vs346 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Jerome from Virages.net has just posted an interview with Sarrazin. Looks like he's concentrating on rallying next year.

So no Sarrazin in the Oreca R8.

I was surprised that Sarrazin could have been announced in the Audi, regarding his new career (going swell, BTW) ; bets are still possible for the third seat ; and let's not forget that nothing's official yet !

More news on Infocourse : "Audi Playstation Team Oreca" (official name) asked for only one car at LM, and they plan to be at the HTTT and at Spa only in the LMES, for now.

More to come on monday or tuesday, with the pilots' names.

I have a niggling doubt about Nic's contract with Creation for 2005.

Creation announced on December 16th last year that they had secured Nic's services for 2005.

Subsequently, and it was some time after, I read an interview in which he was asked about the Autosport article (December30th) "Minassian says no to Audi drive".

His reply "How can I say no if I have not been offered the drive. Of course I am committed to Creation Autosportif and have signed with them for the 2005 season, but if Audi want me for Le Mans 24 hours, well all I can say is, they have my number."

Sounds to me that his contract may just be for LMES. Should Creation be granted entry at Le Mans they would then need to negotiate a seperate contract for his services in June.

Interesting?

That's why I always used to name it Le Castelet (its real name).

Is "Paul Ricard" banned because alcohol ads are not allowed in France?

Possibly, but I don't think so : Ricard simply sold the track, or don't sponsors it any more (if it was not owner), and for quite a long time...

Ah, surprising ! They kept the Ricard's name ! It's mentions there that the Excelis bought the "Paul Ricard" track and "Le Castelet" Airfield...

It makes :
- Paul Ricard HTT track
- Le Castelet airfield (re-opened in 2001)

I made a mistake allright, thanks to give the info Bentley03, and sorry all to have been to positive
