....and something called soccer impacted the 24 with a late start this year.

Personally I'm hoping for the 10th/11th foolishly signed up to do a half ironman competition on the w/e of the 17th, and surely a w/e at le mans would be great training! (Plus I will have to sell the tickets I've pre-ordered from JT)

Yes but no Tom, the clincher for me is the starred portion, "subject to the administrative authorisations" 

so does that mean, the date is agreed in principal only and can moved once has been agreed not in principle

I wonder how long the ferry companies take to wack up there prices for the weekend.

The dates are subject to confirmation, and can therefore change should a conflict arise.

5 extra pit garages, but will they still bung a box on the end for WR

Quote from Autosport:

"The entry list for the 24 Hours of Le Mans is set to grow to 55 cars next year from the traditional 50, the organisers said today."

It's only been 'traditional' since the new pits were opened in '91.  For many years before that, there were 55+ cars on the grid!!

Regarding the dates, although not set in concrete, I'm going for them and will book the ferries etc.  Good news for me - doesn't clash with my son's wedding on the 10th.

Yes but No but. 
Let's just say it's a definite "may be" .

I have to say, my mind was fairly well made up on the most likely dates after I couldn't get my first choice of either ferry crossing for the weekend of the 16/17th and that was 2 weeks ago.

Damned ferry companies!!!!

Great. So we have a fair chance to still be able to hear about 50 cars, the rest will be diesels

Sous réserve de confirmation de dates des fédérations de tutelle

As said above, yes, maybe, probably but lots of water under lots of bridges first    Chill boys it's still only September

Club Motorsport are of the same opinion, just had an email about it:

"Clubmotorsport Le Mans 2007 - A.C.O. announce provisional dates.
 
The Race Authority have now announced provision dates as follows:
 
2007 Le Mans 24 hour - 16/17 June
 
French Moto GP, Le Mans - 30th May"

This is direct from their email to me.

Only, I am not sure why these nice people have told me...

I suppose the ACO need a fortnight or so to get up all the bits of dropped Motorcycles and allow for practice sessions too.

I also had a mail from Club Motorsport but have never had any contact with them... perhaps this company is one of the trawlers of email addresses from the site!!
