For anyone watching Airport Live on BBC2 in the UK, they’re showing how special items are carried on British Airways flights. One of the items of air freight shown is the #73 Corvette Racing car bound for Le Mans.

I’ll pause the Le Mans race to go and watch the first BTCC race on Sunday morning, it will still count as watching the whole 24 hours if I only use that tape delay to skip through the adverts.

Hoping the SRT Vipers win GTE Pro, or at least show well.

off to Le Mans tomorrow morning.
looking like it’s going to rain quite a bit, but if endured silverstone last year, i should be ok.

Lots of respect to Volkswagen AG for letting two of their brands […]

As I read in another forum, is that Mark Webber driving? :P

To be honest, I was hoping they would go for a obvious reference to their road car designs, like the GT1 did.

But it does […]

Do they use that livery to ’camouflage’ their aero?

Imagine what a classic Martini livery would look like on that car…anybody good with photoshop?
