JWA will finally race their V8 Vantage and have launched a new livery.

[Wouter Melissen]

Does anybody plan on going to the race? We will be there all three days.

So we can expect a usual in-depth image-documented feature ???

[Thumper]

Yes, should be there every day as well. Wouldn't want to miss this one!

Has the breakfast arrangement already been prepared?

[MPME]

No Mansell-Chamberlain Petit entry--AutoCon bought the car from Chamberlain and will run it themselves. Consider this a loosely-based LMS new post... ;-)

I wish I could go. I won a LMS contest last year for tickets, but asked for a review book instead. Thanks for your hard work.

Most certainly. It will be the first Le Mans Series race this year that I'll attend for three full days. Barcelona and Monza I only visited on Sunday due to conflicting schedules.

I do hope we will see Hugh back at Le Mans next year. I don't think he has missed a race in decades.

[Q TOY]

No chance of me getting down there. Far to busy a weekend.

I have just got Sky+ though, is there any coverage at all?

Motors TV should show the race and Eurosport, but not the entire race.

Not sure about the full TV broadcast schedule, but Radio Le Mans will cover everything on-line verbally, so you could always tune in to that.
