Thanks Termie,
                      Nice pictures. That new Ferrari is dead sexy. Probably won't last the distance but pretty while it lasts

And quick to boot.  Nice one, I agree.

I'm VERY upset.

I've taken a real liking to that Audi. 

Although, I still think it looks better in black.

I think maybe I need a lay down.

You and me both, Brad.  But worry not, when you hear it, you'll hate it again!

How come AMR have gone backwards in the looks department, just as Audi advances?  What's with that (no need to answer, I know really that it's about money.)

If costs were the deciding factor then the rebellion Lola would not look so good, or at least 100 x better than the Aston (but if it does turn out fast, then I am prepared to accept and love it)

The Audi does look very mean, in a way the quiteness will only add to that air of menace.

Maybe that's it?  It just kind of whistles as it goes past - it's kind of exciting, in a stealth bomber kind of way.....

I saw the initial shakedown test video from Sebring.  It looks like as well as looking good, and sounding deathly silent, that it also goes like absolute stink! Cornering speed looked out of this world!  I guess this is confirmed by the laptimes - I think I remember Rick telling me that it had set a lap time just under 10 seconds per lap quicker than the fastest Peugeot over PQ?  At that rate, they'll be able to run for 12 hours, and take the rest of the race sat in the pit lane!!

Don't you mean "Not hear it"

I presume it's as quiet as it's predesessors?

It was alot closer than that, the top 4 cars, 3 audis and a pug all did 3.27's, so unless someone was sandbagging it could be a fairly evenly matched.

Quite so, old chap.  I stand corrected.

Thanks !

I planned to make a set that could be used for the guide, with a few pictures of every car (combined from Le Castellet and Le Mans).  Let me know which ones you need, and I'll send them through.

Might also make it to Spa on Thursday, so could make some more then.

Hi Deb, Dottore,

Right now I'm filling up the entry list using the pics which Dev sent me from the test day, Chris24 pictures from Sebring and I've also snatched a few from dottore

I'll let you know if I need more - expect the entry list in the CA wiki to be finished until the weekend
