Scrutineering in the town centre from 09:00 - 13:00 on the Thursday followed by qualifying from 17:30 - 18:30, also on Thursday. Parade lap 10:00 Saturday with the race 10:15 to 11:15. Good to see Stirling Moss will be driving a C Type.

Good to see four drivers there who were in the "team" I went to the Classic with in 2002 - Neumark, Green, Griffiths and Williams.

Nah.... It seems as if the old bookmark I used got me into an area of the site which, although relating to 2005, hadn't been updated for a long while. Found the right place now......

FYI : during the two weeks, the teams will have more time to set-up the cars than before... on the Bugatti track ! They'll have, during the first week (after PQs), some half-days (mornings or afternoons) : wendesday, thursday, friday at least. I didn't succeed to understand if they'll be allowed to use the track for the week-end, in spite the fact that the circuit is open to the public on saturday/sunday.

More show than ever !

I'm hearing Robbie Kerr may join Cochet and Nakano in the number 13 Courage at Le Mans. Can anyone confirm?

I thought Bruce Jouanny was pretty much confirmed at Courage, alongside Cochet and Nakano? Or are Courage running two cars? I can't recall.

PBR pilots are confirmed on Infocourse.

And FYI, you've got a report of RFH tests at Zolder on PlanetLeMans.

Well, still only leaves one seat, and Autosport seemed quite sure that Jouanny would fill it.

Looking at what's going on at silverstone those beautiful aston martins will probably blow the entire opposition away and some prototypes as well, that is if they last the distance off course.

Agreed! I want the Astons to win but the C6 has already shown it has the pace. Even Kumpen's stint in the old 04 spec C5 was on the pace at Silverstone yesterday.

No. Fortunately there is no 'success' penalty in LMES/Le Mans under ACO rules. The teams race on equal terms. It is used in FIA GT in an attempt to manufacture equality between the entrants (, but you knew that!).

I think ballast is maybe a bad idea for LMES and Le Mans because the races are too infrequent - Only 5 LMES races per year, and they're spread pretty far apart, so lots of advances to the cars can be made in that time, so ballast wouldn't quite seem necessary. I have to say it seems to be working in FIA GT though...
