The 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans test day has been cancelled, THE TEST DAY, this has not always been a normal Le Mans ritual.

Nissan has been testing a GTR race car looked to run in FIA GT and possibly a Le Mans spec car. Which actually looks hot.

Mazda has another team using their engines next year.

The GT Viper race car that ran last year (Primetime I think?) Is for sale, or you can run the whole 2009 ALMS season for $1,500,000...which is cheap CHEAP CHEAP. Whole ALMS season.

AND Acura was seen testing an LMP1 car at Sebring a few weeks ago. There was talk they may not run P1 but it looks like they will...

That GTR looks like something from the Dark Knight.
