|||
The official test session for Le Mans was run on [[June 3]], which serves as the only practice session that is not park of qualifying timing. A total of eight hours of track time was allowed for teams to find their set-ups and rookie drivers to get in their required ten laps to learn the circuit. |

'''Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux''' ([[May 11]], [[1827]], [[Valenciennes]] –[[October 12]], [[1875]], [[Courbevoie]]) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under [[François Rude]]. Carpeaux won the [[Prix de Rome]] in [[1854]], and moving to [[Rome]] to find inspiration, he there studied the works of [[Michelangelo Buonarroti|Michelangelo]], [[Donatello]] and [[Andrea del Verrocchio|Verrocchio]]. Staying in Rome from [[1854]] to [[1861]], he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of [[baroque art]]. In [[1861]] he made a bust of [[Mathilde Bonaparte|Princess Mathilde]], and this later brought him several commissions from [[Napoleon III]]. He worked at the pavilion of [[Flora (goddess)|Flora]], and the [[Opéra Garnier]]. His group La Danse (the Dance, [[1869]]), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency. |
|||
Times would be lead by [[Sébastien Bourdais]], with his [[Peugeot 908]] leading two [[Audi R10]]s with a time of 3:26.707, a full second and a half ahead of the trailing Audi. [[Pescarolo Sport]] would have the fastest gasoline-powered car in fourth. In LMP2, the pair of Barazi-Epsilon entries would lead with identical times, 3:39.016. ASM team would trail the pair in class. |
|||
He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of [[Asia]], [[Europe]], [[North America|America]] and [[Africa]], and it was [[Emmanuel Frémiet]] who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin. |
|||
In GT1, the #63 [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] would take the top time at the end of the day, running a 3:49.207, followed by the #007 [[Aston Martin]] and second factory Corvette. GT2 on the other hand would be dominated by [[Porsche]], with all three positions being taken by new 997s. IMSA Performance Matmut would lead with a 4:01.598 with Autorlando and Flying Lizard following behind. The Risi Competizione entry would be the first Ferrari, in fourth. |

Although there were various small incidents, there were three major accidents that lead to a red flag for the session. The #13 [[Courage Compétition]] driven by Guillaume Moreau went off at the Porsche Curves during the second hour.[http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/actu/2007-06-03_JS_1671_gb.html] The car would not return due to major damage that has bent the chassis. The second red flag involved the #24 Noël del Bello entry going off track at the same location in the hands of Vitaly Petrov.[http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/actu/2007-06-03_JS_1685_gb.html] The #10 Arena Motorsports [[Zytek]] went off at the same corner near the final hour, causing the final red flag when it briefly caught fire.[http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/actu/2007-06-03_JS_1709_gb.html] |

==Qualifying== |
|||
* The Dance (commissioned for the [[Palais Garnier|Opera Garnier]]) |
|||
Qualifying's first session began with the bulk of teams attempting to set times due to the treat of rain. The [[Audi]]s and [[Peugeot]]s would trade off the overall pole, with the #1 Audi leading at the end of the session with a 3.28.301. The #33 Barazi-Epsilon [[Zytek]] would lead LMP2 after correcting a misfire problem. Both of [[Oreca]]'s [[Saleen]]s would be the strongest in the GT1 field, while [[Ferrari]] and [[Porsche]] would trade off the lead in GT2. Unfortunately the session was red flagged approximately halfway through due to a heavy accident by the #53 JLOC [[Lamborghini Murcielago]] which hit the wall at the first [[Mulsanne]] chicane.<ref>http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/actu/2007-06-13_JS_1827_gb.html</ref> [[Marco Apicella]] was driving but uninjured. The #25 [[Ray Mallock Ltd.]] [[Lola Racing Cars|Lola]] and #81 LNT [[Panoz]] would be the only cars not to set a lap time before the session briefly returned to green as rain began. The session was extended by fifteen minutes by the ACO to make up for the red flag. |

==Neapolitan Fisherboy== |
|||
The second session started several minutes late with a track that was still damp from the earlier rain. A red flag briefly came out for the #5 Swiss Spirit [[Lola Racing Cars|Lola]] car a few minutes after the session began due to the car stopping on the side of the track. Although the track was drying, it was not until the last half hour that teams were able to improve on their first session times. The #2 Audi and #8 Peugeot traded off the pole position multiple times before the session ended with the #8 Peugeot claiming the top position on the final lap of the session with a 3:26.344. In GT1 the #008 [[Larbre Compétition|Larbre]] [[Aston Martin]] would also take the class lead on the final lap with a 3:50.761. The rest of the class leaders would however not improve their times. |
|||
Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of ''Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille'', the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the [[French Academy]] while a student in [[Rome]]. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for [[Napoleon III]]'s empress, [[Eugénie de Montijo|Eugènie]]. The statue of the young smiling boy was very popular, and Carpeaux created a number of reproductions and variations in marble and bronze. There is a copy, for instance, in the Samuel H. Kress Collection in the [[National Gallery of Art]] in [[Washington D.C.]] |
|||
The first session on Thursday would begin with heavy rain. Although some cars attempted to do some wet weather testing, the track would become wet enough to force all teams back to the garages. However cars returned to the track after a half hour when the rain began to taper off, but the rain would never end. No cars would be able to improve their qualifying times before the session ended. |
|||
Some years later, he carved the Girl with a Shell, a very similar study. |
|||
The second session would continue to be run under rain, with most teams concentrating on their wet weather setups in preperation for the race. Approximately halfway through the session the #7 [[Peugeot]] in the hands of [[Marc Gené]] would miss the turn at Arnage and hit the tire barrier. The car was unable to return to the pits and would be taken behind the wall by the marshalls. This was soon followed by the #73 [[Luc Alphand]] [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] missing the same turn as well, but would continue on. The #70 PSI [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] would have an accident in the last five minutes of the session, bringing out the only red flag of the day and ending all of qualifying. |
|||
Carpeaux sought real life subjects in the streets and broke with the classical tradition. The Neapolitan Fisherboy's body is carved in intimate detail and shows an intricately balanced pose. Carpeaux claimed that he based the Neapolitan Fisherboy on a boy he had seen during a trip to [[Naples]]. |

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux.
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (May 11, 1827, Valenciennes –October 12, 1875, Courbevoie) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under François Rude. Carpeaux won the Prix de Rome in 1854, and moving to Rome to find inspiration, he there studied the works of Michelangelo, Donatello and Verrocchio. Staying in Rome from 1854 to 1861, he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of baroque art. In 1861 he made a bust of Princess Mathilde, and this later brought him several commissions from Napoleon III. He worked at the pavilion of Flora, and the Opéra Garnier. His group La Danse (the Dance, 1869), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency.
He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of Asia, Europe, America and Africa, and it was Emmanuel Frémiet who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin.
Sculptures by Carpeaux
- Ugolin et ses fils - Ugolino and his Sons (1861, in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art)[[1]] with versions in other museums including the Musée d'Orsay
- The Dance (commissioned for the Opera Garnier)
- Jeune pêcheur à la coquille - Neapolitan Fisherboy - in the Louvre, Paris [[2]]
- Girl with Shell
- Antoine Watteau monument, Valenciennes
Neapolitan Fisherboy
Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille, the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the French Academy while a student in Rome. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for Napoleon III's empress, Eugènie. The statue of the young smiling boy was very popular, and Carpeaux created a number of reproductions and variations in marble and bronze. There is a copy, for instance, in the Samuel H. Kress Collection in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
Some years later, he carved the Girl with a Shell, a very similar study.
Carpeaux sought real life subjects in the streets and broke with the classical tradition. The Neapolitan Fisherboy's body is carved in intimate detail and shows an intricately balanced pose. Carpeaux claimed that he based the Neapolitan Fisherboy on a boy he had seen during a trip to Naples.
