77eme 24 Heures du Mans

Least the front of the race will be quiet in terms of engine noise

Diesel - Zzsshoooom.
Petrol - Phhhoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwrrrrr.err.err.er..

Petrol wins, always

sounds like you've got a misfire nicky

No, thats just me changing down for the right hand sweeper before Indianapolis... duuuhhh

There should be a great battle in GT2 porsche and Ferrari (not ruling out Aston and the Spuker of course), money on porsche this year.

And with LMP2 should be cloase as well between LOLA and porsche in the spyder, cant wait.

Ah yes, are Van Merkstein racing this year? And whos in the car now that Jos has gone to AMR?

Im gonna be missing the Sunday of the race because i'll be at Knockhill watching some live racing

Radio Lemans will be broadcasting 24hours for the race with free pratcie and quali covered.

Eurosport uk will have the race not sure about motors tv but there will many streams online.

Any 1 want to goahead with some race predictions?

Peugeot will take 1st and 2nd, but Audi will make use of great driving and strategy to win. I also expect a good fight between the Pescarolo 908, AMR's and the Kolles R10's

My bets are:
LMP1
The #7 Peugeot to win

Petrol class
#008 Aston Martin

LMP2
#31 Team Essex Porsche Spyder

GT1
Battle of the 'vettes.....#64 to win with Oli Gavin!

GT2
Toss up between the Felbermayr Porsche and the Risi Ferrari.

Breaking News (well 4hours old) But Peugeot have put a offical complaint in agianst the Audi R15 areo design at the front of the car, cant see the stewards rulling agianst audi but may go 2 the FIA after the race sy.....only way peugeot can make sure they win then.

My Predictions:

LMP2 - #5 Team Goh
GT1 - a toss up, probably whichever Vette doesn't break down
GT2 - #76 IMSA Performance Matmut
