Lets have a game of "Where's Woolly"

......I was expecting to hear a bloke speaking very fast, and sounding a bit shaky, with car racing in the background..... 

 

Blimey.  I thought you'd been carted off in Felix's fish and chip van, never to be seen again!  Welcome back Gilles!

Can you let me know if you do this?  I want to make sure I'm there to see his arrival

12hrs Sebring, 12th Weekend of the year
24Hrs Le-Mans, 24th Weekend of the year.

Although, it was a week early last year. 

They usually announce shortly after the race, so I'm sure they'll be along soon!

In a way I'm glad that the camera missed that crash.  The aftermath was bad enough - the commentary on British Eurosport feared the worst.

Glad Duval is AOK - apparently Audi were going to change 70% of the components anyway, so the increase in workload wasn't as big as everyone might think - they should make Qually tomorrow pretty easily apparently.

Andy Zarse would swap his Mother for a multi bag of monster munch, so I think your chances are good. 

Everything has room for interpretation. 

You probably shouldn't worry about your girth.... You are unlikely to be alone in the "looks better in the dark" category.   

Chaps,

The ACO have apparently confirmed that England Vs Italy will be shown on the big screen after the concerts.

May I suggest the presence of a Club arnage flag, on a pole, to indicate a meeting point, and that we have this as the annual (and latterly lost) meet up this year?  Saves walking back to camp......

Please be sure to observe the rules of the Brethren Party:

- Come bearing beer, wine, spirits, offerings, but never empty handed.
- Please take photos, but if you choose to post them on Facebook, remember that we know where you live. 

Have a wonderful Brethren party.

It's too close to call IMO.  

Audi have their strengths - efficiency, knowledge, some speed but not the outright pace, reliability.

Toyota have really grown into the series - their car is extremely fast, and so far reliable - but 6 hours is different to 24 - if it stays together, I think they'll win.

Porsche were blindingly quick on certain corners at Silverstone and Spa - but reliability has to be their potential issue.  They're also not QUITE up to speed with the team side of pit stops etc - but I suspect this will be ironed out by the time we hit the big race.

Overall, I think any of the three manufacturers could win it - for me though, it's likely to be Toyota, Audi, Porsche based on previous races.

I love the fact that it's too close to call!

I quite like the Deltawing/Zeod etc.

Fortunately I have eyes....so there are no words to describe how ugly I think that road going version is.....

Honda and McLaren will have been working together for the best part of three years by the time a McLaren F1 car with a Honda engine turns a wheel.  The partnership will be well established by that point.  

I've also long believed that WEC offers a cunning workaround for a ban on testing in F1, now that the technologies are more closely aligned - there simply MUST be an opportunity to develop engine components and theories in a real racing environment, without restrictions, and arguably in a more demanding environment, which can then be applied to the F1 engines and cars - even if it's just real world testing instead of dynamo/wind tunnel, and even if the application of the learnings takes a year (until homologation is released).

I can see this having legs for McLaren, but I can see it having more legs for Ferrari - especially if there's a budget cap introduced - afterall - they need somewhere to launder the money from the road car business
 

We're going to some grotty B&B miles from anywhere, probably to get more wrecked than we've managed all weekend.... That's what usually happens anyway!

She's not going to be pleased when she sees you talking like that about her.  Anyway, I thought you normally brought her to Le Mans??
