ALMS Rnd 9: Petit Le Mans 29 Sep-1 Oct 2005
The Petit Le Mans Race Weekend is underway and there are cars on track as we speak. There has been a red flag as the #57 Aston and the #27 Horag Lista Lola have got together, in the words of Hindy on Globlecast the Aston looks a bit 2nd hand.

What was the final result of the first session - Did Zytek sit it out?

I'm looking forward to this weekend. There are number of interesting and exciting battles to look forward to in both qualifying and the race.

It sounds like the Horag Lista Lola has a hole in the tub and the Aston might not run again till Friday.

A hole in the tub probably cannot be fixed there....
Thus, they are probably done for the weekend....

Too bad, was looking forward to them being there and wanted to see what they could do against Intersport, which continues to stupify with speed. I really wish the Porsche could have been there, as I wanted to see how they would match up.
I hope Autocon makes it to the end and has a trouble free top six run at the end.

I think they are done. It will need to be fixed at Lola in England. Even if there was a spare chassis, it would need to be ready for a Judd installation, and need to be airlifted over VERY rapidly indeed. A shame, they were the apparent challengers to Intersport's throne.

I have just seen some pictures of the Aston, it a bit of a mess. As for the Zytek it is reported pm DSC that sprung an oil leak, and consequently a small pit fire before it could set a time.

I heard that the Zytek had an oil leak issue . The Aston is fixable . It was filling up with smoke when the accident happened and Kane was on the radio to the pits as it happened .
Expensive weekend for Horag !!!
