Please note this is a race thread. If you have general chit chat please use one of the other two stickied threads as that is what they are there for. Thanks! The other threads are the lions share of a 1000 posts each and would be cumbersome as race threads. Any links missing and appropriate will, with help, be added I'm sure. 
L.P.

Yep, can I stress this one please. Assuming HORNDAWG doesn't mind, I'm going to close it for a few days - you can still see and use the useful links. All other Le Mans related issues should go into the existing threads.

Due to the arrival of a GT2 Test Day thread, I think I ought to now officially re-open HORNDAWG's Le Mans thread. I think it was always intended that this thread might encompass the Test Day as well (hence the title), so, unless HORNDAWG indicates otherwise, it is now here and available to post in.
Can I indicate again, that this isn';t intended to be a chit-chat type thread, Lord knows we have an abundance of those, both stickied and not in the forum right now. So please use this thread in the manner intended. Thanks Ayse

There appears to be coverage of the Test Day on ITV4 in the UK on the 7th and 8th June, a 35min programme (I assume the same show repeated both days).

Who's the 23 Creation? It has an american flag on the front........
Edit- Never mind, It's Autocon. The PLM spotters guide has me confused with the picture.

Same sponsor as the brown and orange car just on the blue Jean Richard iirc.

Ya, I guess a guy could get confused using the PLM spotters guide.
