I've read that Fernando Alonso will be starting the race!

F1 is proving to be a very fruitful feeder series for the Le Mans championship. And FA might have itchy feet. Hes unlikely to win another wrld championship with ferrari. He might with the WEC

Yep, go and see his old mate Mr Webber

Also McNish will be Grand Marshal driving the lead car on the parade lap. I wonder how hard it will be for him to peel off down the pit-lane.

Wasn't it Alonso spotted taking 'intimate' photos of the Toyota or Audi at an awards dinner?

Can't help thinking there's some Ferrari momentum building up as well. Less inspiring in F1, Montezemelo courted as starter a couple of years ago, now Alonso, persistent rumours of a Ferrari prototype, rumours again from Hindy last week of another big name due talking about coming on board in the next year or two etc etc....
