Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Tomorrow the world's finest sports racers will hit the track for the practice session of the second 1000 km race of the season at Monza. For a variety of reasons, it promises to be the finest season to date. The exciting race in Barcelona showed that expectations were rightly high. All information on the Series can be found on our dedicated 2008 Le Mans Series page. We have been loyal followers of the LMS and will again be trackside at Monza to capture the action. Unfortunately we can not give the event our full attention as just 30 km north of the track some of the finest classic cars will gather for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. We have looked into cloning, but eventually ended up with an intricate schedule that allows us to cover both of these great events. So you can look out for two exciting event reports in the coming days.
Most of the attention in the pre-season and at the first Le Mans Series race was grabbed by the big battle between Audi and Peugeot. Somewhat in the limelight the world has been introduced to the Epsilon Euskadi ee1 Judd; the first Spanish built car to be raced at Le Mans. It is the culmination of a lengthy project, which includes a top single seater racing team and a motorsport university. The car itself was penned by a former Lola designer and the end result is quite startling from both an aesthetics and engineering point of view. Due to various new car problems the ee1 has not improved yet, but we expect it to be in better form at Monza this weekend and later in the year at Le Mans.
