Sadly, work dictated I couldn't go, dammit, but Dan Bathie went, and has a few images up on the lendurance facebook page. I love those tictac dots...
He has a couple of shots of the MS650 that wailed round as well...
Yummy.

Nice, Young Driver AMR will be present at the saturday morning support race with the DBR9 Too bad for the gentleman driver line-up but he GT1 should still be faster than any of the GTEs in the main race. Now that they don't have to follow any regulations anymore I'd wish they would let the cars go a little faster by allowing them to run with bigger restrictors and stuff, like pre-2007 (or at the very least, pre-2010)

I really, really hope some channel picks this race up. Motors, anyone, do us a favor! Not every one of us gets free time from work whenever they want and have budgets to head to Le Mans even if they wish to...

When can we expect an LM entry list for the Group C race?

I saw in Autosport a couple of weeks ago that Bob Berridge dropped the C11 at Donington in what was a shakedown for Le Mans. The bonnet is stoved in but difficult to see the damage which is obscured by the tyres.

Hopefully it will run as it is the car I most want to see having not witnessed these Group C's before.

Might see you at the track then, don't know yet what day I will be there, depends on when the historic F1 cars have the most track time.

Really looking forward to the support races. Should be pretty amazing on the first lap of the Aston Festival with all those V8s and V12s.

According to Autosport today, one of the Porsches in the Group C race might be driven by one D. Bell MBE esq.

Cool. Very cool...

I have an entry list from AMR for their jamboree. 3 DBR9s doth not a summer make, sadly.
I wish they'd got 6 of 'em. Where are they all???

3 GT1, 3 GT2, 6 GT3, 15 GT4, and an invitation Aston Martin Lagonda.

Still, 9 Aston V12s should not be sniffed at...

Aww, three DBR9s... that's even less than what Ratel had in his series last year. But that's still going to be the biggest amount of GT1 Astons running at de la Sarthe since 2008 24 Hours

Tim, could you give us a link to the entry list? And is that list final or just provisional...

Still going ahead. Not sure on timings or who the 'mystery' third driver is. My initial pick was Damon Hill who made a long-awaited return to racing last weekend. But it all seems to have gone quiet now.
