Going to be a great race! Toyotas do not look as outright fast as last year, but with all the rain this week and the fact that it probably will continue, there is the possibility for some upsets. The teams that play their strategy right and take advantage of the rain (and don't end up in the armco) could really dominate. The new 991 GTE Porsches look really mean by the way. Worth tuning in for. Speed is broadcasting a lot of the race, but I usually just put the T.V. on with the sound on mute and tune in to Radiolemans.com for the coverage. Hindaugh and the gang make things much more interesting and immersive. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) All they kept saying was how bad the roof was bent, and that it shouldn't bend like that, then the pictures of his team watching the video...... Very sad. Maybe the Safer Barriers that NASCAR uses should be used. |

What to say? An absolutely exhausting race, physically for the drivers and teams and emotionally for me at least. Simonsen was a great driver and even the greatest get caught out and the inevitable ensues.
Was proud of Aston Martin for soldiering on and keeping up the good fight, as well as all of the teams who worked through the miserable conditions. While not the happiest of Le Mans races, I think this was one truly for the ages. |
