Binnie won't go for the update either, Chris Buncombe said they had good speed and handling without it, Horag on the contrary said it was an improvement....????

The new blue Pescy was testing at Le Mans on Monday

Sorry if this has already been covered.

Cannot wait for the weekend. I wish I was at Monza obviously but sitting in front of the TV and watching 20 odd hours of Motorsport will make up for it (a little)!!!

I love to see the 997's painted up, too many in ALMS so far are too plain. Love the Martinin like stripes on the James Watt car and the Perrier car looks beautiful!

I also really like Kruse's Pescarolo, although it needs more trimming colors. I love the shape of these cars.

HORNDAWG · 13 Apr 2007, 02:27 (Ref:1890124)

Yep, the JWA car has that Martini look of yore. I still think the Barazi-Epsilon car needs a big old Gulf emblem on the nose.I really like the Embassy black w/ white. But so far out of all in the gallery I like the Chad Panoz the most!

L.P.

I don't think that's the final paint scheme. I suspect they ran out of time for this race, but expect the full paint job next time out.

**Bentley03** · 13 Apr 2007, 09:20 (Ref:1890260)

Just over an hour before the cars hit the track for the first practice session!

No sign of live timing being available for the practice sessions however.........

The Real DMN · 13 Apr 2007, 10:08 (Ref:1890283)

Any Internet Radio links or anything?

I've found nothing so far, but keep an eye on the Official Le Mans Series Website.

vorsprung · 13 Apr 2007, 11:00 (Ref:1890316)

I found live timing via endurance info forums:

Charouz Lola currently fastest followed by both Peugeots.

Well done that man!!!!

**Bentley03** · 13 Apr 2007, 11:07 (Ref:1890321)

Very early days, but the Charouz Lola looks ominously quick for such a new car!

The Real DMN · 13 Apr 2007, 11:20 (Ref:1890331)

Does anyone know if RML brought the latest updates for their Lola?

vorsprung · 13 Apr 2007, 11:34 (Ref:1890342)

No. But after listening Erdos's interview on tuesday on Radio Le Mans I think they try to get the updates soon.

prototype · 13 Apr 2007, 12:23 (Ref:1890372)

Very early on it still looks like the Judd is the better engine compared to the AER.

I did not expect the Charouz Lola to be out front after practice.

This is very interesting.
Where did the #7 Pug get that speed in the last sector? Over 4 seconds faster than anyone else. Or is it just a timing glitch?

That whole thing seems a bit flawed.

here are cars where the "ideal" time is slower than their fastest time.

tux · 13 Apr 2007, 15:08 (Ref:1890499)

just to let you know. the 2nd pratice session is underway now

davemk7 · 13 Apr 2007, 15:35 (Ref:1890525)

found it, d'oh

charouz impressive in first practice, hopefully they (and others) can out run the pug's sunday

**Bentley03** · 13 Apr 2007, 17:11 (Ref:1890581)

Free Practice 1

Free Practice 2

Peugeot quickest by almost a second by the end of the first two practice sessions, but Charouz have definitely announced themselves as serious rivals to Pescarolo for 'best petrol'. The honours for that crown in LMP1 this year should be totally absorbing!

Does anyone know what happened to the Oreca Saleen which completed just 3 laps in Free Practice 2? They're not looking like serious challengers to the factory Corvettes and Aston Martins come June at the moment........

vorsprung · 13 Apr 2007, 17:19 (Ref:1890589)

A serious fire in the pitlane after refueling hose broke on LAA C5-R stopped the second practice session. Two crew members suffered burns and were taken to hospital. Pictures and details on DSC.

tux · 13 Apr 2007, 17:24 (Ref:1890596)

this is shocking news. my thoughts go to the mechanics involved and their familys. i wish them a speedy recovery

HORNDAWG · 13 Apr 2007, 17:35 (Ref:1890603)

Yes, lets pray for the well being of those injured!! That was a pretty bad looking situation.

L.P.

**Bentley03** · 13 Apr 2007, 17:38 (Ref:1890606)

Horrific and very sad........

Hopefully the mechanics and all others are okay.

I wonder if this might force the damaged car, if not the entire Luc Alphand team, to withdraw.
