    I hope Puegot gets tangled up with the C cars...buncha babies. Nothing bad just so they cant win, I hate to see anyone wreck but that just destroyed the race for protoypes imo. Im anxious to see the Aston's, but is that a Lowes sponsor with the Gulf livery?!? Odd. The GT2 race will be the only good one it looks like. Hopefully the Jags will be able to finish and my boys at Robertson have a good showing.

    Adrian Fernandez' team had to end shop after the Laguna Seca round of the 2009 season but Adrian was able to get the Aston Team to ship the 2009 car for Sebring and Long Beach and therefore his sponsor, Lowes, will be on the car. Hopefully the car will be at Petit as well.

    David Richard's squad is building a new prototype for 2011 but he didn't want to build one for 2010 cause Prodrive sees no reason to make a prototype to win the "petrol" race against the diesels.


    Here is the new livery on the 2010 rules Pug 908.



    And here is a shot of what could have and SHOULD HAVE been.

    Audi R15 last week.





    Don't forget our friends at Radio Le Mans for Sebring. I'll make sure to listen to Hindy trackside.

    It said he wasn't badly hurt but that really doesn't do well for the team having to use a spare car now.

    Yeah, like I said earlier in the thread, that's my favorite car to watch. It's so ridiculous that it's awesome. I hope they get everything sorted out.

    Bad news.

    Autosport:

    Intersport to miss Sebring after crash

    By Matt Beer Wednesday, March 17th 2010, 11:23 GMT

    Jon Field crashes in Sebring testingIntersport has withdrawn its Lola from this weekend's Sebring 12 Hours following Jon Field's huge crash in testing on Monday.

    The team will continue to run its LMPC class entry, but will not attempt to prepare another LMP1 car for this weekend, instead focusing on returning for the next round of the American Le Mans Series in Long Beach next month.

    "First and foremost, we are relieved that Jon was able to walk away from the wreck without injury," said team manager Brian Alder.

    "It is a tribute to IMSA safety regulations and the construction of the Lola to see our driver walk away from such a horrific crash.

    "With Jon on the mend, we will channel our focus for the 12 Hour to the team's LMPC car. We will also be busy with our IMSA Lites entries. We're very confident and enthusiastic about the teams competitiveness in those programmes.

    "Jon and Clint Field will return to Long Beach with our LMP1 car in April. Not starting Sebring is disappointing and significant as it ends Jon's streak of 13 consecutive 12 Hours of Sebring starts."

    Intersport has traced the accident's cause to a problem in the right rear suspension, which sent the Lola off the road. It then rolled several times before coming to rest. Field was taken to hospital for precautionary checks, but released with a clean bill of health later that evening.
