Yep working again now, but it was definitely out earlier on two different ISPs and browsers.

I thought it had been pulled because of the over-excitement at Michelin Chicane

Tesla
It's the electric car making all the waves at the moment, and that's no surprise when you look at the stats. Based on the Lotus Elise, the Tesla manages 0-60mph in four seconds and will get from London to Plymouth on one charge. Oh, and we've driven it. Check back later in the month for our in-depth review of the celebrity electric car.

There's also a new TV series starting on Sunday, let's hope it appears.

Yep, you beat me to it. The long awaited blog about Le Mans. That "leblogauto" vid is pretty cool. Most the other vids and photos we already have here. Seems the French really like this Margot Laffite:

Tesla Roadster at Le Mans blog update

Hey - just got back from Le Mans where Tesla was again present.

On Friday I went to the drivers' parade and literally as I got off the tram and pushed into the crowd, I saw the back of the Protoscar Lampo, followed by an orange Roadster. It was so soon after arriving I didn't even have time to get my camera out of its bag.

On Saturday, just after the Le Mans Legends race, there was an unannounced 'supercars' parade which included a grey and an orange Roadster. I picked up my camera to get a snap of them in formation, only to see CARD ERROR on the screen. Arrrrgghhhh!!!

By the time I got the camera rebooted, all I could get was this crappy shot:

The orange one even stopped in front of me for 10 seconds, seemingly knowing there was a photo-op (I couldn't see who was driving either car).

Oh well, hopefully some other shots will turn up.

I wasn't sure where they were hiding the rest of the time - but I wasn't out and about as much as I was last year.

Overall not as good a race as 2008, but then that one will take some beating.
