What I like about the Lemans reform, is the repave and alignment of the offtrack tarmac. And the kerbe doesnt look high at all. So it may not be much trouble. But still, yeah, should make things worse. I would just put it near the armco.

Asian le mans take over by aco and will likely begin the season in shanghai as a support to WEC. Today was chaotic, had one of those Sepang 4pm monsoons to spice things up.

Strakka are testing their Dome at Paul Ricard. Their testing programme has been really thorough, so if they aren't competitive right off the bat next year, it'll be farcical.

I don't mind it, then again when I look at anything after the Ligier, it's going to look nice.

I like how LMP2 has evolved into a serious class, with serious competition between all the manufactures. Dome, Honda, Ligier, I hope they will rape the DP's next year.

I think the car will look better with a livery on it.

Posted those earlier here: viewtopic.php?p=823640#p823640

They apparently are newly released photos, since original file dates are early December. Maybe photographer was busy with something else, not sure what other reason would make sense.

Oli Jarvis replacing Kristensen in 2015, Rene Rast in the 3rd car at Le Mans. Otherwise no changes at Audi.

Sports-car race team owner Scott Tucker facing racketeering indictment, sources say.

Good riddance. I hope.

Mulsanne Mike reporting stories that the Nissan GT-R LM will be front engined, have thinner tyres on the rear, and a narrower rear end than front.

my bet is that it's just one of those rumours. I can't believe in GT-R being front engined and having narrower rear tires

There was also a mention of alleged figures quite higher than 1000HP of total power, and the author himself disbelief it

I guess it won't take too long untill they do some testing where there will be people filming it and then we can have a better idea of what it really will be
