It doesn't look as though he's planning a visit to Donington Park, having already raced there once this year.<BR> <BR> He admires the FIA Sportscar Championship because it is convivial and the spirit is good, but (it's difficult to get the exact meaning in translation) he indicates that the method of equalising the cars is not very motivating.<BR> <BR> He is concerned that the ELMS isn't furthering the image of Le Mans itself, but being a racer, he still wants to take on the Audis.<BR> <BR> His dreams for the future include: <BR> a single set of regulations for Prototypes<BR> a single Prototype championship headed by the FIA<BR> plus four or five long distance races (6, 12 or 24hrs) each year, headed by the ACO, with everyone entering (GTs and Prototypes).<BR> <BR> Henri doesn't seem convinced that all of the above will happen.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
