http://www.astonmartinracing.com/new...5-596bd3b5732d (dead link) Try this instead - http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...ocus-1275.html Aston Martin to run three cars at Le Mans 24 hours Gaydon, 21 May, 2009. Aston Martin Racing has recruited three new drivers to run a trio of Gulf-liveried LMP1 cars at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, which marks the 50th anniversary of Aston Martin’s first victory at La Sarthe in 1959. Joining the existing Aston Martin drivers, who are currently also competing in the Le Mans Series, will be Anthony Davidson (GB), Stuart Hall (GB) and Jos Verstappen (NL). The three LMP1 cars will be numbered 007, 008 and 009 and the exact configuration of the crews for the race, which takes place on June 13-14, will be announced at a later date.

Hmm, Sascha ran a 1:54.413 in the Navi Team Goh Spyder at HTTP last week, guess that puts them in the ball park. Hard to tell with weather differences and the amount of rubber down, compared to Quifels 1:43.355 at the LMS pre season test session.

So the Horst Felbermayrs has managed to get themselves into the second Imsa entry off the reserve list. This means that the Felbermayr entry will be a real spearhead with Lieb, Lietz and Henzler. Imsa has also put it's eggs in the original entry which will be Narac, Pilet and Long.
Together with the Flying Lizard, that is 3 strong Porsche entries. Those cars should be able to stay with the best Ferraris on pace. It should be a great race. Ferrari has the advantage in numbers, but it seems like Porsche are almost even when we count the fast entries. |

According to Sports-carracing.net, Team Goh tested with Audi. The chicane was set up in the middle of a mistral straight by the demand of Audi. Audi might have wanted to conceal the performance of R15. |

Jarvis has been very impressive in DTM. He did well in his rookie year last year, and at this year's opening round he was 3rd ahead of all the Mercs and other old Audis.
A very interesting driver, perhaps an option for Audi also in LMP in the future? |

Yes, DSC confirming JC-W & Vanina, with a yet-to-be named third driver. I haven't read the E-I piece yet, but the print edition of Autosport has a report of Jarvis looking for a Le Mans seat, and that Creation are in the frame- They also suggest he's being encouraged to look for some sportscar experience by Audi...
Autosport are also reporting Didier Andre for the third seat in the Signature Plus Courage, Marco Apicella in the JLOC Lambo, and Pierre Ehret joining Leo Mansell in the Modena GT2 Ferrari |

Here's a thought ..... How about Terada in one of those OAK Racing Pescarolo Mazda's ?
Big connections with Mazda , and always at Le mans . Whats the odd's on that happening then ? |

Negotiations would stall over his lack of hearing from last year's Terramos Courage.

So is the deadline tonight or tommorow night, as the wording is a little vague to me?

Ah thanks, that's clearly where Rob cut and pasted the list from....... Strange to find it there before it's published on the ACO's site.....

Really? I thought you'd know the ACO was as bad as any of the french bureaucratic institutions...taking ages doing things normal people do in an hour....
