General Discussion / Re: Autosport guide
« on: June 07, 2007, 05:48:20 pm »
I just phoned the Autosport office at Haymarket publishing & spoke to a very helpful lass.
The guide will be out next week, the decision to do this was taken for two reasons:
1) People tend to travel out later these days.
2) It will allow them to include more info from the test day.
To the first I say: My arse they do!
To the second: Fair point. The ACO have made the test day pretty damn close to the event this year. It was similarly close last year & the supplement had no detail from the test day and was pretty inaccurate in a lot of respects. Seemed to me like it had been printed a good month in advance. So imho fair play to Haymarket if they are trying to improve.
We shall see.
Which brings me neatly to that last nugget of info: There are 'significant extra shipments to France' arranged. Usually available at the Radio Le Mans shop.
See you there
