Title: Boullion INJURED - OUT for Le Mans
Post by: tommy84 on June 02, 2006, 12:21:14 am
Pescarolo driver Jean-Christophe Boullion broke his wrist and is OUT for the race.
No spare driver named yet and I can't think of too many fast and consitant drivers with a french passport...
So the #1 car with Collard and Comas has one free seat to be taken.
I wonder who it will be and we're coming closer and closer to the race

If that goes this way, then I'll hurry to make my license tomorrow
Is oui, non, merci, de rien, bonjour, au revoir, xx bierres s'il vouz plait and voulez-vouz couchez avec moi enough to be considered at least a little bit french ;D
I really wonder who will take that spot
If it's a rookie he must do 10 laps on sunday
Who many years is the maximum since the last race to be considered as an experienced Le Mans driver?
Alesi raced in 1989 for Schuppan Takefuji
Dalmas, Ayari would be quite obvious
Some FFSA-GT racer?
Prost, Raphanel?
Le Patron himself?

Not quite, Loeb is in the second Pescarolo entry with Franck Montagny & Eric Helary.
It should be quite interesting to see how they stack up against the more conventional sportscar racers in the other car!!

Autosport is reporting that Bouchut has been dropped in favour of Minassian because he didn't cut the mustard on the test day. Apparently Christophe's best lap was around 3:40, when they're expecting race-pace to be 3:35.
