The off-season is finally over! After a six-month break, LMPs and GTs are back on track to unveil their new aero or livery or even a brand-new car! The official test sessions are always a kind of leap in the dark for the teams and a voyage of discovery for the spectators, who are now welcome back on the legendary Le Castellet circuit to enjoy car-racing.

Ex-Formula One stars will make race-fans' toes curl either as new comers, like Jean Alesi or Giancarlo Fisichella, or as regular competitors, like Olivier Panis. Nigel Mansell and his sons, who raced at Silverstone last year, are back for the whole season, more excited than ever about endurance.

The official test days will be a rehearsal before the eight-hour race which will kick off the 2010 season on April 9, 10 and 11.
