Sorry, not concerned !

But I haven't got heard of any telly coverage...

I just received a mail today that you could order a modem or wifi package at location fot the November race. Prices are 100 euros for the modem package and 75 for the wireless network package. No info on coverage, max data, extra feature (real time race info/webcams/..) etc.

Orders have to be in before october 22!? :confused:

/s.

At least you have a warm bed

We reserved a place on the camping ground and will come with a big tent

I predict that there will be LOTS of accidents and spin-offs in 5C to 10C temperatures during the race time.....

I went to the Indy 500 about 10 years ago when the air temp was about 10C...it was next to impossible for the teams to get their tires up to proper operating temperatures, and thus, they had no grip...the pole sitter spun out of the race on the Pace Lap and even legends like Mario Andretti were into the wall by the end of the day....

LOTS of mangled hardware left the Brickyard that day....

I hope the LM-1000K does not have the same type of day for the race teams....

Karl Kling · 23 Oct 2003, 22:00 (Ref:761323)

Hopefully they are well insured...

Seriously speaking though, maybe softer tyre compounds can help a bit?

Tim Northcutt · 23 Oct 2003, 22:09 (Ref:761334)

The softer the better...but all of the weaving in the world as they try to warm them up will help some...but not necessarily enough to overcome the cooler air temperatures....they still ahve to get to a certain range to begin to get the proper grip...

Sorry to break the news but there will be no live TV coverage of the race here in the UK - I checked the monthly Cable TV gudies when I was in town this morning and there is nothing listed on either Eurosport or Sky, havn't checked Motor's TV yet, that might be our only hope...........

EliseGT1 · 25 Oct 2003, 15:31 (Ref:762758)

btw: There's some news about Jan Lammers' sponsor concept on http://www.vandijkonline.net. Picture gives a sneak preview of the 2004 Dome with larger sponsor blocks. Now you can choose your preferred block by picking the corresponding number. Maybe RfH will take this car to the LMES 1000kms in November to let us choose already...but where are my 2500 Euro's?

B.t.w. take a look at vandijk's guestbook: Jan Lammers himself added an entry !

Well thats what I expected to hear really - don't worry I know a certain website that will be covering the race the best they can......

Karl Kling · 25 Oct 2003, 17:59 (Ref:762888)

How about Radio Le Mans? Will they broadcast?

Sadly no

Karl Kling · 25 Oct 2003, 18:37 (Ref:762911)

Oh, no! It seems my chances of going to Le Mans are getting smaller (lack of money as usual, Sweden's way too far from the action...) so i was hoping for at least some radio coverage but this sucks!

Fab · 26 Oct 2003, 09:13 (Ref:763391)

Sorry for those who gnna miss that one : full report and pics on saturday evening, when I'll be back from LM, and then more on sunday evening. Maybe Ayse would like to post some on his own site (as have none)...

If you like Fab you can put some on my site too - I am going to try and cover the race the best I can from here at home, just not sure how I am going to do it yet...........

That's a deal Rob, I'll post different pics for Ayse and you, you'll be able to chose which ones you wanna pos on your site... but due to the low web-flow on my personnal computer, don't be too harsh if I don't sent you a lot on saturday evening... don't forget to send me your e-mail by pm !

Ofcourse softer compounds will help, but tyre manufacturers don't make compounds for these conditions. Think this is the only race where they can expect temperatures of around 5 degrees celsius.

Hi guys,

I'm back after a few months without posting.

And I'm ready for the next weekend...
... Fab it's not true, we don't hear the Lister in the city centre !!!

But of course some teams are already here.

PS: if anyone want to sleep in a warm bed and not in a wet and frozen tent, I've got some good hotel plans...

EliseGT1 · 31 Oct 2003, 16:20 (Ref:769351)

Hi Gilles,

We'll be there next weekend... with a tent and a gas-heater. In case the weather is that awful, can we use your hotel plan as a backup?
