Le Mans Spotter Guide
had a few emails, so just to confirm. The guide will be online, no later than 5th June 2010....hopefully before. I will do a update of any significant changes after Scruitneering. Probably online Wednesday.
The Guide, as before will be on two sheets and set up for A3 and A4 printing. Will be available at www.spotterguides.com and www.andyblackmoredesign.com thanks all |

Thanks Andy, another essential piece of Le Mans equipment - like the CA Guide - things are rapidly falling into place!

You really know Le Mans is coming when you start hearing word about the CA Guide and Andy's Spotter Guide.
Gotta love this time of year, don't ya? |

Thanks Andy, a double-sided print out of your wonderful guide tucked safely in a plastic wallet has become a must-have. Thanks for all your efforts and I hope the low-lifes who have tried to pass it off as their own in the past are less of a problem this year.

Andy, am leaving on 6th to marshal once again out at poste 106, so thanks for allowing me the chance of printing and laminating the guides prior to leaving this year. Your work deserves the highest praise.

Supported by Ten-Tenths.com, the Nissan 370 24Heures du Mans Guide for 2010 is now online!
You can download the two page guide at http://www.spotterguides.com/le-mans-2010-guide. The guide is split over two pages due to the number of entries. It has been sized to print well at A3 ISO size, although you can print it smaller or larger ( I printed it at 30inches wide today and it holds up). I will be releasing Version 2 after Scruitneering with any significant changes, so if you are not leaving until later in the week, I suggest you come back to SpotterGuides.com later in the week. If you have enjoyed the guide, please consider a donation to the Miles to End Malaria Campaign, organised with Highcroft Racing and Malaria No More. More details on the above link. OK, off to bed. I have a flight to catch in 6 hrs to some place called France. See some of you there |

Thank you!! I have just printed these and am showing them to friends now. They are really impressed (as am I) at your attention to detail. Fantastic product and it will accompany me at all times next week. Thanks again.

Just one thing, Andy, for the Pegasus Racing team you have a rendering of the Courage in the guide, and the team is using a Norma only from Le Mans onwards. It's possible that the livery will stay the same, it's just the car shape that's wrong. (just a heads-up for the updated guide , and marvellous job all-around)

Wonderful job as usual Andy. Will wait for Version 2 since it will probably include also the Dunlop art competition livery by then.
Although... the official website always says June 11th. Are the teams allowed to re-paint/decorate the cars after scrutineering? I would guess the Livery would become public already during scrutineering. |

Thank you Andy! Fantastic piece of design work - 4 copies printed for our little group making the pilgrimage this year. They've all made a donation to the Miles Against Malaria campaign too (they just don't know it yet ). I'll be supporting Highcroft for the LMP2 win.

Andy's usual high quality shines through.
I just wish I was there this year... I'd like to thank him in person! |

Hey guys, I can't get Andy's guide to print the whole page. Every time I try to print it, I get about the first 2 cars.
Any help? |

Choose your paper size. Change orientation to landscape. Try to change all margins to zero and it should default to the lowest available settings available to maximize the area of the paper used. Select 'Fit to' in the scaling box and change it to 1 page by one page. Hit OK. Now click File and print preview to make sure it all fits on the page. If it does choose print and you should be good. Repeat for page 2. I'm sure there are many other ways, but I have found this the easiest. Good Luck. |

I right-clicked on each image then did 'Copy Image' and pasted them into a Word document (in landscape). This printed fine as a nice double-sided guide. However I think you need a decent printer - my home printer isn't great and I couldn't get a good result, but on my brother-in-law's, the cars came out beautifully! Good luck.

In addition to what is shown above, I suspect you might be trying to print from IE?
Save the image(s) then open them up in pretty much any graphics program or Photo viewer. Photoshop, Windows Paint and Fax, ACDSee, anything like that. When you print, select Landscape and look for the "scale to paper" (or words to that effect) option and hey presto, you should have full sized image. Scruitneering and the Paddock revealed quite a few new liveries and changes, I'm going to start on this tonight and see how quick I can get it done. One its done, I'll update the guide. Probbaly EOD Tuesday or some point Wednesday andy Last edited by andy_b; 7 Jun 2010 at 16:39. |
