Who's watching the 24hrs of Le Man's

I'm a Porsche fan and owner for as long as I can remember, but Toyota is looking very good this year setting the lap record in qualifying yesterday. I think they have a strong chance of finally getting that overall win, unless something like last year happens to them.

Unfortunately, you may find limited response here on TW, but I will also be watching.

 

Glad to hear, at least one person on tw will be watching

 

It has been a Sesame Street kind of day....



Maybe on demand when it is adult time again.

 

I get the FIA wec app and pay for the live stream then Chromecast it to a TV, the European commentary is a lot better and no commercials

 

I find LMP1/2 fascinating and it's starting to grow on me more, but I'll be paying a little more attention to the GTE field I think as those have always been my obsession.

 

there is just so much more than what meats the eyes with a race of this nature.

Porsche is always on the top of my list, would be great to see toyota succeed and I dont care what you think because diesel audis are pretty cool.

it is always fun when multiple classes / races are taking part at the same time on the same track!!!

 

I will check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

 

GTE it's great and can be a lot more competitive I feel if the ACO/FIA can get the Balance of Power right with the different cars. I don't know why they don't adopt the rules implemented by the Blancpain GT3 series, they seem to be very competitive

I'm still a little salty from Ford coming in last year and essentially gaming the rules to their benefit and taking the GTE win

 

I'm hoping to catch some of it, never watched anything like it before but my buddy @h.zack801 has me intrigued.

 

I watch every year, was a heart break last year with Toyota but this year I think they will dominate again and hopefully til the end. I hear Porsche is thinking about leaving LMP1.

 

No Le Mans for me, now when 24hrs of Lemons comes up I'll be rooting for the third gens haha

 

where'd you hear that from? they have to stay, with Audi being gone there will be no representation for the VAG group in the top tier endurance racing

 

racing is racing, I'm all in

Based on the success of Cadillac in IMSA this year, I would bet almost every dollar I have we will see them at Le Mans next year running LMP1.

 

hmm that would be interesting because corvette runs the flag for GM

 

Hmm they make a good point with needing more manufacturers on the grid for LMP1 and the cost of this tier is staggering so something needs to be done. Endurance racing without Porsche is like Formula 1 without Ferrari know what I mean?

 

Precisely why I anticipate seeing more high volume tier 1s entering. Nissan had one last year or year before, can't remember, and supplying the engine in one this year. Toyota is already there. Cadillac will almost surely be there. It won't be long before Ford tries to replicate Cadillac's successes in that class.
