Ok Guys, Now how many of you were in Le mans 2000/2001? I've tried searching Google but sadly no luck frown I'm looking for a photo of a large advertising poster which if my memory serves me correctly was of a 4 blade rear diffuser attached to a Dodge/Chrysler Viper GTS-R.

The poster was advertising Michelin tyres (I think) and there was a big advertising board in the Old pit village near what used to be the Drivers Restaurant (ACO Hospitality)

Pic looked a tiny bit like this http://www.forzamotorsport.fr/photos/x1/forza-moto...
However the camera angle was more towards the rear and at a much lower angle.

Anyone got any old pics?

thanks.

This any good? Although it's a pic of a model (found on here actually) http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Scroll about halfway down.. (may depend on the number of posts you have per page)

Talking about Dodge Viper advertisements, I'd really like a soundfile (mp3) of the commercial Radio Le Mans ran in the late '90s which kind of went like this.

A guy is showing his house, small living room, small kitchen, small bedroom, small bathroom but with a BIG GARAGE..... (in which his Viper is standing proud, of course)

Do you perhaps have one, Fatboy18?

Sadly I don't have that one but I do have on Video 8 from 2001 a Chrysler advert about Racing a Viper at Le mans and winning and the advert went something like so you take a viper drive it for 24hrs and win.....Nuts,Chrysler an irrational way of thinking!

Sadly my Video 8 camera no longer works but I do have the tapes from those races and need to convert them onto DVD.

Any Idea on who to use for this process?
