The ACO has just announced on its website that Jean Todt is to be the starter of this year's race.
Am I alone in feeling a little uncomfortable about this rapprochement between the FIA and the ACO? |

Yes, that's obvious from the press release, but any involvement of the FIA in Le Mans is a matter of concern to me. Remember Jean-Marie Balestre? How long before it all goes wrong again? Worse still, what if Mr Ecclestone decides he wants a part of it? |

No, you're definitely not alone...... Having watched the Senna movie (or half of it), I now remember why I detested J-M Balestre..... |

I'm still hoping that Todt remembers the state of Le Mans when he ran the show at Peugeot Sport, and does everything possible to prevent sportscar racing from going into another nosedive like that.

Ecclestone is head man of the hedge fond which owns the F1 brand, ei. the Marketing branch of F1. Ecclestone therefor will have NOTHING to say at Le Mans, unless he somehow purchase power from ACO. Quote:
But Todt, i respect, and i really think and hope that he know the spirit of Le Mans, and wants to improve this. But this is not the subject of the Thread. Lets take it to the proper thread: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...23#post2890623 |
