I have updated the schedule in the first post.

I will try to add more stuff into the first post, this is just a quick draft. All suggestions are welcome!

And yes I'll bring my camera with me. I will post pictures in this thread and on my flickr page, where you can already see some pictures from 2006 to 2008!

As asual and most likely for the next 4 years as well, right in the middle of my exams. This time I got one on Friday before the race and the next one the Friday after the race, so I'll be able to watch the race a bit more and also more relaxed.

Still no chance of actually going there tho :(

Not planning this year, sadly. Been there in 2008 and 2010. So to go with the rhythm I'm planning on going next year again.

Went in 2008 but won't be able to make it this year. Could have gone as I'll have just graduated college at that point and won't have anything to do, but my sister graduates high school the night before and I'll obviously need to be here for that. Looking like I'll be able to marshal the race in 2012, though, which would be fantastic!

This year though the race is already shaping up to be brilliant, obviously the diesel battle has very real potential, including the Oreca car. But Lola's just released updated bodywork for the Rebellions which should bring them up to speed, the AMR-One's actually have some potential to unlock, and Highcroft - if they can stay reliable - has an awfully fast car... Going to be a great race.

Anyway, the test day is being broadcast this year at www.radiolemans.com on Sunday. Not sure of the times but I think track action starts at 9AM CET.

Last I spoke to Marino, Highcroft weren't doing Le Mans? That may have changed because the teams plans have been scattered at best.

When did you last speak to Marino? As of March their only confirmed plans were for Sebring, Le Mans in the works, with maybe Petit. It would be a real shame if they couldn't make it to LM with that car, but I'm hopeful.

^ Looks quite a bit more streamlined than the standard Lola bodywork
