Are you sure on that? I doubt Dane will be letting him venture off to much, and while I like the Giz he's not quite up to Kevin's calibre,

SVG is fast in everything he's been in look at Daytona in the Porsche , you also need to remember that McLaren also have Senna and Parente in their factory list and a few others in the wings that are very quick.

Can we have a better picture? I feel like I only see half the objects.

Also, keep them in focus please!

It's called depth of field

Are you slowly building your own car like that Johnny Cash song?

 

[Panoz]

Some construction work is going on at Circuit de la Sarthe.

Pretty much everyone needs spare parts.

What are they doing exactly?

@Panoz new pit garages.

Yes, clearing the area to add the 4 new pit garages.

Also being added is a large gravel trap at the spot where Duval and Gene had their big accidents and a new public road that will go around the Indianapolis-Arnage section of the track.

 

[Furinkazen]

That's a low-slung Ferrari 488.

I was once part of a motorsport forum that had a quiz where fans would hoy up pics of little bits of race cars (could be a corner of a door or something) and we had to guess what it was. Looking at the top pic it looks like an Aston Martin Vantage.

Am I right?

 

[Northstar]

Shank and Scuderia Corsa will run Le Mans in '16.

They won't run that just says they have an invite they could decline to take part like they did this year.

Shank didn't get an invite last year, Wayne Taylor got it but couldn't get a deal with a European team in time.

Which again they have had an invite, till they are on the grid they aren't running at Le Mans as they can still pull out

Extra points for the race number and which race it's from.

Obviously. But Shank has been planning on going to Le Mans in '16 since June of this year so I feel much more confident in him making the trip compared to WTR.

Looks like the #97? No idea about the race.

Can I just ask, it is a model, right? You aren't part of a race team looking to run a Vantage.

 

[Diehardracer]

It says Chip Ganassi Racing will be doing Le Mans. So does this mean that BOTH Ford GT teams will be racing in the GTE-Pro class? So we could have the likes of Scott Pruet and Sage Karam in the USCC team and Andy Priaulx and possibly Oliver Pla and Stefan Mucke, if rumours are to be believed, in the WEC tean. Sounds great.

And with Corvette Racing also doing it with the usual drivers I can only see the US audience grow for Le Mans.

I bet my mum wished they were models when I asked her to house sit when they were being delievered.

Well, it is possible to have full 1:1 scale models without a working engine

I have a set of Pistons, rods, heads and cams as well....

Could you assemble them?

I think that's the idea? Need a block though..... Any ideas where to get one?

Machine it your self! As well as the spark plugs, valves, cam followers, timing belt, crankshaft, oil pump, oil sump, oil filter, piston rings, starter motor and a battery. Your almost there!
