Considering I only see 1 Toyota, 2 Audis, and 1 Rebellion, I think not.

There are 61 cars at test day I think, and 56 of those are entered in the race.

I seem to remember Strakka doing nearly the exact same thing at the tail end of qualifying last year with the previous iteration of that car.

Can someone tell me where I can watch the rave live? Will it be on Lemans.org or the WEC website?

Why in the hell would you want to watch a bunch of people on acid waving glowsticks around to techno music? Laughing

It should be on the WEC website.

But don't worry just yet, it's a week away. I'll post plenty of links up to get people started!

A good technical article on the TS030 Hybrid. Uses the exact same wheel right out of the 2009 F1 car.

What time does it start in London? Cos I wasn't sure if it's 2 on GMT or French time

by nickyf1 Tue 12 Jun 2012 - 12:32

3pm CET (Le Mans time), we're an hour behind (so 2pm here in the UK) and you are 9 hours ahead of me, so the race will start at 11pm in Queensland.

by nickyf1 Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 13:12

Okay, Eurosport at 5pm GMT tonight for LIVE practice!

by theboomeranga Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 13:25

Oh joy :/ gonna miss the first 7 hours of the biggest race of the year :/ unless I stay up all night even though I have my first game of footy back after injury that day oh well, sacrificing sleep for Le mans seems fair
