#118 The fallout from Turkey and the build-up to Le Mans. Who was right, Vettel or Webber? and who will win, Audi or Peugeot? Memories of Le Mans from Jean-Luc Pomplemousse. And just how glamorous is Tom Kristensen’s lifestyle as the King Of Denmark? And new GJOS Music - I’m in Love with the ACO.

Gareth Jones On Speed - I’m In Love With The ACO

(Aha, yeah, yeah everybody say its French)

Well, there’s a race in France to which you’ve got to go
They run for 24 hours “That’s long you know”
The Circuit de La Sarthe ain’t exactly slow
On the Mulsanne straight you can get a tow
But not from the RAC, from the ACO

(Lemme tell ya about it,)

The ACO, the ACO
I’m in love with the Le Mans
And the ACO
The ACO, the ACO
I’m in love with Le Mans
And the ACO

(Oh! everybody say Oh!)

TVR, Pescarolo
Drayson, JLOC, Spyker Squadron

Flying Lizard, Risi, Creation
Oreca, Kolles, Labre Competition
 
DeLaheye, Alfa Romeo

The ACO, the ACO
I’m in love with the Le Mans
And the ACO

McLaren, Porsche
Ferrari, Ford, Mazda

The ACO, the ACO
I’m in love with the Le Mans
And the ACO

BMW, Total Peugeot
Aston Martin won it long ago
Sauber once were first past the post
But despite the skills of Mr Joest
Porsche have still won this race the most.

(Peace, I’m outta here, gonna get some sleep, Aha yeah)
