Disgraceful and insulting to the fans who paid/travelled to see the race. Pit walkabout on Friday...stop by to throw something unpleasant into their pit box please. Imagine if every team behaved like them, one lap to say the car has been to Le Mans and that's it. We'd have no race and it will damage the image/reputation of Le Mans.

Typical French... Has anyone seen an explanation of why Dyson did not get the nod because of the wing, yet L-F (who the entire season with non-spec) did?

Gt2 and p1 have some real quality teams. Jloc is actually a well funded team. They just decide to use lemans as a field trip for their wealthy club members. Japanese lamborghini owners club. They do everything on their own. I miss gt1 astons. Good sound and i liked how they ran in tandem. Its not so bad. Gt2 and p1 have some real quality teams. Jloc is actually a well funded team.

So any team entering will either have to convert theirs to a 2010-legal car or get a new one. In recent years JLOC did not get an automatic entry, this year they got it because they finished two 3 hour races and took the title. So based on previous attempts at Le Mans I can understand the remarks, based on Asian Le Mans Series results and regulations they deserve the entry.
