Infoscourse.org have posted an interview with Milka Duno ahead of the Rolex 24. The interview, by Claude Foubert, with accompanying pictures (Milka really is stunningly beautiful, isn't she!!), can be found here.

24 hour audio?
Will Grand Am have audio coverage at their site when the Speed coverage is not on?
Thanks |

The Grand-Am audio is the PA booth piped onto the Internet, so it will be around during the breaks in Speed's coverage, but the announcers won't be gabbing for 24-hours straight. There may be long silences, but they're still technically there. Someone in the media center may also be in the chatroom here as well.

is anybody showing any of the race on tv ? Whatever you might say about the cars , the racing is brilliant . Just take a look at who is driving the things . When was the last time so many top drivers took the start at Le Mans ?

Dude, this receworld.tv thing is cool! I know the TV is going on for 24 hours, even if it's not shown on speed, so are these guys going to show it for all 24 hours?

Last year was a good race until about the 22 hr mark. The weather sucked though. This years weather forecast looks awesome!! Shorts and tee shirt during the day !!!! Huge field of cars and stellar driver lineup |

nice big field- the set up and rules is actually now closing in on the orginal IMSA (Bill France-Nascar's daddy's answer to the SCCA getting too much respect and power...)
The Sportscar wars has been going on for decades- almost 50 years... from imsa before to Grand-am now and the new IMSA, and the ALMS- it is good to see the great drivers don't care much Lucas Luhr and Wolf Henzler really did a bang up job for Porsche power- no surprise though huh? I am quite excited to see this one- as the field is as big as any and every 24 hour race is a collosal gem to watch...who will win? I bet the Pontiac GTOr's have the durability and they will duke it out with the porsches, most DP's will flounder after a few hours and maybe one will get top honors, but i feel the smaller classes can trump again- especially this year- the crowding! |

Just been looking at the testing pictures on DSC, it might just be the angle of the shot but the Doran Ford of Bourdais actually looks handsome, the windscreen looks less upright than the other DPs and the tail seems a bit longer, almost like a Gp-C from back in the day. I'm not going to spoil the moment by trying to google a picture from another angle...
