Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,
This past weekend the Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track in the South of France hosted the annual official Le Mans Series test. As always there was plenty of new machinery out on track for the very first time. With its long 'Mistral' straight, it also offered the teams a rare opportunity to test their low-downforce setup in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. All eyes, including ours, were of course on the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, which covered its very first kilometers in public. Even though it clocked the fastest time around the track, it was followed very closely by the new Pescarolos and Lolas. Some of the cars were actually completed at the track; in particular the Gulf-livered LMP2 Zytek impressed everyone by setting the second fastest time in its class. Our photographers flew out to the French Mediterranean coast to capture all the news and action. All of these impressions have been compiled in our Le Mans Series 2007 Preview and an exclusive 150-shot slideshow.
The Paul Ricard test was also our first opportunity to see Porsche's new 997 GT3 RSR. Replacing one of the most successful GT racers ever, Zuffenhausen's latest did not disappoint and set the fastest time in the GT2 class. In addition to the Le Mans Series Preview we today also take a closer look at the new RSR. You can expect detailed features on all of the new racers in the following updates.
