Under a bright blue sky the European endurance racing season kicked off at the Paul Ricard 'High Tech Test Track' with the now-traditional official Le Mans Series test weekend. With less than two weeks to go until the first of five races in the 2006 Le Mans Series the pressure was on the teams to show speed and reliability. For most it was the first opportunity to test the strength of their new or revised material against the competition and for others it was literally the first test. It was also the first chance for Ultimatecarpage.com snapper Wouter Melissen to catch up with the championship he is going to follow throughout the year. That's right; we will bring you detailed and well illustrated reports of every race of the Le Mans Series.
To get you up to date with the latest news and in the mood for the season ready to start next week in Turkey, we have drafted up a Season Preview. And to really get your blood boiling we added a 170 shot slideshow packed with all the Paul Ricard track and pit action, including the first pictures of the brand new cars including the Radical SR9, Courage LC70 and Creation CA06/H.
