1000 kms? I thought we were getting six or eight hours! Is the ACO losing its bottle?

I think a 1000 km race on the bugatti circuit will last for about 6 hours?!

Wasn't it always going to be 1000k or less. Afterall it is a pretty short circuit.

I'm feeling this hideous, inexorable pull. I vowed I'd save money, I vowed that I could last 12 months before I went to Le Mans again, and yet....!

I wonder what deals I can get on ferries in November....

Whitey, if I told you I still managed to swing a £85 return for this year's 24-hours....!

There are deals out there if you really dig hard.

Just picked this up from DSC, looks like there has been a bit of early interest in the race, looks like this little lot have already told the ACO that they will be attending:-

Racing for Holland Dome Judd with two cars
Audi Sport UK Audi R8
Lister Storm Racing
Nasamax
Taurus Sports Lola
Courage Competition
Durango
Prodrive
Saleen
Larbre Competition
Morgan
TVR

looks like there might be a top quality field...........

2 JML Panozes
1 Kondo Dome

1 Nasamax
1 Taurus
2 Factory Courage C60's

1 or 2 Dyson MG's
1 DBA Zytek
1 Courage C65

2 Prodrive Ferrari's
1 Luc Alphand Ferrari
2 Factory Corvettes
1 Xero Comp. Vette
1 Pagani
2 Nash Saleens
2 Konrad Saleens
1 Larbre Viper
1 Carsport/Force One Viper
2 JMB Ferrari 575's
1 Perspective Mosler (if it gets oked by aco)

2 JMB 360's
10 Porsches
2 Factory TVR's
1 factory Morgan
