You beat me to it - the ACO will not speed up LMP1 when they can spin something safety-related to justify reigning in LMP2 and try to save face. Everyone will know the real reason for it, but as long as the press release doesn't state it outright that will be enough to keep a semblance of Gallic pride.

Expect a large increase in restrictor size in 3, 2, 1 ...

Much reduced this year due to advertising hoardings!

Be warned- unless they are taken down overnight, half of Maggotts/Becketts viewing is gone

That would be an about face. Their previous words were they have no plans to alter the lmp2's performance. We'll see about that!

Is it just WEC at the Wing and everything else in the old pits as in previous years ?

I see it unfolding the same way "reliability updates" (that coincidentally significantly improve performance) are usually handled. Anything can be justified under the guise of safety; everybody will know the real reason, but as long as the ACO have something to point to to claim that it wasn't done primarily to slow the cars down, then the Emperor doesn't need to see his new clothes.

Have fun if you are attending. I will be missing in action this year as I am spending the weekend decorating the nursery for the arrival of Miss Jones number 2 in a couple of months time. But I will be listening via RLM.

I have not followed the news after the previous season was over. Have ACO, stupidly, slowed them down again?

They raised the front splitter by 15mm and the rear diffuser was cut back also. They also raised the sidepods and did away with the turning vanes that connected the chassis to the front wheel arches.

Apparently in P2 Dunlop did not bring their soft compound after integrity issues during testing and the teams are stuck with the harder compounds resulting in severe cold graining. Will be a race of tyre management more than anything in elms and wec if that's the case which will be interesting.

It doesnt seem to work on the website. on app it is working. Logging in on the website doesnt give timing aswell so it's probably just the website not working correctly.

this new live timing screen is really bad. I can only see up to 8 cars at a time, there is a lot of unused/wasted space there.
