates to the AF Corse Ferrari's, new JMB livery, Luxury Racing Ferrari and small updates to Lotus and Oreca Nissan. One last update will take place after Monday Scrutineering. Expect it online, hopefully around 8am Tuesday 7th BST |

Sarrazin doing the qualifying runs in the #8 Peugeot... expect a 908 in pole-position then. |
