Anyone attending this year? Lots of F1 drivers in it by the sounds of things with Alonso, Button, Montoya etc - Should be a good one!

delta0 · 18 Apr 2018 at 16:04

I’m going. Just looking at the list we have Jenson Button, Pastor Maldonado, Paul Di Resta, Kamui Kobayashi, Juan Pablo Montoya, Vitaly Petrov, Bruno Senna, Sebastian Buemi, Jean-Eric Vergne, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso

I'm going too, not sure how it will all pan out but looking forward to the shuffle round the pack at least.

As I missed last year's glorious sunshine it will undoubtedly be pouring the whole time I'm there too

Ceryndrion · 25 Apr 2018 at 18:55

Too much on my plate this year unfortunately.

rodenal · 2 Jun 2018 at 10:35

Not long now, I've managed to travel the day after some strikes so my train journey from Paris might be....interesting

Shame they've insisted on messing around with the na lmp1's in relation to Toyota though

GravyMonster · 4 Jun 2018 at 14:06

Really looking forward to this year.

Also Stevens, Van Der Garde, Lammers, Nasr, Giovinazzi, Magnussen, Bourdais, Bruni, Fisichella, Cheever, Lamy. Technically Lotterer and Sarrazin too, although they both only had one race.

So does the class matter for winning the triple crown? I.e. Montoya racing in Le Mans for the second tier.

Guerrilla · 12 Jun 2018 at 19:18

I think it has to be outright victory.

RSR · 13 Jun 2018 at 11:57

Its Toyota's to loose this year and that's what makes LMP1, so unappealing as the BoT has been adjusted to give them advantage. However, the Toyota has not been faultless this season as the No.7 car had a problem at Spa earlier last month.

The GTE class looks to be amazing this year, the new Aston looks stunning and Porsche have some really fanatic colour schemes which hark back to the old days, so really looking forward to that.

Eurosport 1 HD starts it coverage from 3PM today, so ill have that on later.

Watching a stream on YouTube of qualy

Jonny69 · 14 Jun 2018 at 13:16

I'm watching from home this year. I might dig up some of the old threads and see if any of the old Le Mans resources like the Couchkit etc are still working.

RSR · 14 Jun 2018 at 17:59

Qualify 2 is now live.

Zirax · 14 Jun 2018 at 19:37

I went and got the FIA WEC stream, doh after last years fun I am thinking that the Eurosport player might be a better shout?

GravyMonster · 14 Jun 2018 at 19:38

Heads up, Q2 red flagged due to big crash for the #47 (driver's fine), so Q3 will start at 2030 our time instead.

Flibster · 14 Jun 2018 at 20:55

I know that some people think that having a Porsche is a penis extension, but painting it pink.... Really doesn't help the stereotype.

Ryan-3 · 14 Jun 2018 at 21:00

But, but.. it's the pink pig.

It's one of the few retro liveries that looks good on a modern racing car.

Housey · 14 Jun 2018 at 21:05

So commentary on MacBook and Le Mans on YouTube on me telly. Win

GravyMonster · 14 Jun 2018 at 21:19

What's up with the Astons? They're so far off the pace.
