Monza - Thursday
The news from London travelled to northern Italy very quickly - writes Gabriele Tosi. So it was a subdued day at Monza, not helped at all by the weather.

It was a shame not to see any Saleens in the paddock, while the Convers Team / Russian Age Ferrari might well be racing at Spa, for the 24 Hours.

The GruppeM Porsches at the 24 Hours will be driven by Lieb / Rockenfeller plus Lucas Luhr, and Sugden / Collard plus Stephane Ortelli: very, very strong.

Here at Monza the entry is down to 45, so not as good as it might have been.

A most interesting aspect of the meeting will be the weather: we expected 38° with burning sunshine, but today it was hailing hard for 15 minutes, and the weather will be ... unpredictable. Here are Didier Theys, Henri Pescarolo, Nic Minassian, Jamie Campbell-Walter, Emmanuel Collard and Jean-Christophe Boullion - catching up on the latest news.
