    Racecar engineering saying LMP1 for Ford :D

    not so sure on this now have seen it mentioned in a few forums but when i went to look for the source myself i could find no tweet, still be it P1/P2 or GTE its another manufacturer and things just keep getting better for endurance racing.

    Unbelievable. Hard to imagine a driver surviving an accident like that even 15 years ago.

    Duval is ok but hasn't been cleared by doctors to race so will be replaced by Marc Gene, Audi are rebuilding the #1 car tonight to run in qualifying tomorrow.

    Edit: no word on what caused the crash yet

    How he only had a few scrapes is beyond me, and they will be back on track tomorrow, very impressive.

    Duval has been ruled out of racing the weekend by the Doctors. Marc Gene will take his seat.

    Landed yesterday and I'm really looking forward to this weekend. It's always a great week of festivities so if there's any other boardsie's over here let me know and hopefully we can arrange a meet up at some point!

    Couple of pictures from yesterday of the LMP1 cars:
