PRELIMINARY PRACTICE FOR THE LE MANS 24 HOUR RACE

[Thom]

Yes, whatever goes wrong I hope they will make it to the chequered flag, that is by far the most important thing to achieve right now.

I don't want to paint it all black now but take a look at the GT-racing forum for the voice of some who are closer to the act. Although I was there being confident with all I saw and heared, it looks like I missed the shitty bits.

Well I left at 2 pm and had heard about the headgasket failure but did not want to mention it here
Anyway, they WILL qualify !





Won't they ?

I had to leave about 17:20. From about 16:30 they were going out but coming straight back in. Left at the second red flag of the day (not TVR related this time) to catch the train back to Paris. At least it looks like TVR will be there in June as this from the lemans.org web site

"although the TVR were the final two runners they will have learnt huge amounts and under the guidance from Hugh Chamberlain will retun in June better prepared to reward the loyal fans of the marque."

At least the weather turned out nice though.
