I didn't bother to read all 152 posts, so sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I didn't see it on the last entry list.
Chalk up one 1997 Panoz GTR-1, entered by JML http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/roadracing/8396/ |

We can also expect a 0°C in the morning in case of anticyclone, but rain is more probable.
The track conditions will be difficult. Nice race in prospect ! |

But let's make it simple : 8h30 to 9h00 am on saturday morning at the Paddock Bar (behind the pits grandstands), a fine place to spot pilots, and a good coffee in the chilly morning... oh boy ! And we'll make it for three other moments : noon on saturday (place still to determine), sunday morning at paddock bar, and sunday noon (if not to close from the start, but we'll meet close from the track anyway !). |

Cool temperatures in the 50s F are murder on getting tire temps up....could be extremely difficult racing, even if it is dry....
Let's hope the afternoon is a warm one.... |

Last news : some teams are already on the track, according to Claude Foubert via SpiritOf...
At least Lister (they say we could hear the car in the center of Le Mans !) and Ferrari Scotland... Thanks to Jérôme Mugnier, we can see that the Lola Taurus was on the spot too... (I love this one ! ) Last edited by Fab; 15 Oct 2003 at 08:14. |
