    Will be there again as well, looking forward to cheering for Porsche!
    Weather forecast is pretty dreadful though, so bring your rain gear!

    I was invited by P-HQ to go there as well but unfortunately I had a prior commitment which could not wriggle out of...laugh...but I will try to watch as much as possible on TV...the race seems to be shaping up as an epic high-tech high- speed endurance battle between Audi and Porsche, with Toyota not far behind at all.no

    So excited for the race!  Porsche just went 1-2 in qualifying in P1 and 8-10-12 in class in GTE-Pro.  It's crazy how the BoP have favored the Ford GTs so much, though; disappointingly so.

    And, for those of you who hadn't heard/read, Porsche's 919s switched back to their 2015 batteries as they may have seen an issue with the 2016s in testing.  They could've also been a source of their lack of reliability in the first two races.

    It was due to a production issue at the cell factory in Shanghai.

    Porsche is being fed to the wolves in GTE Pro, the works-2016 RSR are 4 sec a lap off the pace, while the top 7 Ford GT and  Ferrari 488 GTE are all within 0.5 sec. 

    Outdated tech and unfavorable BoP. Why bother?

    ..and in LMP1, the Audi R8 are 3 sec a lap behind the Porsche 919...hard to believe that the R8 have already revealed their full potential.

    It seems that before the race, BOP in GTE  will be revised for Ferrari and Ford...

    Unprecedented (and embarassing) last minute BoP adjustment during race week in GTE PRO, but just tinkering at the margin, will not have a meaningful impact.

    Re: 24H Le Mans this week end

    Last year, the GT pole sitter ran a 3:54.9 in qualifying. This year, the Ford GTs and 488s were running 3:55s in practice sessions but ran 3:51s and 3:52s in qualifying, while the rest of the GT field was still running 3:55s, with only a single 911 RSR managing a 3:54.9

    Futch managed to get back to the pits, seemed brakes replaced and back on his way.
    In the LMP1 class it's a thriller... Porsche ru ning second at about 30 seconds behind toyota....

    But Toyota had all the luck throughout the whole race - yellow zones, safety cars, tyres... Until 5 minutes before the end. Drama, real dream!
    But this is endurance racing. Toyota didn't survive, Porsche did!!
