    One of the best and frankly the only great race left on the planet. I cannot wait for this event. It is so much fun to attend and watch at home or at the track!

    Good luck Napolis!

    We're back out. Someone hit us in front giving us a flat and learned what happens when a low downforce car hits a high downforce car. We got a flat but no other damage at all but they flipped and were destroyed. We checked alignment and continued back out.

    We have to remake all our shocks due to the KERS adding rear weight and our new suspension and new tires have much more mechanical grip which will take till next week. We haven't fired up KERS yet but will on Monday. Development engine is MUCH stronger we've re engineered everything but the block. We'll have more VMAX even with more downforce. BY the race next weekend we'll should be running pretty well. This thing is Monster. We worked all night in Torino rebuilding new shock towers as we're jumping twice as far as last year on the fugleplatz and broke both yesterday. The midnight express drove through the night and we had the parts at 8 am.

    Obviously no entry list released yet, but is it reasonable to assume that anybody at the test is planning to run in the 24h?

    Usually yes but you won't know unlit the 24. There will be an interesting mix of cars including a lot of Factory entries.
