ACO rule changes for 2008

“…in order to close the gap between the performances of the LM P1 petrol-engined prototypes and those of the diesel-powered cars .... and endeavour to maintain a constant and visible level of suspense throughout the race, the following rule changes/technical adjustments have been introduced…”

Two technical adjustments will be made for the 2008 season:

The minimum weight of the LMP1 cars is fixed at 900 kgs.

The surface of the air restrictors fitted to petrol-engined cars will benefit from a 3% increase.

Just 3% eh, based on time to finish, distance covered etc, 5% would me more appropriate. THEN THERE WOULD BE A RACE.

To add speed, just add lightness.

I suspect it will not make too much difference to the end result.

No doubt Audi will have something in reserve, and Pug are still developing.

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

When life throws you lemons, bring out the tequila!!

Vodka! Cheaper than Botox and paralyses more muscles!
