All the rest is guesswork at this time. I hate to wait, but that's all we can do. At least Sebring is only a week away.

The front end does look different, and not just the wider fenders with holes. Diveplanes which I've never seen appear. Looks great and can't wait to see it in action.

Great find gwyllion, thanks! I missed Le Mans 2008 so can't wait to see this car run in anger. Poetic justice would be a finish higher than the Toyotas.

The Rebellion's is a more realistic target. I don't think they really feel they'll beat Toyota or Audi. Maybe they'll go good in qualifying though- Spa isn't far away.

There is an interesting article on the Pescarolo-Dome partnership in LMR #73. See http://www.vif-argent.fr/lmr73/#/38/
Claude Galopin and his team are giving Dome advise on improving reliability and access to certain components. |

Wasn't Toyota supposed to test there as well? If their last test is ongoing, it looks like it's just Paul Ricard.

Different articles tell different things. Some article said that Toyota would test at Paul Ricard and Aragon. According to other articles Toyota would do four tests at Paul Ricard before Spa.

That's what I read as well. Conflicting reports it seems. Navarra has a nice layout and an interesting few turns.

Navarra is a good choice for the roll out of the wide front edition, as Henri says, it's very technical and guarantees that the chassis is correct setup with the wide fronts.

Looks great, I wonder how fast they'll be at Spa.

Interesting that the Dome featured a new splitter with a shape of the outer edges show - how wonder- a strong similarity to the TS030 Hybrid
