Good news about the driver line up for RfH too.

Is there gonna be RLM for PQs on Sunday btw?
Don't forget the significant change is under the skin- 5-litre Judd V10 replacing the underpowered Peugeot V6 turbo- that ought to make a fair amount of difference....

There is an odd sqiggle down the nose. It looks OK. I think I liked the older one too. Still this one has a lot of blue.

I see the other one is having the final touches put on it back at base.

I agree!!!!!

Gorgeous Livery!!!!

The white as the base color really makes the two shades of blue with the green accent colors pop

I like it even better than last year's livery...and that one was hard to top...

The Pesca has undergone many changes...air box, a Judd GV5, rear bodywork & wing, etc....

Like night & day from last year to this.....no comparison, P...

Pesca will be in the hunt...count on it...

DIdn't we have a discussion in one of your "what are you thoughts" () threads about how good the GV5 really was and whether it was better than the GV4. I can't really remember if we decided yes or no, but do you think the GV5 is at least as capable as the GV4?
I'm just wondering also which engine's the other Judd teams are using?

Very capable...Judd built it off of the GV4 to create a package that would have more torque....

Thus I feel it provides many good attributes of the GV$ plus the added torque....which makes it a better option in my opinion...

There were some probs when the GV5 was used first by Lista Dorn in the Dallara chassis ( electronical and cooling) but after 3 races it was more than OK. Hope that Pesca won't encounter the gearbox-engine link problem that the C60 had with the GV4.

Pescarolo and Nasamax are using the GV5- I think everyone else (RFH and the Dallaras) is using the GV4

I thought you could use some pics there...

But first of all, Ouest France mentionned that Boullion, Belloc, Pompidou were very concerned about their commitement in the Epsilon team. Michel Lecomte (team owner) warned them that all was canceled yesterday evenong... Ayse sent me a sms while I was in the pitlane, and I immediately asked the ACO's staff, who said that all was OK, and that they had no news of a withdrawal.

I dashed to the team, and asked too : they confirmed that everything was allright, and that both of the cars were confirmed...

And now, the pics ! Starting with the Courages C 65...

A nice black beast (there's a lot of cars without stickers, letting think that there's a serious lack of sponsorship...)

Love the neon wheels on the #15 Dome! I hope RfH run the Monza LMES round. I think they need the practice seeing as they're only now installing the 2004 spec wing!

I was on the spot with Bernard... we met pilots and people involved in the teams...

Tom Kristensen, Dindo Cappelo, Stephane Ortelli, Thierry Perrier (nice and friendly guy) and Emmanuele Pirro were cheerful and optimistic for the race : Emmanuele said to me that it was open...

The cars are wonderful. But the hospitalities seem poor : no factory, lack of sponsorship... no stickers on a lot of cars...

I took 350 pics or so, but Bernard shot at least 1000 or 1500 photos ! Can't wait to see the result...

The Spinnaker Clandesteam, the Pescarolo Team, the WR team were not arrived yet when I left the circuit (4h30 pm).

More news : Dayrault and Lasserre are in for a wheel in one of the Epsilon cars...

What's the best way to follow PQ for non-LM visiters? Any suggestions (I have no access to DSC)? Is there live timing?

Not sure on either of those questions. Sadly you will not be getting any coverage from myself as I'm heading to Brands Hatch for the British Touring Cars. I dobut if you keep your eyes on here then you'll be kept up to date.
