Yeah I think it's great for the race. More exciting than a dignitary or a president of a car company.

Here are the last few starters. Probably most frequently these coincide with announcements. Luca was just teasing us back in 2009 I think

2015 - Bill Ford, Ford
2014 - Fernando Alonso
2013 - Jim France, IMSA
2012 - Takeshi Uchiyamada, Toyota
2011 - Jean Todt, FIA
2010 - Jean-Claude Killy, Rolex
2009 - Luca di Montezemolo, Ferrari
2008 - Vladimir Titov (from space), Jean-Loup Chretien and Mark Brown, Astronauts
2007 - Roland du Luart, Sarthe Council
2006 - Jean-Martin Folz, PSA
2005 - Martin Winterkorn, Audi
