You don't win Le Mans - you outlast it.

Who was it that voted for Mercedes there ? I don't want to see Mr. N. Haugh at LM.  Grin
For me it's off course TVR. The Speed 12 is taken to bits in the factory and the project is officially abandonned. So, there is no chance we ever will see it at LM. However, they quite certainly will be there again next year with the Tuscan R.
Thinking twice, I also would like to see a Porsche prototype at LM again.

Definately want to see the Bentley back at Le Mans, fantastic car and we should all be proud of it. Being designed, built and run by a BRITISH team, who cares where the funding came from?

Second would be the TVR's, hopefully giving the Porsches a rattling.

Bring on anything British, the Lister would be great to see up there too.

Marky

The way I see it in the future........is!!!!

That the VAG Group will enter a team from each marque that they own.#

It goes like this

Audi

Bentley

Seat

Porsche

Lamborghini

Skoda

When they have completed the cycle.........they will start again Grin Smiley

When diesels are allowed to race at LM, I am sure that VAG will enter a car using this fuel.
But under what brand?
Seat or Skoda badged cars being entered might not be very far from becoming reality, although a possibility is a VW badged entrant.

I personally think they'll go back to Audi for their Diesel entry.

Rumours are that it'll be a VW using the V10 Diesel, oooohhh how it growls.

Not sure where it will be designed and built though...........

Isn't a shame that one manufactruer owns so many marques that have racing history.....wether it be circuit racing or rallying.

Time for the ACO to make rules allowing international car manufacturers only one marque to race at Le Mans.

Although this would seriously deplete the field across the board.

It would give a chance for all the small teams a chance to race without the ACO being over selective,because of entries being oversuscribed each year!!!!

In the 50's and early 60's you could entry a car and after negociate with an another team to give them this accreditation.

Did you imagine the possibility of a black market of accreditations ?

What about the VW Nardo , W12 . sounds great , its a sports car and owned by VAG.

Bit surprised no one has voted for MG , they are a british out fit with a British owner , and in 2002 were fairly quick .

VAG may race a SEAT , but i dont think they will try a SKODA . They are struggling in some markets to re-invent the marque with that UGLY badge.

I saw VW Diesel , not AUDI .  Shocked
