The ACO, the organizer of the 24H of Le Mans, gets rid of the rule where if you retire on the Final Lap, you aren't classified - this rule has now been replaced by a penalty system.

I need some advice about travelling to Le Mans

If I decide to go in the future, I will take the TGV from Paris but am not sure what to do once I get there. Where could I stay and how much does it cost?

6 P1 cars, what a disaster

Rebellion gone, Audi gone and Kolles not exactly world beaters

Hopefully there's lots of rain and crashes and a P2 wins Le Mans :flag:

Michel Vaillant revient aux 24 Heures du Mans

Deux Vaillante-Rebellion LMP2 seront engagées dans la course les 17 et 18 juin 2017. Le 13e album de la série sortira le même mois.

Les éditions Graton, la société Motul et l’équipe suisse Rebellion Racing s’associent pour donner vie à Michel Vaillant aux 24 Heures du Mans 2017, qui se tiendront les 17 et 18 juin prochain, et durant tout le Championnat du Monde d’Endurance FIA WEC. Un hommage sera rendu au fameux pilote de bande dessinée, créé par Jean Graton, en 1957, en mettant l’équipe Vaillante Rebellion sur la ligne de départ à bord de deux "Vaillante" exclusives, Oreca 07 Gibson LMP2, designées pour l’occasion aux couleurs de la mythique écurie Vaillante. Mathias Beche et Nelson Piquet Jr porteront le numéro 13 ; Nicolas Prost, et Bruno Senna, quant à eux, afficheront le numéro 31. Chaque duo sera complété par un troisième pilote amateur.
Le choix du n°13 n’a pas été choisi au hasard puisqu’il fait notamment référence à l’album mythique de la saga BD "Le 13 est au départ" dans lequel Michel Vaillant portait ce numéro, mais aussi à la sortie du nouvel album : le 13e. Celui-ci, intitulé "Rébellion", est d’ailleurs attendu en librairie le 2 juin prochain.


A new comic album will be released, and because it will be the 60th birthday of Michel Vaillant, this will be celebrated by two Rebellion cars that will have the Michel Vaillant colours! It will be cars nr 13 and 31.

Cover looks absolutely great! This is from the 'new series' from this comic character.

My tickets are all booked and paid for. Now, the long wait for June. At least I have the 6 Hours of Silverstone soon(ish) to tide me over.

Just when you said that: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.ph ... ncial-risk

(tl;dr: no actual budget increase, savings elsewhere to get the 3rd car)

Looking at the speed traps, the P1H cars could have fun passing the P2 cars - the P2 cars a way faster down the straights.
