Yeah, I've seen a few of the adverts about the programme that Fox has had on & taken the highlighter to the Fox dogalog for March. Sounds like it could have the makings of a good bit of footage...More about Building,Testing,The Team etc etc..... Also read a couple days ago where Jason Bright has been tetsing for Aston Martin with a view to maybe flinging the machine around Le Mans a few times...:)

I'll do what I can to get all the episodes on DVD. Let me know if you want a copy. Chriso, should I put you on the list??

[Chriso]

I always thought they were locked. Bonus, yes please mate :)

Martin, I'm really looking forward to this, but being pedantic noticed the 9th March was a Thursday. So, is it Monday, 6th March or Thursday, 9th March ?

[Martin Thomas]

Doh... Road to Lemans, THURSDAY 9th March, 8:30...

Sorry 'bout that.:D

[jager]

Thanks Martin. Do you know which English team it is - Aston Martin perhaps, or Lister ?

[Dingo]

The team they are following is Creation Autosportif.

Hopefully it comes out on DVD at some stage, would be an interesting watch I think

Having received my Foxtel guide, it looks this is a review of the 2005 season based on the fact the third show to be seen at the end of March relates to the June testing weekend.

Show #1 – The Showdown begins (Magny Cours/Paul Ricard testing)

Show #2 – Spa 1000km testing & race

Show #3 – Two weeks before LeMans (LM testing weekend)
