Quick clip of the 2011-spec AM V8 Vantage GTE in testing at Navarra... from Sam Hancock's Twitter feed.

http://yfrog.com/af5tqz

Main thing to notice: hugely different engine note. Sounds like they've done the same thing to the engine that Spyker did between '07 and '08.

How does that work if it's entered in GTE-Am? Shouldn't it be a year-old car? Or did they get dispensation from the ACO due to the car not being... that... successful?

whats happening with the new LMP1??? all seems very quite on that front, which for me is a bit worrying see that sebring is only about 3 weeks away & they still need to get the car there

Given how so many testing details come out after the fact is anyone certain the car hasn't run yet?

There are so many old airfields round Prodrive, they can do 'runway' testing, and keep it quiet. Circuit testing, they'd be outed pretty fast!

'Quiet' probably being the operative word. I suspect there'll be no glorious soundtrack associated with this new engine.

I suppose that's why everyone is secretly praying that the Kronos Aston can make it's way to the race from LM reserve list.

If I'm honest, I wouldn't replace any of the selected entries with the Kronos Aston, but that's a discussion for a different thread. Moreover, whilst the Aston P1's have sounded better than anything else over the last few years, the 2009 Le Mans cars with the DI engines sounded even better than the they did/do without. If the Kronos car were fitted with the DI version of the engine, then maybe.

2.0 petrol V6 Turbos. Think 936 and A442. Both are pretty hushed up... Even a fire breathing 935 is pretty quiet.

Turbos eat noise.

I reckon they could 'systems check' on any one of half a dozen old runways within an hour of Banbury!

Sebring entry list updated => Mucke, Turner and Fernandez in the factory Aston. No Lucas Luhr in the Cytosport Lola-AM though.

It's also a shame that we've lost Tomas Enge from Aston's LMP program. Since he's the designated driver for the V8 Vantage on the GT reserve list, he can't be moved to the LMP1 team even if the car doesn't make it into the list.

It didnt seem to be Stefan Mücke's mind according what he told at the ACO meeting in Paris to detail Le Mans/ILMC entrylists

Didnt know that was the rule!

AMR still have Turner, Mucke, Fernandez and Primat named for this year. I'm sure we'll see Meyrick back also. I believe he's at AMR tomorrow.
