Le Mans threat
FIA report could lead to cancellation of 24 Hours
by Joe Saward
The Automobile de l'Ouest, the organisers of the Le Mans 24 Hours, must decide in the next few days whether or not the classic French endurance race can go ahead as planned on June 15-16 following the publication of a report by the FIA that there are serious aerodynamic problems with the current sports cars and sports prototypes.
It goes on to talk about cars flipping, and two wind tunnel investigations - specifically says noyhing to do with 1999, possible measures to slow down cars - problem of spectators close by on pit straight.
Someone please tell me this is beat up by a journo - I get on a plane next week and don't fancy spending a week looking at chateaux!
Not panicking YET ....
