Stop the press... you won't believe it
I red the news three time in a row to beliveve my eyes : there's a solid info on a journalist site -very reliable- that ACO intend to built another chicane, between Mulsanne and Indianapolis curve, where the cars seems to be the faster nowadays !!!
 I think I'm gonna kill myself... or kill someone !

Somebody call Germany, see if they're up for a war... Lets just nuke La Sarthe and be done with it.
 (Not at all serious Fab) But seriously, this is the last straw. The track itself no longer has _any_ soul. |

Well what nex first the esses, now the run from Mulsanne to the Indianapolis, the ACO might aswell run the great race on the Bugatti Circuit ! ! ! !
I think everyone at the ACO must be on something, madness pills, stop play with the circuit, leave it as it please, thank you. |

Are they fiddling again ? They're cutting away all the character of the circuit. Shame on them.

What the hell is going on? Its bad enough that the greatest circuit in the world has been chopped about again for the sake of a few motorbikes, but why do any more? The ACO have history, character, even romance in their favour - the more they change further the character of the circuit, the more this will all be lost. I desperately hope this is just scaremongering. |

I will refrain to make any comment, as this is unnecessary.

I know the best idea, Take the F*cking chicanes out of the Mulsanne straight then leave it. Le Sarthes seems to be the only "real" circuit left in Europe nowadays and somebody, somewhere seems to want to F*ck up this circuit too

Have the FIA still got that stupid rule saying that straights aren't allowed to be a mile long?
If not then why are the chicanes still there? And given that its the ACOs race, why are they still there????? |

Some news, pals : Daniel Poissenot, race Director, gave an interview to a french journalist, Maxime Jamaux. He says that is a rumour, but doesn't confirm or infirm it...
I'm scared
