Not that I'd be complaining in that case...

Victor_RO someone knew that was coming "any rookies in this years race" lol.
You know what? That actually was a very good question RoeDent. I didn't know there were that many.

I wonder why they have got the LMS numbers on the side of the car and not LM24 ones.

Tom.

nobster · 6 Jun 2011, 16:52 (Ref:2892289)

Jaap van Lagen has special dispensation from the Aco, he has proven he can handle this type of car. He is a Porsche supercup driver and former WTTC driver.

No, I like it, looks good from this side, the other side is completely different but also nice.

They ran red on white a few years ago too .

Not sure if this should go here or not but, here is a list of wi-fi hot spots in the track area. Although it is not listed don't forget McDonalds (the hamburger McDonalds) on the Circuit. Also looks like the local Harley Dealer has the magic electrons coming from their place too.

Locator: wi-fi hotspots Le Mans and vicinity: http://tinyurl.com/69lrgzd
For the tekkies among you, if you like you can change the code in the full url for a radius to search either a smaller or larger area by changing this part (radius=30.00) of the IP address to a figure that you want instead of what is listed i.e. radius =10.0.

Don't know about broadband wireless over there. Usually that is part of the cell phone program and must be subscribed to. I don't even know the name of the phone companies over there. Who'd of thunk that eh watt. Just tryin to help ya all.

There are no public spots in Le Mans . I've searched for this information. Last Friday, I went to the Town Hall. Some years ago there had a public spot just in the center. Now, no more. Only in some restaurants or in the hotels. On the circuit, the same. No wifi spot except The "Espace privilège club ACO" near the Dunlop.

The #75 Prospeed Porsche car looks incredible! Looking forward to seeing all that colour out on the track.

Somewhat hilarious to see how TINY Vanina Ickx is compared to a lot of the drivers.
