Well this sucks. Glad I managed to get to Le Mans last year, it won't quite be the same without Audi

EDIT: there's a standalone topic

Ligier testing both the 2017 P2 car as well as a few P3's

Finally some good WEC news

Honestly:
Congratulations! Very nice photo! And we will wait for photos from Bahrain!
Bring me some sand of course

Awesome job, photo is stunning!

Nice

How exactly did you take it? I see its panning, but I can never work out how to get the background blurry and the subject sharp.

Longer exposure (1/20 or 0.05 seconds in this case) with keeping the focus on the car. And then you hope that the car is not too blurry

Congratulations! I hope you had a great time at the track!

In other news: Robert Kubica to test for ByKolles. http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/bahrai ... es-racing/

I'm not expecting much from this test, but it's still good to see him out on the track.

Rookie test times

Looks at names, rookie test?

'Rookie' like the Rookie Orientation at Indy, i guess

Kubica apparently outpaced the regular ByKolles drivers. Still got it.

I think each LMP1 team had to select one and there are three rookies (Menezes, Derani and originally Giovinazzi from GP2 but he opted to skip, so apparently replaced by Chatin). Other than that it is a normal test.

...but still Yannick Dalmas, wtf?

"I'm here for the rookie test"
"But you won Le Mans four times!"
"Not in a hybrid, I didn't. Totally different."
"Some of your cars were the fastest eve-"
"HYBRID! WHERE'S MY NOVICE PLATE?"

Does Dalmas do some sort of auto journalism job? He tested both the Porsche and the Toyota.

(Yeah, cross posted from the F1 RDC, but watch the whole video - it's nice)

Oh please, Fernando and Mark are just into each other and they need to realise it's 2016 and no-one gives a damn if they just came out and made it public

Or, yeah, what you said.

Don't tease us like that - we're already losing Massa and Smedley, and Button and Ricciardo. F1 is running very short on bromance.

Porsche drop Lieb and Dumas...
