the diesels have been restricted this year - hopefully more close racing between petrols and diesels and maybe we might see pescarolo on the rostrum again :D

I just hope they don't use the shortened rear wings, they look really stupid

Rumours going of Charouz being powered by Audi, but I believe it's already posted in some thread.

Anyway, line-up from the LMP1 Lola-Aston Martin and the LMP2 Lola from Speedy Racing-Sebah:
LMP1 => Andrea Belicchi/Marcel Fässler/Nicolas Prost
LMP2 => Xavier Pompidou/Jonny Kane/Benjamin Leuenberger

They will :( Now with the economic downturn and all, this change has become even more idiotic. There would have been plenty of time to cancel it.

IMSA cancelled the rear wing for LMP2, they can choose old wings w/ ballast or new wings.

Gonna be crap season. Last season produced barely interesting races and now Audi gone and very little interest for Peugeot to be there... at least I'm not interested about privateer championship.

Hmm, Forix (where I copied the list from) have it down as a race. I'll change it for now but maybe they know something we don't

"Following some persistent rumours about a sixth race in 2009, the organisers are keen to confirm that the season will be made up of five races and two testing sessions. The official one will take place on the Paul Ricard circuit, on March, 8th and 9th, and a second one will be organised on the Bugattti racetrack, on April, 25th and 26th."

I know that, but they could've changed it to another race for some reason, and they haven't announced it publically. I believe it has happened before that calendar changes have been shown on Forix before everyone else knows

Anyone knows if Peugeot are giving away free tickets again for the Spa race? Last year you could order free tickets in Peugeot dealerships.

It's a shame they charge 35€ for the pitwalk again. You are forced through the pitlane from exit to entry like kettle. Not worth a single penny. They already did this at the Nurburgring where the price was 50€
In 2007 it was included in the general entry ticket which was sold at a resonable price of 20-30€ for the weekend - at least general admission is still cheap
