It was not scheduled, but after a little water leak during practice, the team called Sodemo at Magny-Cours, who decided to send the new engine to Catalunya. The installation was finished ten minutes before the end of the warm-up.<BR> <BR> Apparently the car's entry at Donington this weekend is dependent on what Sodemo find after they examine the new engine. If they do take part, Boullion & Redon will be at the wheel. Bourdais will be at Imola for the F3000 race.<BR> <BR> The Courage C60 Peugeot was launched with Michelin tyres, which will be used in Le Mans. But in the FIA-SCC, the team has to use Goodyear and Bourdais said that the car was slipping a lot.<BR> <BR> David Legangneux<BR> </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>
