Do we know yet if there will be BoP adjustments for Le Mans?

Gentlemen,

Racing safety has certainly made vast strides forward over the last 30 years. That was a pretty vicious hit and glad it looked worse than it turned out to be. There has got to be something better than old tires to line the barriers. Question for our knowledgable members. I own a CF helmet and the maker says that if it takes a serious blow it is compromised and should be replaced even if it looks fine. Will the tub of that car be rebuilt and used again or would it be scrapped?

And hey, if it is scrapped can we auction it off at Rally 11?!? Awesome living room display!!!!

Can't wait to make the trip to Le Mans... countdown has begun...

Me too! I'm not a GT owner and can't get on with all of your VIP stuff, but I'll be partying with the Le Mans Smurfs, which should be a blast!

At least once with the possibility of an additional adjustment after the LM test days.

I have a bottle of Chateau Margaux 1787 that says that it will be less. ;-))

Chip, all the manufacturers say the same thing.

I read a story about a guy that was taking a bottle of Chateau Margaux 1787 to an auction. He found the bottle behind a Paris cellar wall in 1985. He said that it had TH J on the bottle . It was believed to be that of Thomas Jefferson. He accidentally broke the bottle on the way to the auction said to be worth over $200,000. Once it broke someone dipped their finger into the puddle and said... looked like chocolate-brown goo and emitted an intense aroma not unlike that of stewed prunes. Hope his insurance paid off!
