GT-One-esque(ish). First didn't like this, because the renders and previous photos looked so "toyish". Now I think this is damn nice. Non-livery doesn't do justice though, makes it look cheap.

They have promised to do 3:20 in Le Mans

.

I didn't like this, either, for a while, but from some angles it does look pretty decent. I quitelike the first and last of the 3 pics thumbnailed in your post.

Saw it yesterday on racecar engineerin and ofcourse, forgot to post it here! :banghead:

But i love this car. Love it! i just don't know where they will put the list. Or will they drive without them? :>

The car is underpowered but DOmes have always been aerodynamically efficient and that's where they gain the lack of HP. Petrol seems to be coming back in LMP1. With the AM LMP1 being 3rd it looks to be a great year for a petrol vs. diesel battle and if not this then 2009 for sure!

I know it's not exactly right, but I didn't want to start a new thread now that we have got this beautiful GT thread going. So, my question is...

Does anyone have a clue where FIA-GT will be broadcasted? Nothing I find on the FIA-GT site gives a clue, at least not in the places you usually look for the info.

Gil de Ferran's team revealed

It has been speculated that Ferran could become head of Acura's P1 team next year because he was Honda F1 team's sporting director couple of years ago.

+ Acura brand is coming to Europe, trying to win Le Mans obviouysly wouldn't be bad marketing...

That was some race and level of drama was quite a bit higher than in usual endurace race Don't want to spoil, but that's finally what we've waited since Le Mans year ago (when in Sebring/Barcelona epic kind of failed).

I really suggest watching the Eurosport highlights or if you know what certain place where to download motorsport torrents.

And there was this huge crash:

Apparently only broken ankle.

ps. Doing a monologue here

OMFG what a crash. And missing the Audi by just milimeters. Amazing.

In 2004 the ACO instated the chamfered floor section to prevent that kind of flip when sliding sideways at high speed...

... Apparently it didn't work.

holy crap that was massive

then open Radio Le Mans [url]http://globecast.workscast.com[/url] in some other media player because the video stream has no commentary.

Saw this video the day after the accident. Sickening. Glad he's (basically) OK.

[EDIT] Thanks for the links Deggis! I accidentally clicked 'save my preference' when I opened the stream in media player, so now I've gotta pick between Radio LeMans or the live stream.
lol

I can hear the audio stream, but none of the web streams seem to work for me

maybe because the race ended 5 hours ago

the radio works because it broadcasts old interviews and other stuff.

Damn forgot Spa was on today >.< anyone know when the N24h is btw?

22nd to 25th of May...

They recently published the entry list, and look who's taking part: http://adac.24h-rennen.de/renn ... 4170&cHash=155c9b6b45
I didn't know he's actually racing, does beg the question why his work is so miserable then...

He races VLN since a long time.

[off topic] (sort of)
Grand-Am is not really included in this thread (even though it deserves to be). Next upcoming event in the series is the "Six Hours of The Glen". It's available on SPEED and thus of course via the TVU player.

TV(U) Times:
11:00am EST (17:00 CET) Grand-Am
01:00pm EST (19:00 CET) break for F1 qual :doh:
02:30pm EST (20:30 CET) Grand-Am

Thanks for the info, will definitely watch it.

Le Mans test day is tomorrow:

9.00 am to 1.00 pm
2.00 pm to 6.00 pm

That's UTC+2 hours. It's just the pre-test (actual race weekend 14-15th June, in two weeks!) but Radio Le Mans will do coverage.

When the actual race comes closer, maybe worth a new thread.

Test day times:

Marc Gene had a big crash, he is luckily ok but he's going to need a new car:

Edit: Caught on track camera, AGAIN airborne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSsorp6F36s

Holy crap! That could have been seriously bad, looks like he nearly went into the wall head-first - literally.
