support support support
hey guys, well there is just over 11 hours until the great race begins, im surprised no-one has made a thread about who they will be supporting/tracking through the race, so i decided to make one myself.
I never ever thought i would say or do this, but despite hating the diesel's with a passion i will be supporting the Pescarolo Peugeot, Henri is one of my favourite sporting personalities of all time, the Pug looks the dog's nut's in Pesca's own colour's and quite frankly i would love nothing more than to see Henri's team win this year, a win for them is well overdue, ok so Aston Martin are in P1, i will be following them but Henri has my support this year. Also, I will be supporting and following Team Essex very closely in the race as well, for the reason i have a bet on with a member of this forum who is at the race this year. I wish i was at this year's race, but, being a student, taking my ARDS in a week and a half has left my financially void of everything but money. So, who is everyone supporting, following, rooting for, whatever this year? |

Gee, I thought that there were twenty or so threads of support at this point.
I am looking forward to a fascinating battle between the Audi R15 and Peugeot. I am actually rooting for the Audi. If a Peugeot wins the only one I will be pleased with is the Pesca car. Rooting for the Lizards in GT2. Don't see it happening, but, rooting all the same. |

Difficult to not support Pug in France... but as we drove a Vette on Daytona Beach last fall, my daugther is now a real "Corvette girl" with adequate T-shirt and cap, and will cheer the yellow one... I think I'll do the same !

Fab, good to see you back! Didn't know you were going to be in my little part of the world, would have bought you a beer!

Hi Robert ! We went to Orlando last November, then to KSC... a special reward for the kids as I wasn't much at home last two years... I planned to take some time there but we were more in a hurry than I expected, we had to visit friends in Georgia... I'd like to come back for Sebring one day : keep the beer in the fridge !

Awesome about KSC! The moon rockets rolled out of that
Vehicle Assembly Building and out to the pads, and put men on the moon. The place drips with history! |

Yep, same feeling as at... Le Mans ! And my daugther Cleo became a Vette fan beeing allowed to step in a white C6 on Daytona beach... that's why she was keen to wear her "Corvette girl" outfit at the TT meeting. She was litteraly cheering the official Corvette each time they were rolling along, and we've got one as a wallpaper now : she took the picture by herself, that gives more value to it ! Our two girls are now trained to spot each and every Corvette (C4, C5 or C6 at least, but even Stingrays !), and she was quite busy with it this year at the circuit...

I hope all ten-tenthers will have supported the speedy team after their great hospitality on friday afternoon, apart from them I was also hoping for a good showing from the astons.
