It asks for a login so I cannot see it. I believe you though wink I've read many accounts on PH, Beermountain, Club Arnage, etc etc while researching for my trip to know that it will be a sight and sound I can't miss.

Fantastic news! Easily the most awesome noise I've ever heard at Le Mans. The V12 Aston and Corvettes will sound rather ordinary after this. As it's on the circuit at around 12:30 it looks like lunch for us will be deferred.

Heard the 3-r 757 in '09, can't wait to hear the 4-r 787B at idle in the town centre, or even rev!
