Yannick Dalmas

The previous October, on the other side of the Atlantic, at the 1st Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in Georgia, a Porsche 911 GT198 had gone over backwards between turns 8 and 9.

It was driven by Yannick Dalmas, a three-time Le Mans winner.

In June 1999, for one week a year, the N138 south of Le Mans is closed to traffic and becomes part of the circuit.

And for most of its length, it runs between pine trees.

In the final hour, Toyota's last car was chasing the leading BMW when a puncture near Indianapolis ended the fight.

Ukyo Kadayama brought it home in second.

The winner was the BMW V12 LMR, an open cockpit car driven by Joachim Winkelhock, Pierluigi Martini and Yannick Dalmas.

For 2000, the ACO cut the overhang allowed on closed prototypes, and the FIA asked an expert group to look at rules that would stop cars taking off.

It'll be Pedro Cachero who will be driving the safety car.

Yannick Dalmas is here as well, whose job it is to drive the lead car.

Yannick told me a little story from Portimao last weekend where they had a problem with the safety car during one of the support races and did a clever little bit of overlapping in that in order to cure the problem on the safety car he was sent out in the lead car and effectively became the safety car for a few laps whilst they pitted the other Porsche did a recycle a reset and then sent it back out again

it's going to be what sister car did it went too early into the where it was going to the pit yes they went lap one yes

But Bruce Giovanni also didn't mention his single season in the British Touring Car Championship either in 2019 in an Audi S3 Saloon.

gleaning five points but he wasn't in the strongest car in fairness but those Le Mans that Le Mans success will certainly stand Blundell in good stead moving forward he finished first in 1992 in the Peugeot Talbot Sport 905 with Derek Warwick and Yannick Dalmas third position in class the following year in 1995 in the McLaren F1 GTR Was that a surprise PMAC to you that Conway is going to step away entirely from motor racing?

That's a good point I've been thinking a bit about it over the last few days you know because this has been talked about openly for quite a while now that Mike Conway was not going to be continuing with Toyota now what I didn't quite realize or appreciate was that it was because that was his choice to step away and I did think if he wasn't stepping away it would be strange to swap him out of the team but it's good that he's making that decision on his own terms and I think that's what every driver would want to do is when they decide that they've They've had enough.

That's it.

So you're going with Eric Bernard? Yeah.

You are going to kick yourself because I am Yannick Dalmas.

No! For fuck's

sake.

I'm guessing that's an entry fee situation.

I think it might be.

Eric Bernard did drive for LaRouche he was teammates in 1989 with Yannick Dalmas

oh what are your chances
