We'd just be repeating the course of the 2009 event then.
Not that I'd be complaining in that case... EDIT: Too many darn artsy Porsches! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...d=150473290427 |

From the entry list I'm getting the following rookies/drivers who haven't been at Le Mans since 2008 or later:
Maxime Martin Lucas Ordonez Patrice Lafargue Andrea Barlesi Ben Collins Olivier Lombard Tom Kimber-Smith Fabien Rosier Phillipe Haezebrouck Jean-René De Fournoux Dominik Kraihamer Nicolas de Crem Joey Hand Anthony Beltoise François Jakubowski Pierre Thiriet Frédéric Makowiecki Oskar Slingerland Martin Rich John Hartshorne James Rossiter Rob Kaufmann Michael Waltrip Rui Aguas Tommy Milner Jaap van Lagen Nicolas Armindo Simon Dolan Chris Buncombe Nick Tandy Abdulaziz Al-Faisal Michele Rugolo Fabien Giroix Roald Goethe Michael Wainright Seán Paul Breslin Shaun Lynn Roger Willis Christian Ried David Robertson Andrea Robertson David Murry Christophe Bourret Pascal Gibon Spencer Pumpelly Jean-Marc Menahem Nicolas Marroc EDIT: Of those, only Jaap van Lagen has not done the 10 laps at the test day, he's racing under dispensation (or he's allowed to do his 10 laps in Wednesday practice). |

Victor_RO someone knew that was coming "any rookies in this years race" lol.
You know what? That actually was a very good question RoeDent. I didn't know there were that many. |

Jaap van Lagen has special dispensation from the Aco, he has proven he can handle this type of car. He is a Porsche supercup driver and former WTTC driver.

Wi-Fi Hot. Spots or Connected at the Circuit.
Not sure if this should go here or not but, here is a list of wi-fi hot spots in the track area. Although it is not listed don't forget McDonalds (the hamburger McDonalds) on the Circuit. Also looks like the local Harley Dealer has the magic electrons coming from their place too.
Locator: wi-fi hotspots Le Mans and vicinity: http://tinyurl.com/69lrgzd For the tekkies among you, if you like you can change the code in the full url for a radius to search either a smaller or larger area by changing this part (radius=30.00) of the IP address to a figure that you want instead of what is listed i.e. radius =10.0. Don't know about broadband wireless over there. Usually that is part of the cell phone program and must be subscribed to. I don't even know the name of the phone companies over there. Who'd of thunk that eh watt. Just tryin to help ya all. |

Somewhat hilarious to see how TINY Vanina Ickx is compared to a lot of the drivers. |
