The Winning project: Adi Sumic, School: Visoka Sola Za Dizajn, Slovenia

Last Saturday in Brno the 2008 Visual Art 'Young? Creative? Chevrolet!' competition came to an end with the election of the best design of a new decoration for the Lacetti race car among various projects presented by young European students.

It was a last minute thing for Allan Simonsen. Originally the Aussie Dane was to pilot the Tafel Racing Ferrari 430 GT2 that he raced so successfully at Sebring earlier this year, teaming with hotshots Dominik Farnbacher and Dirk Müller. Without warning, Tafel pulled the pin, citing economic reasons. With only 55 cars allowed to start (all must be invited by the ACO other than those who are 1st and 2nd in each class in 2007 plus various LMS champions) that means 165 drivers are needed and everyone wants a shot at the worlds greatest race.

A whole bunch of options were looked at but ended up as dead ends.

Audi would be the eventual winner, taking revenge on Peugeot for their early season success in the LMS

37 cars out of the 55 entrants of the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours are Le Mans Series regulars!

Figures are edifying! There is no doubt about the sporting justification of the series which are celebrating this year their fifth season.
