Hey PH'ers,

In light of the entry list being announced earlier today, I thought I had better announce that I will be doing a guide to all the teams and drivers once again this year.

I am currently planning the content since I am hoping to add in a few new features...

If anyone has any suggestions for the new guide, then please please go ahead and post them. It may well appear in the final version. JUICY! eek

I will use this thread to post updates on the progress of the guide as I complete each section.

Speak later,

Stephen

Looking forward to it already.

Can you add a "Did you know" nerdy Le Mans facts and perhaps a bit on some of the ALMS races and 12 Hours of Sebring to inspire us to go further afield!

We should put a sticker together for those using the guide - like an "intel inside" logo.

Thanks Irish.

Some good suggestions, I was thinking about adding articles into it about various topics/series. Who knows, there may even be an interview with a driver appearing in this years addition. wink

As for the sticker idea, it wont be easy. I would have to send everyone a template to use or something.

Hey guys, I have managed to do about 27 pages of it so far. I have completed all the LMP1 teams and have done a few GT's and LMP2's too. Shouldn't be too long until release. There are also a few surprises included too that were not in last years guide.

It's all systems go here....

Nice one Stephen. I didnt see this thread before and was wondering if you will be doing another excellent guide!

My Le Mans buddies where very impressed with last years efforts.

I'm glad! It's taking a long time, a lot of research, but I enjoy it too much..

I was at the six hours of spa, so no I didn't see it... smile You know more about the race than me!

Do you mean a race review or just take into account the results from Spa? I waited until after spa to write about the WEC teams for that reason.

Cheers

Progress report: Around 85% complete.

Should be out very soon, it has some very special surprises that only I know about at the moment, one includes someone who will be driving at this year's race. Can't say more right now.

It's going to be better than last year, I garuntee. Get ready folks.
