2011 Le Mans 24 Hours Official Test ~ Circuit de La Sarthe

After an "economy gap" of a few years, the official Le Mans test day was back on the calendar in 2011, offering teams and spectators a rare opportunity to assess the performance of the new players in endurance racing this season. Not only was RML AD Group be there, to run the team's new HPD ARX-01d chassis around the remarkable 13.6 kilometre circuit, but works entries from Peugeot, Audi and Aston Martin went head-to-head for the very first time since their new cars were unveiled. Tickets purchased for the test can be carried over to the race weekend itself, in June, so check out the Le Mans website for details.
