Le Mans without a test day

As AUTOhebdo reveals to you in its columns this week, the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2010 will not offer a day of preparatory tests. As this year, the reduction in costs prevents the holding of these tests, which were notably missed by Audi in 2009. On the other hand, in addition to the Paul-Ricard tests (March 7-8), which will take place a month before the start of the Le Mans Series in the Var, the ACO plans to organize tests on a circuit with characteristics close to that of the 24 Hours. This year, the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans played this role at the end of April but only received eleven cars.

The 24 2010 Hours of Le Mans will take place on June 12 and 13.
