Interesting to see the different mentalities of the teams regarding test day and SuperGT clash.
You've got Toyota who make sure Kaz Nakajima is at Le Mans for the full build-up. You've got Audi who allow their guy Oliver Jarvis to race for not only a rival manufacturer but Toyota. Nissan are happy for Lucas Ordonez to stay in Japan and race GT300. No surprise James Rossiter will be at Autopolis. http://www.24h-lemans.com/wpphpFichi...-mans-2014.pdf A few other interesting additions to the list for Sunday. A second Millennium car - albeit with the same drivers. Dan Norris-Jones in the #41 Greaves car despite all three of its regular drivers being rookies. Alex Kapadia doing his laps with Murphy. Shinji Nakano and Alexander Matschul driving for Taisan. Pierre Ehret not there. Not sure if there's anything to read into that? In terms of ones we knew about, Laurens Vanthoor will still do his laps for Loeb Racing while Tommy Erdos will be in the Zeod. Duncan Cameron has an extra car with AF Corse. |

I really hope Audi,Porsche,Toyota can keep pace with each other. I would love to see the race won out on the track. As interesting as strategy can be. I prefer to see the drivers go to war..

As for Strakka and Dome, Japanese Samurai posted here http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....postcount=1675 that the delay for parts is a supplier issue and that caused them to miss LM |

...these last-minute entry-fillers, and reserves taker-uppers, is the collective wisdom that the drivers are as likely to be paid as pay? Any ideas? After all at this stage the teams need the drivers more, don't they?

Just listening back to MWM from last night.
Graham said he's not convinced we've seen the end of the entry issues yet. Still some doubts around Millennium apparently. |

Well it might not mean anything, but last night was the first night for quite a while that there were no Millenium guys in the village pub after work. Bizarely, although they are Millenium, they still all wear G-Drive clothing from last year ....

I guess given it's all come together relatively late for them, they're trying to bring two cars down, and they're not due to scrutineer until tomorrow morning there's still time, but this doesn't alter a vague sense of unease about what has been a more than usually troubled programme...
And as for the guys still wearing G-Drive branded kit? I suspect they've still seen a lot more cash from G-Drive in the last 12 months than they have (will have?) from Millennium? |

Well if nothing has arrived yet in Le Mans then they have lots of things to do if they will show up.

Confirmation it seems that Millennium will skip the test.
http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/mil...-journee-test/ Apparently doesn't effect anything for the race. Hmm we'll see. |
