As always reliability will be the key. Pit time is critical and last year the Vettes and Ferraris would have been on the same lap at the end had the Vette not spent 30 minutes longer in the pits than the Ferraris.

My biggest concern is the gearbox which has proved the achilles heel in the longer races over the last year.

err not strictly true, indeed not true! The Prodrives were say 2 secs a lap faster. So after 120 laps they would be a lap ahead. With say 320 laps done in the 24 hours and allowing for normal pit stops, they would have bested the Vettes by 2.5 laps

You have mail!

I will expect to see you eating humble pie here later......

This year I am hoping with the Michelin tyres the cars will be under 4 minutes a lap again and may also be able to double stint the tyres which will give them a huge advantage over last year. My biggest concern is the transmission which seems to be the achilles heel on the car.

If you are outside the entrance to the Museum up by the top lefthand corner of the circuit, you need to turn right and walk under the bridge. Once you are under the bridge, immediately on the lefthand side of the road is a road running parallel to the dual carriageway. About 200 yards on the right is a big building caled "Parc de Expositions" (Exhibition Park) and there is a round building with is the Rotunde.

If you need any help call me on [phone] or be in the ACO bar Thursday night at 8 p.m.!
