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........... |
