Hi Icon,

Who knows: maybe there's a world-wide shortage of the older style BBS centres?! Not as strange as it sounds - even on the FF2000's we run at work we're struggling to source the old-style 4-spoke 'Revolution' rims in the correct sizes. I'm now annoyed that I didn't check the info on the car - it may have given a few more clues. Perhaps it's a 'bitsa' car put together and wheeled out for displays, etc? Mind you, for the 917 on show they had the power shown as something like 'from 580 to 1100 bhp'...which is kinda right, but also slightly misleading when the car is a regular 917K!

Every year at Le Mans I think: 'must take more photos', but it just doesn't happen. There's a few more that I didn't post - I might add them to the thread later; the Mazda does look rather good, for starters. Having the cars out on the track like this was a really good idea, and something that I hope will be repeated in future - the museum is okay, but being able to see them in their 'natural habitat' is even better. And you don't get to walk on-track every day, either...

Now looking forward to listening to the coverage I missed on the RLM website - I can't stay awake for the whole race!
