... from the entry list in Le Mans, see www.planetlemans.com. Next on on the reserve list is the GPC Ferrari, but that's not confirmed yet by the ACO

Such a shame. They would surely have been one of the top runners. Werner, do you know much about GPC? Were they running in the Le Mans series last year? I see that they are entered in 2007 but never heard of them.

Never heard of them before, according to the ACO list they're from Italy and run a Ferrari 430GT.
Just googled for them:
- They have been on the reserve list for Le Mans 2005 too
- They ran in the 2004 FIA GT championship

GPC Sport have been around for quite a while running Ferrari 575's for a couple of years in GT1 and were the first team to win with the GT2 430Gt in Turkey last year.

The team runs in the 07 LMS with some pretty good drivers including J Mowlem.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

So they come with a bit of pedigree. They'll need it as GT2 is so competitive again. I'll be looking out for them on the Monza coverage on Sunday  :)

I heard that Thomas Enge is seriously inured from the crash at St Petersburg. I hope he gets better for driving the Aston with Herbert at le mans.

If you read this and this you can already tell that that won't be possible for him, they don't expect him racing before the end of this season.

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

Couldn't miss them could you?  Great job they did too.
