But I think some of them do need re-drafting.. Numbers 1, 3, 7 and 8 especially..
1 – 55 cars at the start once again:
Yes this year the level of confusion will be even higher with a record number of cars to keep track of despite the insane amount of alcohol you have consumed.
3 – See the Peugeot-Audi Duel:
Watch with perverse joy as the great French motor-racing hope suffers terminal mechanical problems and neither car completes the first 6 hours. Enjoy the absence of Peugeot flag waving French fans on the Sunday.
7 – Be impressed by Tom Kristensen:
Tom Kristensen: DTM Racer. A Man badly bruised
“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make Audi’s first bionic man. Tom Kristensen will be that man. Better than he was before. Better…stronger…faster.”
8 – See Jacques Villeneuve take on a big challenge:
Well anything that stops him recording another album has to be a good thing!
Hehehe...

Thrill to the Aston Martin/Corvette battle: Aston Martin has been coming to the 24 Hours since 1928
and won outright in 1959. The famous British make has been after a victory in GT1 since 2005 a quest
foiled by Corvette that has been racing in the Sarthe since 1960. In 2005 and 2006 the big American
car won the GT1 category and finished 4th overall last year. It will be another merciless scrap with the
added spice of a new contender for victory, the Saleens entered by the ambitious ORECA team.
Since when have Corvettes been big? Loud yes but hardly big, vettes are similar size to Porsche 911!Thrill to the Aston Martin/Corvette battle: Aston Martin has been coming to the 24 Hours since 1928

Agree that this will be the "slug fest" of the race to coin an American phrase, can't wait 5 vettes taken on 6 Astons and a pair of Saleens a Ferrari and a Lambo for good measure sounds like a race not to be missed.
