With just a day before the green flag is set to drop, the Vodafone British Gamers team and their GT Spec BMW M3 have gained access to the Le Mans circuit for a private test session. There have been reports that the circuit manager, Frédéric Lénart, is rather fond of tea and crumpets, and in exchange for a years supply of the good stuff, the team have gained exclusive testing access for day.


Here are some spy shots of the car pounding around the circuit in the morning, shortly after the track had reached an ideal temperature.


There is talk around the paddock that the team are also running a vary stiff setup on the car, as several times it could be seen cocking a wheel up into the air, as seen here:


Upon returning to the pit lane, it also seems that another front splitter has been damaged on the car, probably at Tetre Rouge, which can't leave the team with many spares for the race itself. In qualifying Scott Haines actually managed to roll his car while navigating the twinkie-filled Tetre Rouge which required extensive repair work. Tom Hinds has also hopped across the twinkies more than once in the build up to the race, each time smashing the leading edge of the splitter into them resulting in heavy damage to what is essential in equating to front end downforce.
