lol they were always in LMP900/LMP1 already, they didnt change class. It is the chessboard car indeed, and the gearbox changing stuff was a marshal fuckup

i just counted, and of the 36 officially still in hte race, there are 3 LMP2. Must be a very reliable class
nah its caused by the class changes, all the LMP675 cars that stood a chance of success have been added to the LMP1 class, at the same time leavign the LMP2 class with only cars that lack budget, and those former LMP675 cars that became LMP1 stand very little chance also cos they're just slower than the big LMP1's, that used to be LMP 900. Well done ACO!

anyone notice how much Gran Turismo Advertisement there is at the race this year? there's atleast 2 cars I've seen and signs everywhere maybe it's more ready than we all thought or they really are some cheaky bastards with all their teasing. (And it DOESN'T say Prologue or any of that crap)

hmmm there's been Gran Turismo ads on the walls in the chicanes at least since 2002, possibly much longer already. I dont know if there were already cars featuring GT ads. Anyway lets jsut hope GT4 will b released soon, so that they can remove the bloody chicanes

I saw a sony car that had GT4 on the fenders and rear wing and a Playstation one that had the same thing and on the sides but the new signs say Gran Turismo 4 not just Gran Turismo (atleast some of them)
Thay're interviewing a driver that has GT4 on his suit right now.

Martin Short's suspension broke and threw his car into the wall at 150 destroying his entire car and beat his head into the side of the cockpit. There's still 8:30 hours left...
