You don't get a ticket as such, you just need to turn up and hopefully someone remembered to put your name on the list. You then get a wristband.

Not my kind of thing though. Its a little borish and stuffy.

Adrian Fernandez has just tweeted that he's heading to Monza today.

Doesn't say if he's with AM, but my guess is that he is.

Last minute testing?

Could be, I think it was Audi that ran there last year with the chicanes removed to give some decent straights.

But it does seem a long way to go for shakedown/final testing, Rebellion are at Snetterton today.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

That crossed my mind too.

Is it because it's A] out of the public's eye? B] similar conditions to Le Mans? C] Dave Richards has a villa close by?

Andy Meyrick & Darren Turner are also together somewhere as there's another tweet just posted about them playing table football together.

The plot thickens...

On Andy's tweets he has a running commentary about driving a motorhome from Spa to Manchester and the play off final result::)

And there's been a Aston road car doing laps round the ring with possibly a turbo charged engine. Extra reliability testing?
It may yet last longer than an hour.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Based on various tweets and other forums, it does appear that AMR have headed to Monza for a final shakedown. I guess it'll be straight to LM once it's done, providing the cars don't get heavily damaged of course!

Bon chance...

Personally I think they should take a book out of AC's book, in the good old days they'd have tested on the M1, though the M40 would have to do for Prodrive.
