Marc VDS are back once again for the second round of the TEC. After an eventful 12 hours at Sebring, the LMP and GT teams have crossed the Atlantic for the Le Mans 24 Hours.

New drivers take the helm of the Ford GT and Lola Aston this time. MotoYeti and LMR BlackHawk will be joining Mandown46 and XXX Skyrocket in the Ford, while Sbiggs joins Standaman94, xVampirAx and Takum1 Fujiwara [formerly x A Senna x] in the Aston.

The biggest change you may notice is the Ford. The livery from Sebring has been replaced by the livery adorned in the LeMans 24hrs 2010. Both cars wear the Allan Simenson sticker made by Standaman94 in memoriam of the tragic accident at the real-world Le Mans 24 Hours last weekend.

Testing is well underway now at Le Mans. Both teams have been lapping the circuit all weekend in preparation for qualifying this week. New car build regulations and, of course, a new track means that everything from Sebring is entirely out the window. Half of the circuit is spent at full-throttle, meaning the cars will be built for speed. Low downforce means less grip and slippery tails, a challenge to tame in the week before the race.

The teams are up against some serious competition, as ever, with some of the fastest drivers in the world competing. Understandably we won't seeking a 1st place, but we'll certainly be trying our hardest to get the best result possible. With twice the distance of Sebring, anything can happen.
