Le Mans 24hr Crash Yesterday

[layne]

Sert ride pulls back on to the track in front of line of bikes and is not seen by Maco.

Sert rider did get the bike back to the pits but team later retired. Maco didn't. Both riders OK.

Ouch that looks nasty

I did catch a bit of it this morn but obviously missed that bit

[Sixth Gear]

Hey Colin it could have been worse! Ouch.

[deej]

what the hell was he doing pulling back onto track without looking to make sure its safe

In fairness to him he did check right at the start of the vid and did keep right over to the left onto the kerb

[TLS-Moose]

Talking of Le Mans ...... I was about to send you a text - whats the story with Pase One this year Didn't seem to be on the qualifying lists, nor even the entry list

[deej]

not running this year moose,very severe lack of sponsorship and all the dates clash with bsb so no decent riders available

did he not see 6 bikes coming out of a corner towards him before he rejoined on the racing line

Only true for WEC, bar Qatar if funds available. Ellison and Richards will be free from BSB contracts by then and would like to do it again.

All other events need to be self-funded.

So, we have only 9 events, 5 or 6 different classes in the pot at the moment. Quite a quiet year then.

Did Almaria test - part paid for by Hugh (part paid for by MCN MV photos )
Did Classic Bol last weekend and came 3rd - paid for by Hugh
TT - Superbike, Supersport and Superstock classes paid for by IOM
Ulster - possible but clashes with Spa
NW200 - TT warm-up
Spa 8hr Belgian domestic series - Hugh interested and others
Chimey or Imola 200's now being looked at - Hugh interested
Goodwood. If asked – doesn’t cost much
Cartegena Classic 6 hr - for Hugh or Others
and the Bol if a deal comes off with R1s or OWO1
