Ahoy MSCers,
This weekend's motorsport action focusses on the Ardennes and the Spa 24hrs.
The headline entries come from McLaren's three GT3 versions of the new MP4-12C which showed good pace as invitation entries to the recent British GT round at Spa.
Most established teams such as United Autosports have star names such as Mark Blundell, Johnny Herbert, Arie Luyendyk, Eddie Cheever and Stefan Johannson in 3 Audi R8s battling factory backed R8s driven by amongst others Mike Rockenfeller who was last seen with his R18 in pieces against the armco on the Mulsanne.
Photos of the event build up available from Endurance Info
F1, of course, continues its march around the globe, having been at the Nurburgring last weekend in the rain.
Just imagine if they had the bottle to run on the old north loop, it might look something like THIS
My other favourite video of the week was the one to accompany Dickie Meaden's EVO magazine article on testing the latest iteration of the Porsche 911 in South Africa
Finally, please keep us informed if you find any bugs or quirks with the MSC app. One of the advantages of the Android platform is the wide range of devices that can run the software so it is possible that some issues only affect certain types of phone or tablet or a specific version of Android.

v 0.8.7 Now available on the Android Market
The latest version of the App is 0.8.7.
This includes an updated tablet version, which provides a landscape view of the App. This version also supports increased resolution devices, up to 1280x800.
Minor bug fixes have been applied and some data has been updated, for instance the Britcar round at Donington Park which has now been cancelled.
We are continually striving towards updating the App, to improve it's use, function and form. Quite soon it should be completed, giving Event information which will include circuit maps of each circuit.
Sometimes, if upgrading from a significantly older version of the App, users may experience problems. In these circumstances we recommend clearing the cache of the App. In all cases this has resolved the issues.
Coming soon, calendar integration (paid for App only) and filtering by Month and Circuit!
We will be updating the App for the 2012 Motorsport calendar as dates are announced. This will be included in the free App.
If you like the App please tell others, if you don't like it, for whatever reason, please tell us! We are listening to user comments and integrating them where technically feasible.

v0.8.5 of TheMSC available on Android Market
The latest version of The MotorSport Calendar is now available on the Android Market.
Due to modifications to the application's internal database this update will clear any favourites users had stored, so these will have to be re-added.
This change, whilst inconvenient, will make the application more stable and allow future database changes to be made without impacted user's stored favourites.
On the good news front, the application now lists the popular Japanese SuperGT and Formula Nippon series.
Have a good weekend!
