Default Le Mans!! This weekend!!!

Ok Who's watchin'

Audi at the LMP Front
MG (??!!??) on the LMP 675 pole
Saleen S7 (RINGER!) out front in GTS
Corvettes C5-Rs 2 seconds back (ouch!)
Callaway Corvette beating out a brace of 911s for the GT poll


Ok, Former Corvette owner here, so I'm rooting for everything GM (even the Caddys). Plus I hate, hate, hate the french and I know it pisses 'em off when America wins anything.


Go Vettes

Bentley, Bentley, BENTLY. GO BENTLEY!!!

I can hardly wait. It is going to be awesome. I'm also rooting for the Saleens (l love the design of that car - beautiful) and Cadillac, because they are trying really hard, and that effort should be supported.

Luckyly it hardly ever happens in motorsports!!

Ever heard of any american Rally driver, btw?

I was supposed to go, Jaguar invited us to go and see the old cars race (with Stirling Moss) on friday, but I couldn't, so my editor in chief went with a photographer...

or I'll just list things :

America / good :
- spirit of enterprise, possibility of going "from rags to riches"
- beautiful landscapes
- MIT
- weapons / army
- The North Face

Unfortunately, the people that don't get it probably never will unless they get the opportunity to visit and see first hand that America is only a small part of the world. The most culturally open-minded people I know are Europeans.
