Our local Porsche dealer is having a live broadcast from the beginning to 8:30 and they lock the gates at 9:00. Much of the day it is not broadcast on cable TV but they have a feed from some source. THe best part is they are serving free food at lunch time.

I think the local dealer, Rusnak, is also throwing a LeMans party.

Guesses on the win ? I think Toyota takes it this year... They have the speed and reliability and looks faster than Porsche. Frankly, they deserve one, too, last year was brutal and they stuck with it. I can't quite root for them but I'll be happy for them if they take it...
Rumors that Porsche is about to leave (again) - because they are stuck withing the regs, unable to redesign their less competitive chassis... They're also looking at formula E, like Audi did when leaving Le Mans... That would be a blow.... In fact I will risk a bet that Porsche misses out on victory in both classes, the 911 looks non-competitive despite the mid engine shift... Still can't wait to watch ! Ford released "the return" movie on the genesis of the GT and last years's win on Prime... Probably worth a watch before the w/e ! |

Gon fix it with me hammer

Formula E sucks balls, i watched it once.. I think it's more exiting to watch a game of cricket..
The sound alone is cringe.

Probably won't be able to see much of the coverage, maybe I could tape it.
I am heading to the Mid-Ohio Vintage races next weekend however, to see some cool race cars from the past. I so want to do this myself ! |

I believe Porsche should take the tech from the 918 and put it in a F1 engine and supply McLaren. Time to watch the Le Mans movie today to prepare!

Last year I plugged in my iPad and watched the whole thing via the FIA app. Not sure I will have the time to do that this year though. Excellent commercial free stream for $9.99. They also have live timing on the app for free!

Pretty sure this year is Toyota's year. Too bad they couldn't do it with Audi still in the game.
Kobayashi's rscord breaking pole lap was awesome... hard to believe it's in real time: https://youtu.be/6fNtWuFf-ZM |

the LMP2 move on the Rissi Ferrari deserves a serious penalty
