is this confirmed ?

I always thought that the ACO never wanted to pay the FIA stupid money

[The devil]

It wouldn't be FIA if it was a breakaway series it would be FOTA

Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen,
The circuit is sterile enough now after the bike boys got changes to the run down from the Dunlop bridge to the esses because the entry to the Bugatti was 'Too dangerous' followd by the tightening of the Dunlop chicaine before the bridge because it was 'too fast'.
In the light of that I dread to think what a bunch of F1 prima-donnas will demand.

I think Ferrari may have some influence on this. I.E Montezemolo at Le mans last week ect.

Am I right, that I heard the ACO have asked F1 for 'advice' on rule changing and improvements to the 24hrs?

With a bit of luck he was there with a view to bringing a factory Ferrari entry back in 2011.
The really good news was that Prodrive were turned down for F1, which means that the Aston name will not get dragged through the mud like Jaguar did.

That is good news! same with spyker, why did they not ever build an LMP1 car?

No more Gt1 class.
Makes room for something else.

The whole dumb F1 circus seems to have a magic hold on car makers, never understood it myself.
