Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everybody. Easter used to be a traditional motor race weekend, but it seems to have died out. Except for the Le Mans Test Day, and WTCC, F3 and of course the Camping World Truck Series where F1 bad boy Piquet Jr. finished second. It will be interesting to see him and Kimi on the same track again at Charlotte.
Strange lack of interest in the Le Mans test day. I failed to find live timing and the only web site to report anything was Autosport, and that only has the morning times. The Audis lead the way with the three of them and one of the Peugeots the only cars under 3 min 30 secs. 3 min 27 seconds to be precise, about 8 seconds off last years pole time, so they have slowed the diesels down a little, but "equalization?" The best petrol car was 10 seconds slower the last times I saw, and the Aston is in real trouble at 14 seconds slower than that. Engine trouble continues to plague the car. The 458 Ferraris top the GTE time sheet, so they have them sorted quickly.
Robert Kubica is out of hospital and resting before starting rehab and training. Great to hear. An August return is being mooted, and who would doubt it with his determination?
