Op autosport.com vond ik volgend artikel over Le Mans 2007 waarin ACO enkele dingen bekend maakte.
Ik denk dat de meeste nieuwtjes er in hier al wel gepasseerd zijn.

Entry list to increase to 55 cars
The entry list for the 24 Hours of Le Mans is set to grow to 55 cars next year from the traditional 50, the organisers said today.
The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), owners of the historic French venue, announced a list of construction work planned in the coming months, ahead of the 2007 event.
The construction includes the dismantling of the current four modular pits, which will be replaced with a new area that includes nine extra refuelling pits.
ACO said this change will enable the line-up of the starting grid for the 24-hour race to grow from 50 to 55.
Other construction work includes extension and improvements to the competitors' paddock; extension of the gravel trap at the Tertre-Rouge Curve; and construction of the Welcome Centre in the Village area.
The 2007 race will take place on 16-17 June, with the official test day held two weeks before, on June 3rd.

Verder las ik ook nog het volgende op Autosport.com:
Quote:
Serge Saulnier has confirmed that he will leave Swiss Spirit to be Team Manager at Peugeot for its Le Mans return next year, as predicted by Autosport.
The French manufacturer is building up to a busy period for the project, as it prepares to take on Audi's R10 with a diesel-powered car of its own, the 908.
A scale model of the car is scheduled to be unveiled at the Paris Motorshow on September 28, before the V12 HDi engine has its first run on a test bed two days later.
Swiss Spirit is set to announce a replacement soon, and intends to compete in the Le Mans Series again next year.

Ik ben alvast benieuwd naar de look vh wapen van Peugeot om de strijd aan te gaan tegen de Audi R10 TDI. (Of zijn er al eerder foto's of tekeningen hier of daar uitgelekt? Ik heb alvast nog niks gezien.)
