Porsche only needs Collard as a Works Driver in FIA GT and for the Enduros with Penske.
He has been driving for Pesca for the past 3 or 4 years. |

The ACO announced that they would be publishing the initial list of those they would invite at the end of February, with the final list to be published after the Le Mans Series test days at the end of March. |

I'm pretty sure Tafel will get a severe tick in their fingers, the ACO is never amused by this kind of leak....

Narain Karthikeyan is being reported as having talks with Arena about a drive , maybe in a Zytek ! Autosport mag .
I thought he was mentioned with the "indian" Courage project ? What are Arena's plans anyway ? |

I added 'Earle' to 'Sportscar' and made 'Zytek' in the piece on my site - but just my speculation, no real info. Others will have though Mariantic Last edited by mariantic; 1 Feb 2007 at 15:22. |

The deal mentioned was for an LC75 for the LMS and a LC70 for Le Mans to be partnered by Gounon , "if" i remember correctly . I want an entry to the catering and hospitality unit , whoever runs the thing !!! If im going to get the trots at Le Mans , I might as well have a good reason ... lol |

Carefull! That's verging on "Goodie" territory! Although a curry stall at LM could be a fantastic idea (if not very authentically French). |

Article on Endurance-Info tells us that WR won't be at Le Mans in 2007, choosing to take the year out to focus on getting the diester engine for 2008 right. Sad to see a Le Mans stalwart not there (although I don't think anyone would hold out much hope of them doing much this year) but probably sensible not to divide effort (they would have been running the old 4 cylinder petrol motor this year had they run) given their comparatively limited resources.
A doubly sad week for WR as the other half of the "WM" partnership, Michel Meunier, passed away last week - very nice tribute on Endurance-Info bringing back great memories of the Roger Dorchy era. |

Very sad for WR, but this way there is more room for competitive cars on the grid.

I'll be disappointed not to see WR lining up at 16h00. They are one of the teams that make it such an event.

I wonder if behind the scenes the ACO have encouraged the avoid the potential controversy of them being turned away

Despite the 'romance', LMP2 is too strong to allow such mobile chicanes to have any justification of playing in the big one..

Just read on DSC that Sebastien Loeb will not be driving for Pescarolo (or anyone else) at Le Mans this year.

Yes, Sebastien brought about good press, and was a draw... but I think Peugeot's presence and drivers more than makes up for that.
