    Did Spyker attended the official LMS tests at Paul Ricard this weekend? Spyker is not on the entry list for this, and I can't find anything about it.

      the "Provisional Entry List" http://www.circuitpaulricard.com/Use...S%20040310.pdf and no sign of Spyker..

      According to this Circuit Paul Ricard - Pilotage circuit F1, Auto, Moto et Karting

      Le Mans Series official tests.
      03/07/2010

      Like every year, the Le Mans Series presents the new season's competitors that are going to take part to the Le Mans 24 Hours and the European endurance races. More information: Le Mans Series.

      The results of sunday session will be available on Monday morning.


      After a six-month break, LMPs and GTs are back on track to unveil their new aero or livery or even a brand-new car! The official test sessions are always a kind of leap in the dark for the teams and a voyage of discovery for the spectators, who braved the cold weather. Ex-Formula One stars made race-fans' toes curl either as new comers, like Jean Alesi or Giancarlo Fisichella, or as regular competitors, like Olivier Panis. Nigel Mansell and his sons are back for the whole season.

      The official test days is a rehearsal before the eighthour race which will kick off the 2010 season on April 10 and 11.

      41 competitors are on the entry list for the official test days, including the Formula Le Mans cars.

      Tomorrow the test session will continue.

              [*] Planet Le Mans (Very good race forum, covering the LMS series and much more!)

              That is the ten-tenths forum with a Planetlemans layout...

              Planetlemans is actually something else, see?

                      SPYKER SQUADRON READY FOR 8 HOURS OF LE CASTELLET

                      - Brand new livery for Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2R
                      - First race weekend with new car configuration
                      - Coronel joins Dumbreck and Bleekemolen

                      Zeewolde, April 7, 2010 - Spyker Squadron will be back in the Le Mans Series for the sixth year in succession. The Dutch team will carry a brand new livery for the 2010 season, replacing the yellow and blue from recent years. Spyker will again compete in all five rounds of the Le Mans Series championship and in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.


                      Spyker Squadron Preview 2010 from Spyker Squadron on Vimeo.
                      In the Le Mans Series and at Le Mans Spyker Squadron will run in the black and red colors of new team partner Convers Group. Dutch watchmaker TW Steel and Arai Helmets have also joined Spyker Squadron as team suppliers for the 2010 season.

                      At the Paul Ricard HTTT circuit the number 85 Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2R will run in its new configuration for the first time. Conform technical regulations the engine capacity has been increased to 4.0 litres and the weight of the car is now 1245 kg. The car will also race on 2” wider rear wheels and in combination with the weight a larger air restrictor has been placed.



                      In France Tom Coronel will join Peter Dumbreck and Jeroen Bleekemolen. The cancellation of the FIA WTCC race in Mexico makes it possible for Spyker Squadron to run all three drivers in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The length of the race makes it an ideal rehearsal for the classic event in June.

                      Peter van Erp, Managing Director Spyker Squadron: "We will use the Friday sessions to get to grips with the new configuration of the car. We worked on the updates during the winter and that is why we did not take part in the official test session in March. I am happy to have all three drivers at Paul Ricard. This race gives us the opportunity to run them together before going to Le Mans and fine-tune the cooperation between them."

                      Jeroen Bleekemolen: "I am looking forward to the weekend. It is not easy to say where we stand at the moment because we didn't test, but the car really did well at the end of last season. The competition is extremely strong in GT2, so it won't be easy. I think we have a strong team though; drivers and the people working in the team. We will need a consistent performance and hopefully this will get us a good result in this long race."

                      Tom Coronel: "The competition has grown stronger, but we've never been afraid of competition. We have three strong drivers this year. Of course there are other teams with strong line-ups as well, but I think Spyker has one of the best line-ups in Europe at the moment. We will be the underdog again this year. Between the Feraris, Porsches and all the factory drivers our small Spyker brand is something exclusive and special. Let's make it a special season again!"

                      The first practice session of the Le Mans Series 8 Heures Du Castellet weekend is scheduled for Friday afternoon. The eight hour long race will start at 11:00 on Sunday morning. Eurosport will have live coverage of parts of the race in Europe.

                          Cool vid indeed. I like the new colours, pretty agressive
                          Let's hope this season is as good as the last one, or even better!
