It is an old link Rob, but its the best we're going to get, I think.

**PascaLM** · 30 May 2005, 20:43 (Ref:1315077)

And now...THE WEATHER :. Forecast has changed in better now.
Saturday : cloudy few rains on north of France
Sunday : a bit cloudy

**Aysedasi** · 30 May 2005, 20:53 (Ref:1315093)

Much better news, Pascal.

I expect the forecast to be "uninterupted sunshine for the entire Le Mans week" shortly.......

**PascaLM** · 30 May 2005, 21:18 (Ref:1315125)

I confirm this is forecast for the Test day. Météo France gives forecast at seven days maxi.

Fab · 31 May 2005, 04:01 (Ref:1315304)

Pascal, I checked this morning on three websites (be careful, all poping like hell, use a pop-up protection) :
La Chaîne Météo (Weather Forecasts channel)
Les prévisions �* 14 jours (14 days forecasts)
Météo France (France Weather Forecasts)
and they all show weather conditions improving, with a sunny and dry sunday, maybe even quite warm...

And Pascal, I love your sig

Erm...

I think we must be happy they are able to bring 1 car at the start (due to €€€).

In the article are some interesting thinks:

Financial problems are over in the near future. Does this mean they have a new main sponsor for next season?
New car for next year. Therefore they are looking to cooperate with top level suppliers for tyres and engines.
Running the Dutch A1 Grandprix team.

Yesterday Lammers said in a TV programme they will almost certain race in LMES after Le Mans. Also working together with marketing company IMG for the A1 GP project (and Le Mans?).

They missed a lot of important news...
-*two* cars next year. The deal for the second is more or less closed.
-Jan is only talking about *building* a new car (expect a GTP)
-Final talks with an engine supplier (but co-op instead of lease). You would be amazed what brand... ;-)
-he will do rest of the LMES (well: very likely at least.)
-the car has been fitted a new suspension system. The car has no spings and dampers anymore. Will upload some images later tonight... the car is faster and tyre wear will be improved (longer stints with the Dunlops!).
-Live data from the car on the RfH.com website for the race (2/3000 users max)

Lots of things here !

- two cars next years : talking about pairs

- "building" a new car : no Dome anymore ? Could we expect a brand new Dutch GTP car ?
- engine : I'm already amazed... *drool**drool*
- LMES : the four races to come ? Whoohoohoo ! Zippity-doo-dah ! What a field ! Please Dyson, try to croos the Pond once !
- tyres : just good news indeed !
- live datas : why am I coming to the race ?

I'll miss that...

As Ayse signed it last year : "You bet I'm excited !"

Thanks for sharing Sander !

See you in three days now

**Bentley03** · 1 Jun 2005, 03:39 (Ref:1316370)

I like the sound of all this, Sander. Can't wait to hear the full details.

Is the new suspension system on the Dome in any way related to the new car?

Fab · 1 Jun 2005, 03:44 (Ref:1316372)

I'm going to open a "Test Day"' thread : please use it for the PQs week-end (reports, times, etc...).

Fab · 1 Jun 2005, 05:41 (Ref:1316409)

Thanks to Laurent on Infocourse, we've got an idea of the WR's new livery... much better than the whole yellow one, IMHO...

C° : Pascal Coquin/WR/Infocourse

Fab · 1 Jun 2005, 05:46 (Ref:1316412)

And you'll find more pics of the new Pilbeam on Infocourse, taken by Rick Wilson.

After a shakedown at Magny-Cours, the team seems satisfied with its new machine... Marc Rostan, Philippe Haezebrouck and Pierre Bruneau took the wheel, as they'll be all at LM this year.

Fab · 1 Jun 2005, 05:48 (Ref:1316414)

Jérôme Policand and Christopher Campbell willshare the Luc Alphand Adventure's Porsche with Luc Alphand, according to infocourse...

Don't miss the RfH full report on PlanetLeMans, including the movie of the press conference Pm : Frank, is it your work ? - see the Orange Dome rolling ! - and Sander's pics

Excellent stuff!

Hi All
Does anybody know if the Bar at Tertre Rouge is still standing ?
It was always good for a couple of swift Pints between practice sessions

Fab · 1 Jun 2005, 18:00 (Ref:1317167)

Last time I went there, it was open... Gilles could help, though...

vollpower · 1 Jun 2005, 18:13 (Ref:1317177)
