The 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans Thread
I'm pretty excited for the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, and it starts just over 10 days! I figured I'd start a thread to keep track of everything Le Mans
 . I'm a sucker for retro liveries, so when Porsche paid homage to the Rothmans and Pink Pig liveries, I got excited! I would have loved to see them do a tribute to the psychedelic livery too. Here's some photos of the two retro liveries:       For more pictures of these two, click here! It looks like the non hybrid LMP1's will be quite competitive with Toyota at Le Mans, with Toyota putting the fastest lap during testing at 3:19:066, compared to 3:19:690 by Rebellion Racing according to sportscar365. I'd love to see Toyota finally win Le Mans.... i'm tired of the heartbreak year after year! I'm also rooting for #92 take GTE PRO, and #85 take home GTE AM. Although #85 is Keating Motorsports, the Risi guys are their pit crew. They're are good friends of mines, and with the bad luck these past few years, it would be great to see them take the win. This is the current entry list for the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans:   For the full PDF file of the spotter guide, click here Who are you rooting for this year?

Got this from BookFace
PROGRAMMING UPDATE: Next week's 24H of LeMans will be shown in full on Velocity. The full 24 hours, not 20 of the 24 hours. Dish channel 247, DirecTV channel 281. Check your TV listing for the channel number (Fox would rather show the FIFA World Cup then the biggest sports car race in the world) |

That Rothman’s tribute is bad-ass.

Rothman's nice, but I am a sucker for Gulf liveries of all types!

It looks like the #99 Proton Competition team is the only team with 3 American drivers, including fellow Southern Californian Patrick Long, so I will be cheering for 99. ������������
