Thanks E46, are you going?

Manel Cerqueda Sr./Manel Cerqueda Jr./Lu�*s Pérez Sala/ Marcel Costa won the race last year and are favorites again this year. Note: Perez-Sala, ex-F1 driver. Also, the 2006 motorcycle winner of the Paris Dakar, Marc Coma, will make his car racing debut at the 24 Hours of Barcelona.

VIR is my home track. They will have a two 12 hour race there this fall. Part of testing the track & personal for longer events. Many of the track workers have been invited to many IMSA races to participate and learn how long events work.

Pays to buy a beer or two for the manager once in a while.

Wasn't there a 24 hour race at Magny Cours earlier this year? Part of Peugeot Festival or something, only 206s were driving IIRC. Motors TV showed highlights of it a while ago.
