'F course we have the same view. It has been the strategy at Le Mans for decades, many top teams having one car to sacrifice. But, Mike, we must admit that an english tortoise is damn fast!!! Cook the rabbit, please we'll have a new recipe, soupe de lapin Ă* la mode tortue additionnĂ©e d'eau de Spa. I'll buy the Chantilly if needed…
PS: Seems he won't have any co-driver, so GTL only.

He shouldn't be surprised by an agressive strategy tho… I do remember in 2007 they made a clan against me, and only me, for the last round of the endurance championship. When French, I held grudges, being English now imagine my feelings about that! Cant wait…

So who are the "interesting" entrants? The 26R Mike was talking about, another coming from GB, two French ones including a Shapecraft, the wonderful Elva, the magnificent SLR and the amazing 356 plus another 356, the trouble maker TVR, a well known +4 SS, plus some 911s and "Bs".

Assuming there's no pun between Serf and Fox, or rabbit and tortoise, I can't get the point. Sorry. Just understood that one driver seems slightly faster than the other in the 356…

Serf= lowly labourer!

The slower driver is the engineering genius that makes the 356 madly quick...I leave my brain in the paddock and just pedal as fast I can!

The entry lists for all the grids are very impressive. I'm really looking forward to this event.

Merci Will for your explanation, I was miles away from that! Guess what! They have almost the same word in France generally referring to the middle age. Few years before our cars then!
I find very moving your homage to your dad. I made endurance with rather slow but paying co-drivers, as a former instructor I was focused on how to have them faster and more reliable. Sometimes it worked fine…

Guess your target is c 3'10"5/ 3'3'11"9 if the track is dry which is good for a small displacement car. You made a very fast 3'35" in the wet!
