Hope they get this thing going again soon! Looks like Toyota might have something for Audi this year.

Not good about the AM driver. They won't release his condition of reply what happened on SPEED.

Could be very bad.

I read on the ticker on the Le Mans main site that he is conscious.

You guys see the comments about Porsche's LMP1 car for next year?

Timo was interviewed and had a few comments about the testing. He and Jorg will be the driving team next year - this their last year in the 911.

The Porsche banner (announcing Porsche's return to LMP) across from Audi is classic.

Toyota seems to have the advantage in wet conditions.

Love the Sam Posy commentaries. I had the opportunity to see & listen to him talk about his days at LeMans. He lives up by Lime Rock. Hope to see him again there, maybe in a couple of weeks at ALMS.

You know I used to despise the Corvettes...(I still despise the ones on the street) but have grown to truly appreciate the Chevrolet Corvette Racing program. They are a first class gruppe.

As a Silverado owner I guess I can be happy when the Vettes win.

I just found this before coming here... mostly in-car stuff so far:

Live: 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours - F1 Fanatic

I haven't taken a look at the WEC feed yet.

One of the two guys doesn't know Porsche has two syllables.

The Armco barrier is right up against a tree. Seems like the barrier can't expand at impact to adsorb the energy.

What time did the race start ET? Every year I think it starts at 330.
