Hmmm, this is an interesting thought, and sort of one that resurrects and old idea (or perhaps a fear) from the 1980s, when F1 was controlled by a fellow with a shady Nazi past who seemed hell-bent on doing things his way or not at all, and with Bernie Ecclestone whispering in his ear. Today that's all gone though. Jean-Marie Balestre is no longer running this, Max Mosley is, or was until a couple of months ago and Bernie is ... oh, wait. Anyway, so what's the story here? The story is about something called the Le Mans Intercontinental Cup that has been started by The Automobile Club de l’Ouest. Yes, the same guys that have kept Le Mans running without much outside influence since
