Le Mans Test Day Concludes Inconclusively
Le Mans Test Day Concludes Inconclusively
June 01 2008 10:29:31 PM ESTphoto - lemans.org
Weather and typical Day 1 'dialing in' prevents anyone drawing ANY indicators from these test times WITHOUT inside info. We await our 'Mars lander' call to see if there's news that can be shared....doubtful unless Nigel Stepney now works for Corvette [F1 / race fan humor].

Lap times / overall positions came in accordingly-

3:53.531 - 25 - 009 Aston Martin Racing DBR9
3:55.383 - 27 - 50 Larbre Competition Saleen S7R
3:55.520 - 28 - 64 Corvette Racing Corvette C6.R
3:55.877 - 29 - 63 Corvette Racing Corvette C6.R
3:58.817 - 30 - 007 Aston Martin Racing DBR9
4:00.633 - 31 - 72 Luc Alphand Corvette C6.R
4:01.021 - 33 - 59 Team Modena AM DBR9
4:01.065 - 34 - 53 Vitaphone Racing AM DBR9
4:03.404 - 37 - 55 IPB Spartak Racing Lamborghini
4:11.258 - 44 - 73 Luc Alphand Corvette C6.R

FYI #1: Vitaphone, a perennial Maserati team, is running an Aston for the 1st time....the Spartak AM. As 2007 FIA-GT champions, they got a Le Mans invite, but the MC12 is not legal per ACO rules. Expect them to pick up the pace.

FYI #2: Best GT1 lap in 2007 was 3:48.969 turned by AM during the race!

FYI #3: More pictures have been added to Richard Prince's [Le Mans Photo Album]
