Pre race parade
Just read in Dutch Octane magazine Porsche are restoring alot of old le mans cars to use in a big parade. They say it's going to have everything from Porsche 550 spyders till the gt1.
That's going to be a sight to behold. |

That sounds good will be interesting to see what paint schemes they will use remembering all the now not allowed advertising, perhaps the pink pig will be there

Obviously if the pink pig saw fit to run I'm fairly sure nobody's going to object too vigorously... |

With the 'cars of the decade' last year the Porsche 956 ran with Rothmans livery, so I don't see the problem in using contemporary alcohol or tabacco livery in the parade?

Looking forward to seeing the Martini Porsches in that parade.

Certainly something to look forward to. Maybe the Jules livery as that one won the second time I went to the race.

That would be awesome if it comes off.
It will have a real Porsche feel with the Carrera Cup race as support too. |

Can't see any reason why they should not be in the parade in original livery, would love to see that.

You can see stupid things with these over-protecting social laws.
Because of our famous law Evin of 1992, even the "Rothmans" stickers are hidden in the box of a Spark Die-cast model of a Porsche 962 ! So you have to stick them by yourself. As Spark is French conception, they had to think about it. But, given the Porsche prototypes are historic racing cars, I don't think that the organisers will be asked to hide alcohol/tobacco brands. Or I hope so. |

Not for me it didn't - quite the opposite in fact.

Anyway I liked it, but my ideal (albeit unrealistic) only rule I would have for Le Mans would be road legal. |

ACO set the rules, Porsche and Norbert Singer read them the best. Nothing stopped Toyota to follow the same route and have a streetlegal Group C monstre themselves.
Slightly reminds me of the following quote: "What was I supposed to do? Call him for cheating better than me in front of the others?!" from the following clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae6Lz_3jlo0 Although Porsche didn't cheat of course, they just stretched the rules a little bit. (as did Toyota in 1998 with their luggage space/fuel tank infringement.....) |
