I'm really not sure Brad Pitt needs to generate any publicity. There are tribes deep in the Amazon jungle that know who Brad Pitt is. And if he did want personal publicity, I don't think going to Le Mans would be at the top of anyone's list. The ACO are probably paying him. This is 100% more valuable for Le Mans in terms of publicity. If you look at how everyone effectively lost their minds over Patrick Dempsey in the last few years - imagine what it will be like with an actual A-list actor at the race. |

partially tongue in cheek, but his recent films have not done as well and if both he and le mans are winners who cares

It seems there is a link between Patron and Paul Mitchell:

oh yes forgot about the alcohol sponsor ban, and it appears that both companies are owned by the same group

Ferrari Challenge schedule (local French time):
http://static.pro.races.ferrari.com/...ans_v02_OK.pdf However ACO site, with probably more updated info says there are two separate 45min FP sessions on Thurs morning, going from 10AM and 11.30AM. But in any case, it adds up to total track time of 3 hours 15 minutes, little short of "Road to Le Mans" http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....&postcount=119 Both of these are of course more time than what Legends usually got, ie just single Q session + 45min race. Perhaps that is another reason why those often had less "exciting" racing or sth. Not that three support slots couldn't be accommodated to the schedule... As for TV of the Ferraris, Motors TV might or might not cover the race, live or delayed. Entry list TBA, just as for the LMP3/GT3 support |

Here's the pit allocation/implementation + support facilitation finally
http://www.24h-lemans.com/wpphpFichi...-mans-2016.pdf http://www.24h-lemans.com/wpphpFichi...-mans-2016.pdf Toyota gets first two spots, Algarve Pro the final (last of the four new garages) I think the fact that the LMP2 SMP Racing powered by AF Corse presented by SMP Racing brought to you by AF Corse supported by SMP Racing are in the midst of AF Corse armada and their other camouflaged satellite teams, tells which team is still really running those cars... no matter what the Russians may claim Interestingly AAI is not connected with the other GM cars. Factories splattered all around. They will have hard time this year with only two main garages each (even taking account that previously the third car was filling the third) Rebellion + TDS "coalition" next to each other. It speaks volume for Rebellion(+Oreca) to have their own area amongst the big teams next to the track on pitlane, whereas many other big teams don't have access there. ByKolles is the only LMP1 team without presence directly there Last edited by Deleted; 24 May 2016 at 13:24. |

I don't particularly understand why they have to start so early on Thursday considering the FP2 for the LMP3/GT3 support won't start until 2:30 PM
