No, the R10s only came out for Le Mans this year (Kolles was too busy "running" Hispania in F1). As for R15s, there was one at Ricard... but three at Spa.

HORNDAWG · 6 Sep 2010, 15:54 (Ref:2755242)

Yes, my bad. I was thinking werks not Kolles. And it was 3 at Spa.

In 2008 both Peugeot and Audi invited most of their dealers and many customers, their support added to the event (especially Peugeot). As Mike suggests many had never been to a sportscar race before and dare I say even a motor race before, some of these may well have been "converted" to our passion.
These manufacturers should be congratulated not criticised.

Well, I'm all for a decent crowd - it adds to the atmosphere - and if the teams/manufacturers can help people to understand that there is life - and actually much better 'life' - beyond F1, that sounds like good news to me. All I need now is to find someone at Audi UK to give me a freebie.......

Or Peugeot?.........

Weather.com predicts rain most of the weekend up until raceday. Hopefully there will be some dry running before the race.

also to make a comparison-difference with 2010 F1 track-times

Victor_RO · 6 Sep 2010, 20:32 (Ref:2755397)

Pole position time difference was 12 seconds at Spa on a 105-second lap for F1 cars, and 14 seconds at the Hungaroring for a 78-second lap... since Silverstone is more of a fast circuit, I'd say... since the F1 pole lap was 1:29, I'm expecting LMP1 times(at least for the Pug and Audi) to be somewhere in the region of 1:41-1:45. F1 laps were lengthened by 9-10 seconds, LMP1s should feel a similar effect, and the pole time at the '09 1000k was a 1:32.

12:45|15:30 — Eurosport 2
16:45|18:00 — Eurosport

...but, it´s not the first time that they announce covering the middle and race, at Eurosport 2, and then... zero! Can someone explain me with they have different schedules for different countries? The main eurosport chanel is in Portuguese language, but channel 2 in the English version. Why isn't English Eurosport 2 showing the race... in England?

Acid09 · 7 Sep 2010, 15:09 (Ref:2755738)

German Eurosport 2 is scheduled to cover 2 1/2 hours mid-race....fingers crossed that it's true!

... it's hopeless to lookout for someone outside the Eurosport universe who gets an idea what they are thinking or have in mind...

I dont understand how Eurosport are showing more coverage of the British round in Germany and Portugal whilst in England we get the first hour of the race.

The LMS needs to go to on the net with a stream and RSL/RLM doing the commentary. Hindy would certainly bring it to a boil!!

Planet le mans is reporting that - as predicted - the Atlas Saleen won't take part in Silverstone round. They did have a second car with older GT1 specs, but apparently other teams (or a team

) rejected the idea to run that. No wonder why.

Let's see if they bother to show up at Petit.

The GT1 class in LMS has pretty much been run as an exhibition this year, so I think it is pretty poor that the "other" team didn't want them to run. Do they really care if the car isn't quite up to spec? It's not like they are in a championship hunt with them...

I disagree. It has run as a full class and is scored as such, it should run to the rules!

I guess Labre doesn't want to "risk" it, after all the heavily downgraded 2010-spec Saleen they're running at the moment perhaps couldn't survive against slightly "older spec" GT1

But yeah, it's a bit ludicrous...

I agree, rules are rules. But there is always wiggle room, like allowing petrol P1 machines larger restrictors mid season. The same thinking could be applied here with the "older" Saleen. I guess there is no worries about filling grids here, so the LMS could take or leave an extra GT1.

Could Labre be concerned about the ILMC title? that could explain why they didn't want a non-spec car competing with them.

rich07 · 7 Sep 2010, 22:23 (Ref:2755964)

I think Atlas should've been allowed to run with an older car-IF Larbre could do the same.

As much as I'd like to see some competition in GT1 I can see where Larbre are coming from.

**Bentley03** · 8 Sep 2010, 14:25 (Ref:2756193)

Weather forecast seems to be improving. Chance of rain on Friday, light rain Saturday, but Sunday is now looking fine and not too windy. Of course, that'll all change between now and the weekend!

**Aysedasi** · 8 Sep 2010, 17:12 (Ref:2756275)

I think I need to bring a little Le Mans weather spirit to this thread - 'rain, wot rain?' Rain in England in September, never heard such a thing!

Nick49 · 8 Sep 2010, 17:47 (Ref:2756297)

And who could forget the monsoon weather in 2005!
