That weekend clashes with an AutoX date....lol
What I will miss for the PLM weekend is the paddock walk, being I am taking only 1 day off to drive down I'll essentially just catch the race day....

Just read that RM, now all we need is Renault to return with the Alpine name , Mazda to confirm bringing the rotary back and I'm moving over permanently from 2014

I have wanted to go to Le Mans since about 2007, when I started following the race.
I am going to try to make an effort to go there for 2014 now that Porsche will be back.
Other manufacturers try to be the king, but the ace is back, it's the P-o-r-s-c-h-e.

Gotta wonder what that does to Audi program. But yeah, I think it'll be interesting since Toyota might be coming back also...
2014 will be a good year to try to go...

Gas-powered with flywheel KERS? I think I can get behind that.
I know there isn't a lot of room in LMP for aesthetics, but it would also be quite nice to see a good looking prototype for the first time in a while.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and the current crop of cars, fin and all, looks pretty good...aside from maybe Aston...
If its fast, it looks good...

Yet another Acura/HPD ARX-01 family member breaks cover--Level 5 will soon switch to the ARX-01g, a cost-capped evolution of the current ARX-01d.
Plans are to run it in the remaining ILMC events and the last two ALMS races this season.
Power to me is having the ability to make a change in a positive way. Don't dream it, be it.

might be the least embarassing option though.

Well yeah, and I certainly don't mind the look of the Lola Aston coupe, seeing I'll get to see it(and the ones in Muscle Milk livery) at PLM. But the whole Aston project thus far has been a embarrassing disaster...

The Lola Aston sounds fantastic in person.
I just wish it was as loud as the GT cars.

yes, the Kronos car was the highest finishing Aston Martin this year, and yes, it sounded much better than the GT cars, or the turboed LMP2s

At least they won't have to worry about the engines exploding after a relative handful of laps. If they AMR-One ran in the ALMS, the Cytosport Lola Aston would've wiped the floor with the AMR-One, especially with Lucas and Klaus in the Lola.
Mulsanne's Corner's Facebook page does state that Mike has info that suggests that the AMR-One's inline 6 in its current state is "fatally flawed" and that only a major redesign will save it. The car, conservative aero aside, seems to be fine if the engine is left out of the equation.
As I wrote on Ten-Tenths, the AMR-One was a bit too ambitious and was too much, too fast for Prodrive and AMR, as they've never built a LMP car or anything of the like in house by themselves before.
