ACO published the official prequals list

Check this URL :

In the news, you'll find the prequal official list (Ayse, it will help you to update your own list)

Surprise : the Ferrari is not in the reserve cars list !

Hi,

Prodrive withdrew their second entry (the one on the reserve list) to concentrate on the one entry whilst keeping up their support of their customer cars in the FIA-GT championships.
Shame though.

It will definitely be tough for the last Maranello !

And we only have Porsche as reserve cars now

Why not invite the Ascari as another reserve? BTW Its ridiculous that there are so many reserve Porsches, give us more frontrunners pleeeease!!!!

Oh I forgot, we don't get listened to these days...

More LMPs, less GTs - that's what I want to see.

And roofed cars, s'il vous plaƮt.

I'm agree with you indeed, Paul and Muzza, but the problem is there's not so much good candidates in the frontrunner' list that had the ACO, and even when there qualified, they withdraw !

I love to see wide battles between frontrunners, but the charm of Le Mans is to see equilibrated categories... for me, I'd love to have lots of different cars in GT categories (pity that the Callaway was not qualified, for exemple...).

And I bet on LMP 675 for the future : if the new rules keep them and allow them to have really competitive cars (as MG).

The MG's are really the most surprising... surprise we had for a long time... it's a real different approach of this race...

Pescarolo said last week hat it was more and more difficult to maintain the presence at Le Mans : to exepensive for just one race, and a junk championship interresting nobody (I mean nobody of the wide public and TV, the question is not to interrest the fans : they are already interrested...).

He was scared for the future : a real risk again to go back to 92', if ACO doesn't manage the whole thing (LM and the championship...). And Ferrari try to spoil the stuff, in having only one kind of engine ( a 3.5 atmo), as in 92'... really, it's not done, pales !

I'm not a big fan of a class containing all the same car, i.e. the GT3 Porsches. However, in the last two years the GT class battle has been by far the most interesting and closely fought. Mr. Babini being involved on both occasions.

The new picture of PQ is on ACO site : check (always the same adress !) :

http://www.lemans.org/

Nice view, isn't it ? But not too realistic : I think the side by side position under the Dunlop bridge is not possible any more (if the cars are really racing...).

Bentley is definitely the star of those years : already on the last year picture...

But the webcam is still broken!

Unless of course time is standing still in Le Mans, and it has been foggy for a fortnight. Nothing would surprise me.

The Webcam is of 'cause works are still in progress on the top of ACO building...

And I'd love that time could stand at Le Mans !

That's what I had assumed. I don't suppose it's a priority to get it fixed.

I don't suppose public is the priority of ACO either...
