I copied and pasted the link truckosaurus posted into a media player (I use Quicktime). Couldn't get it to work in my browser.

You would think that the largest race in the world and all the testing ect would be aired on one of the Sky channels. Instead of us scratching around for radio signalsfrown I have just scanned the sports channels and 90% of them are filled with st.

Couldn't agree more, that is why we have channels like Motors TV. But the ACO would rather give it to Eurosport who have to squeeze it in around all there other stuff. Their schedule looks ok for race weekend but I wonder what will happen if the Tennis or whatever doesn't run to time.

Anyway, morning test session done. Audi, Peugeot then Pescarolo but the track was still drying so maybe not absolutely representative. Hopefully it'l stay dry for this afternoon.

According to Radio LM, the weather is set to be fair for this afternoon, so i'm wondering whether that will change with Peugeot coming out on top.

Anyone else think Peugeot are trying a bit too hard - 6 ex F1 drivers out of a 9 driver team.

If it breaks AUDI's stronghold on LM before it becomes an inevitability before the race, then that can only be a good thing.

Didn't know Peugeot made planes as well! Very kind of the ACO to post this on U-tube, wouldnt it be great if they offered a live stream or did this more often!
Great advert for the strength of the tub though, only a broken toe, not bad at all.

ACO said:
Marc Gené was at the wheel of the #7 Peugeot 908 Hdi FAP when, at 2:51pm the race director announced that the prototype car of the Spanish driver (and current co-leader in the Le Mans Endurance Series) had an accident.

While approaching the Porsche curves on the 24 hours race track (13,650 km length) the Catalonian driver lost control over his car which spun and crashed heavily.
The Spanish champion was very lucky; after a visit to the medical centre inside the circuit, the doctors at Le Mans Hospital confirmed the initial diagnosis that he had sustained no injuries which would impede his participation in the upcoming 24 hours race on June 14th and 15th. Peugeot have not commented on the reasons that led to the accident.
