Good idea though.
Perhaps Bmw, Porsche, Corvette and Ferrari could put the money for the commercials. All of that did win some races in the last 5 or 6 years. This would be a very good promotion for them too.

I cant see Ferrari putting up any money for that commercial - beaten by a shopping car despite trying to ram it off the road - not the best publicity for the brand I suspect

Excellent pictures Laurent! Maybe I missed something but would you mind giving me a basic idea of what camera/lens and iso you used at night?

Again, thanks for sharing!

Looking at the pictures of McNish on the Podium, you'd think he'd won LeMans ! Perhaps he was just delighted to have had no competition from those pesky Peugoets!?

That has been said so many times, but his bad luck always returns .

McNish and Kristensen is like Ying and Yang. (Tom having luck, and Allan having none)

So you're a rookie then!

I bet you have some great memories. I will being watching the race on tv unfortunately. What makes matters even worse is that I will be in France for three weeks. The problem being that I cannot leave till July 3rd.

Life can be cruel at times.

I'm ashamed to say that I was unaware of the date. I guess I have no right to post here!

I have to check with the in-laws as we are visiting them. One things for sure, I will use my negotiating skills if need be. I do not want to miss the Classic too.

Thanks for the heads-up Mal.
