No, it's Hahahahaha, Lambo!

So what's the betting this year - will the actually make the start. Hell, will they actually make qualifying.

Been going to Lemons for a few years and still don't think I've seen a Lambo make a full lap!

Yes but WTF are Team Essex and van Merksteijn Motorsport? I can't see these guy's rocking the establishment. What happened to Penske?

Also is this the first year 911's are out numbered by Ferrari's? Never thought I'd see the day.

[ph1l5]

Doh no LNT Panoz, bummer.

Indeed

Is it the Ruskie team who ran the 550 last year? I'm pretty sure that made it to the flag so fingers crossed for the Murci.

[The Leaper]

//j17...there was a Lambo support race at Le Mans several years ago, as I recall. The noise rivalled the 24 hours race!R.

Well, as Penske run the RS Spyders in the ALMS on behalf of Porsche and Porsche have stated they won't be running works cars at Le Mans/in the LMS and also the fact that the ACO have been quite clear that LMP1 is for manufacturers and LMP2 is for private teams... Penske will be in the US getting cars ready for Lakeville race on July 11th/12th.

But then you get Shorty in LMP1 in his Pescarolo which is hardly a factory effort by anyones stretch of the imagination, so I guess there's ways and means around these things (read: buy a French car)

I believe Jos 'The Boss' Verstappen is penned in to drive the Spyder.

which planet were you on in 2006? the flames from the lambos exhaust at night were amazing

[Vette_1978]

Bit strange this, after watching the ALMS from the weekend I'm sure I heard Jim Tafel saying how his dream would be to compete at Le Mans. Well they've just pulled out.....

ETA
Just seen that next on the reserve list is a GT1 Lambo, can't they just bump another P1 off and get this one in?
