Default Petit Le Mans

Creation Autosportif, the British LMP1 team have snatched pole position from Audi for the ten hour race tonight

Fingers crossed they manage to get a podium finish.

Coverage starts at 1630 on Motors TV.

Shisk, just a fan is all.

We were lucky enough to get a pit lane visit with them at Le Mans this year, and we go say hi to the guys when we see them in Spa etc.



Speedchills, who we use for beer and food at Le Mans are a partner of the team. so at Donington this year we also got to meet the drivers and the team owner the evening before the race.

I'm not quite in the position where I can buy/own an LMP racing team yet.

Well if you keep turning down business from geeks who like technology rather than being realistic, what do you expect

I fear your budget was somewhat different to my costing structure

The SpeedTV pictures are crap.

The Hindy commentary is good though.
