I've seen Audi, and I think Porsche, test at Monza but I cannot recall it being an official WEC test. The Prologue is usually held at Paul Ricard HTTT.

This is the first time WEC history that Paul Ricard won't be hosting the prologue.

Thank God. Paul Ricard is the bad sort of modern Grade 1 circuit frankly.

Wasn't it owned by Bernie Ecclestone?

Too many variations and I don't know the track so I have no idea where they're gonna go. Also all those painted lines just look dated

Yep. Did he sell it?
I think there are something like 169 configurations. Imagine a game developer including that lot!

AMR and AF Corsa have also tested there

Exactly. I google the track to find a map to go along with the race and I have no idea what version they're using.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did. WeatherTech won't be running with the WEC next year unless the WEC move their US 2017 race to May as well, so all of us who attended won't be getting the thrill of 2 races in 1 day.
It may be the end of what is a great 3-day event for race fans. I'm curious of the WEC & IMSA, which ones do the Super Trofeo, Porsche Cup, & Continental Challenge support.

Right. But that's only some of the teams. Now we get to see everyone (with at least one car) run Monza. What I hope for is they run without the first chicane. That might be too much to ask, though.

I'm not seeing much Toyota in that. Oreca 05 yes but not Toyota.

I actually think the previous Ligier was the 2nd most beautiful modern LMP ever made (2000 and up). The only one topping that is the R15 TDI. Yes I know I have a severe case of loving ugly race cars.

The Esperante was decent looking but it was kinda overshadowed by the likes of the Mercedes CLK and McLaren.

A few Oreca staff doesn't mean they designed the car.
Not much variation in the lmp cars, if a manufacturer looks at the different solutions of others, they may copy another design because it works.I agree the original R15 looked cool, the R15+ and onward not so much.

Marino also dropped by Ford, not good as I was hoping it would be his big break but you can understand thier reasons why to an extent.
