Le Mans
Le Mans (pronounced: [lə mɑ̃]) is a city in France, located on the Sarthe River. Traditionally the capital of the province of Maine, it is now the capital of the Sarthe department and the seat of the Roman Catholic diocese of Le Mans. Le Mans is a part of the Pays de la Loire region.
Its inhabitants are called Manceaux and Mancelles. Since 1923, the city has hosted the internationally famous 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance sports car race.
History
First mentioned by Claudius Ptolemy, the Roman city Vindinium was the capital of the Aulerci, a sub tribe of the Aedui. Le Mans is also known as Civitas Cenomanorum (City of the Cenomani), or Cenomanus. Their city, seized by the Romans in 47 BC, was within the ancient Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis. A 3rd-century amphitheatre is still visible. The thermae were demolished during the crisis of the third century when workers were mobilized to build the city's defensive walls. The ancient wall around Le Mans is one of the most complete circuits of Gallo-Roman city walls to survive.
2007 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 75th Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France from 16–17 June 2007. Four classes of cars raced together, with each class having honors for its highest finishers. The faster LMP1 and LMP2 classes were for custom-built Le Mans Prototypes (LMP), and the slower GT1 and GT2 classes were for modified grand tourer (GT) road cars.
The LMP1 class saw the first competition between the new diesel engined Peugeot 908 HDi FAP prototype and the diesel Audi R10 TDI, the 2006 Le Mans winner; the Audi once again achieved an overall victory. There was heavy attrition in the LMP2 class, in which only two competitors finished the race. In the GT1 class, Aston Martin achieved its first win over the Corvette since returning to the event in 2005. The GT2 class was a battle between Ferrari and Porsche, won by Porsche. The race was attended by over 250,000 spectators.
Track changes
Between the 2006 and 2007 races, the Circuit de la Sarthe was upgraded, most obviously by the reprofiling of the Tertre Rouge corner. The new corner was moved inward, to create a long flowing curve instead of the single point apex it had been previously, shortening the lap distance by 21 meters to a revised 13.629 km. A new pedestrian tunnel – below the Mulsanne Straight, immediately after Tertre Rouge – was also built. The work had been planned to be carried out before the 2006 event, but it was delayed because of budgetary concerns.

El Amor
by: Azucar MorenoViene oculto en su disfraz
Y te puede sorprender
Cuando menos tu lo crees
És enigma a descifrar
Argumento accidental
Que se cuela en el sabor
De tu boca y tu razón
Y sin saber
Te atraviesa de reves
Y te pone a alucinar
És un sorbo de coñac
Con veneno de emoción
Que te sube al corazón
Que golpea donde és
Y disfruta al poseer
El amor, que se para en una esquina
Nos asalta y nos derriba
Cuando atrapa nos domina
Y en el alma se amontina
Nos eleva tan violento
Que tocamos firmamento
Y vivimos en un sueño
El amor, el que no se falsifica
El que siempre está optimista
De que venga cada dia
El amor, dulce escencia de la vida
Que se hace llama infinita
Que nos lleva hasta la cima
Dejate llevar cuando llegue a ti
Dejalo quedar cuando venga a ti
Dejate llevar cuando llegue a ti
Dejalo quedar cuando venga a ti
Cuando viene por ahí
És difícil eludir
El se mete entre tu piel
Con esa ansiedad de sed
El te inspira lo mejor
Te encierra en su callejón
Donde no hay más que abordar
En su viaje para amar
Y sin saber
Te atraviesa de reves
Y te pone a alucinar
En un sorbo de coñac
Con veneno de emoción
Que te sube al corazón
Que golpea donde és
Y disfruta al poseer
El amor, que se para en una esquina
Nos asalta y nos derriba
Cuando atrapa nos domina
Y en el alma se amontina
Nos eleva tan violento
Que tocamos firmamento
Y vivimos en un sueño
El amor, el que no se falsifica
El que siempre está optimista
De que venga cada dia
El amor, que se para en una esquina
Nos asalta y nos derriba
Cuando atrapa nos domina
Y en el alma se amontina
Nos eleva tan violento
Que tocamos firmamento
Y vivimos en un sueño
El amor, el que no se falsifica
El que siempre está optimista
De que venga cada dia
Dejate llevar cuando llegue a ti
Dejalo quedar cuando venga a ti
Dejate llevar cuando llegue a ti
Dejalo quedar cuando venga a ti
El amor, que se para en una esquina
Nos asalta y nos derriba
Cuando atrapa nos domina
Y en el alma se amontina
Nos eleva tan violento
Que tocamos firmamento
Y vivimos en un sueño
El amor, el que no se falsifica
El que siempre está optimista
De que venga cada dia
El amor, que se para en una esquina
Nos asalta y nos derriba
Cuando atrapa nos domina
Y en el alma se amontina
Nos eleva tan violento
Que tocamos firmamento
Y vivimos en un sueño...
