Le Mans Test Day June 4th 2006

I reckon it's time for a dedicated Test Day thread!

Scrutineering is underway and the first pictures have been posted on Endurance-info.com.

Following the link above, how good does that Lambo look in plain black?

Nice to see the Acemco Saleen back. They have slightly changed the livery on the car.

Biggest pleasant surprise for me out of this lot is the WR - looks like a racing car (albeit an indiosyncratic one) and the colours all work well.

Nice to feel I can legitimately start to get excited about the whole 2006 Le Mans thing now.

Well, if you have some of the Aston 009 and pics of Ortelli, Lamy and Sarrazin (but especially Ortelli), feel free to share them with us. If you don't, no worries then.

Thanks for the offer anyway!

I so wish I were in LeMans this weekend!

you're right, it's black paint
IMHO, they should put on more green

oohhh!!!!, look at the zytek, look at it that is one sexy car why cant i be at lemans, now my dream list could be complete at last with this car.

zytek 06S
best mates with tom chilton
eva longoria as my wife
a big house
loads of money
audi R8
dome S101 judd RFH 2005

hopefully zytek will be quick in the testing and do well in the race but they should be fighting near the front especially after last years astonishing results and also the great result and spate of speed the car showed at spa in may so it should go well for them. and here is a piece of information from the zytek website.

at 10,000 RPM the new 4.0 V8 makes 700bhp in the zytek, bye bye pescarolo

Why is WR still using the one-piece bodywork?

WR have used a one-piece bodywork since 1993. Maybe for costs reasons. Unfortunetely, during the 1996 préqualifications, the WR driven by Sébastien Enjolras lost it between Arnage and the Porsche curves and caused the last tragic accident at Le Mans.

But isn't it expensive if there's some bodywork damage? Was the bodywork reason for this tragic?

As the whole bodywork flew away, the car suddenly lost all its downforce and took off.
