    A photo from scrutineering. I read that when they finished with the corvettes (they were last) someone arranged for Born in the USA to be blasted through the loudspeakers.

    I love the C7, and like you, would really like to have a new Z06. But, they have priced themselves out of my realm of possibility. I'm just gonna have to be content with keeping my C4 on the road.
    I have my DVR set to record anything Le Mans this weekend. Hopefully they will give Team Corvette some airtime.

    Here's a thought. VW have both Audi and Porsche competing against each other this year. What if this is Audi's last year? With the roomer that Red Bull might to getting VW into F1, it could come with the Audi badge on it.:idea:

    I've been searching for good news (or even bad) about Duval's condition. For awhile they were saying he was alert and responsive, since then pretty much nothing. Lack of update seems a bit ominous.

    Meanwhile, Audi are building a replacement car using a replacement chassis and there's been talk of potentially calling up the reserve driver.

    Glad to know he's OK.

    In other news, there's a "slow zone" for this year?

    That slow zone idea makes sense to me.

    I agree. But as the guy stated near the end, there will probably be issues and reasons, good and bad, for tempers to flare. They need to police it well and I see potential for circumstances filled with unintended consequences.

    Even so, a good idea.

    Live timing and scoring here for anyone interested. They're a bit past the half way point in the first qualifying session at the moment.

    The idea is a good one. It is going to cause driver's many problems me thinks.
