Encore Petit!

The Petit Le Mans is now on the Intercontinental Cup Calendar for 2011 on October 1st. So, was that just a negotiating ploy? I am personally glad to see it included as I was very much involved in the inaugural race when there was no ALMS, and it deserves to be on the calendar. To me it is a better race than Sebring.

Luca di Montezemolo, Mr. Ferrari, is concerned that the rules for 2011 are still somewhat open to interpretation, particularly in respect to the movable rear wing. Patrick Head warned recently that the latter innovation is "not set in stone," and that is my understanding, so when is that going to be clarified?

It seems the Olympic Commission is concerned about the planned staging of the first Russian F1 race the same year as the Winter Games in Sochi. They question whether you can run two such events in one city in the same year, but I would have thought that many of the facilities, especially temporary stands for instance, could work for both and save money.
