There's been some epic races in F1 - Spain and Monaco spring to mind but then the ACO don't do gimmicks.

Yep, good race. Some interesting rumours about new manufacturers joining in as well, coupled with the fact the series becomes a full FIA World Championship next year. Endurance racing seems to be on the up.

I think this is the biggest thing. Now with full FiA status, this will surely encourage more Manufacturers to join. What is also vitally important is the promotion of the sport - not much point in joining if the promotion is rubbish. This weekend has been a perfect example - the coverage hasn't been great, hopefully with the FiA backing, it won't clash with the great god of Motorsport.

Maybe the engine deals that Toyota, Nissan have are merely a 'toe in the water' - for full factory effort.

Not only do the ACO write the regs they also retain promotion rights which wasn't the case in the Group C era.

Bernie only killed championships when the presidents of the FIA had have happened to be his little b*tch. But Jean and Bernie don't toally see eye to eye, and for the sake of sports car racing that's a good thing. Besides, F1 has pulled away so much from its rivals now compared to the 80s that he will not see sports car racing as a threat anyway. Lets face it, sports car racing doesn't have casual fans like F1, its only for the hardcore really.

Oh, by the way, epic race. 13 second lead after 24 hours for the Audi....says it all.

Long enough to see the Mosley era........


I meant once he gained effective control of the commercial side of the sport by the way, before that era started is a very different story, trust me, I know that
