[LM24] OK, So What Do We Talk About Between Last Year's Le Mans and Next Year's.....?

I've always used this one - since I was first on the net - don't be put off by the misleading url. It's well recognised - the pages are often cut and pasted into Ebay auctions - without the author's permission - Stefan, if I remember rightly.....

Interesting - now I look, the style of the individual entries looks very similar.....

Any ideas, prefer access on the internet but may buy the right book

Thanks

Two good sites with loads of information on Le Mans results as well as many other sportscar racing series are:

Racing Sports Cars at: http://www.racingsportscars.com/ and
World Sports Racing Prototypes: http://wsrp.ic.cz/

Looks very familiar - and still has the '02 and '03 Bentleys listed as LMP900's.

So, do we just

Or do you guys out there have any other clever ideas for keeping things alive in here during the 'close season'.......?

I'm not convinced that posters "drift away". We're still here! It's just that ten months until next year's LM means that, at present, nobody has finely-tuned plans - and that includes teams and drivers as well as posters.

I'm sure we're all constantly reviewing our photos of this year, watching DVDs and, for my part, re-living that under-canvas moment when the tent re-emerged for a weekend's camping.

Thanks folks, several potential sources there, I will try them all, much appreciated

Well, between this year and next year some works on the circuit espacially on the Hunaudieres for a new surface. I was on holiday and just coming back. No personal pics, so I invite you to see there http://www.lemans.maville.com/actu/a...90172_actu.Htm and there http://forums.motorlegend.com/vb/sho...=39042&page=34.

The old track needed some sprucing up along that stretch but with the current climate I am surprised they found the cash to do it, looks good but will have to wait 10 months to see it for real

I will have a Look on the first October Weekend when I will make a Visit to my Friends .

[nobster]

Just realised that already three months since last June's race went by, that means a quarter of a year has gone by waiting, time flies!

[GT6]

but the race is a week later so still over 9 months to go, but silverstone on sunday so will be there to ease the wait

Nice to see the imminent Le Mans 2011 dvd has spun out to some 235minutes of action rather than 90. Also available on Blu Ray this time around. Looking forward to having a watch next week.

[Aysedasi]

On order......

Same here. I imagine (as I will come to find out more and more) that this is a nice little step on the way back to next year's event. Same with the annual.

Incidentally if anyone has a '97 annual they would be willing to part with I will pay good money. Seems I have amassed a pretty big collection in little under a year.

I have one, but it's a sample from Tom K's Le Mans box, so no good in a collection (it's only a small cardboard box)
