Alot of good cars & manufactuers missing from last year(Peugeot & Aston Martin in LMP1,BMW in LMP2,Lotus & BMW again in GTE Pro & Ford in GT Am), but still looking forward to another awesome race!

[What's Burning?]

I hope that stupid delta wing doesn't make it past the first lap. Audi is going the Peugeot route and bringing not only their triple threat, but a fourth "Private" R18 entrant that you know is just a fourth factory team.

[oaba09]

I remember attempting to watch the whole race from start to finish last year but it was harder than I anticipated

[Frontrunner]

Toyota only going in with 2 cars, why not 3 cars? and you can say that Audi has 4 factory cars, upper hand to Audi already, unless the Toyota has quick pace or more importantly has awesome fuel economy and spends less time in pits during the 24 hours. I guess will wait and see, but still would like to see Toyota run a 3rd car.

[stonemonkey]

GT academy winner's in the team with martin brundle.

[scotty]

The quattro R18's are looking bloody quick.

LMP2 is gonna be the best fight i think

[geetface9]

Very much looking forward to this race. Hopefully I can get it to stream during the hours that I'm at work

[Jabberwocky]

I went to the race a few years ago it was mental. The atmosphere was just astounding.

[acosmichippo]

Going to Le Mans is on my bucket list. Monaco GP too. Maybe I can do both in the same trip. That would be nuts.

[What's Burning?]

I'm so excited.

[scotty]

Onboard lap with the Strakka boys, who i hope do well (would like to work for this team in the future sometime!) and get the best non-factory result...

Cool footage from the test day! This is another example of why i love sportscar racing - one of the few remaining disciplines where you get a nice mix of engine sounds!

[youtube]DdqPtWe9tPk[/youtube]

[geetface9]

I'm so excited.

ME TOO!!!

I should have requested the weekend of off work!! I have sunday off though, so I'll get to watch footage all day so I can't complain too much. And I'll hopefully catch a fair bit of it streaming while I'm at work saturday night. "Work"

Hybrids qualify P1 through P4. Audi in P1 & P3, Toyota in P2 & P4.

Audi's non hybrids round out top 6.

Ant Davidson qualifies second in the Toyota! Good job to him.

Ant Davidson qualifies second in the Toyota! Good job to him.

But, i think that is 3rd overall behind the quattro R18's...

edit - sorry, behind the #1 and #3 cars. Full grid:
