Yep. No lap records this year.
*Edit*
Crikey - Montoya's a bit of a unit these days, isn't he.

He was never... svelte... but watching Indy a couple of years ago when he got out of the car I had to check that the TV was in the right aspect ratio.
They've got a poor deal with the Balance of Performance this year. Porsche, on the other hand, have benefited massively but the car appears to be difficult to drive.
The BoP and BoT normally gets reviews today as well, so we could see some changes going into the race. No one seems to know what yard stick the ACO/FIA are using at the moment but on the other than its hard to know if the teams are sandbagging much like Ford did a few years ago.
You do know its the 70th year anniversary of Porsche this year, so as homage to that they have brought back some classics livery's. I think the old skool livery's work really well on the cars and makes a changes from the normal color scheme.
Just went to sign up for Eurosport coverage. Looks like there’s a 7 day free trial of Eurosport Player. I *think* that means we can watch the race and cancel and not get charged. The coverage is all 24h but it looks a bit broken up so I HOPE it’s continuous. Obvs with Eurosport you have to put up with the incredibly annoying repetitive adverts as well...
Here are some great Porsche Pictures from Qualy: https://presse.porsche.de/prod/pres...nsf/Content?ReadForm&languageversionid=871355
That's the new desktop background sorted.

Yea, I was just reading about the changes. BoP changes look fairly minimum, its good though that Aston has had a small boost. However, they where in a simlar position last year and they along with Corvette and they ended up doing quiet well.
I'd love to know how they work all the BoP and BoT changes are made.

Definitely. There's 33 other cars to watch in three other classes, along with 'best of the rest' in LMP1.

Looks like they've done a cracking job with BoP in GTE Pro. Some great action already, and we haven't even had two hours.
Missed the first hour and a bit! Doh! Eurosport just about to talk about the distance record, guess Toyota have to go for something to save a bit of face over them having 0 competition in the race. Could cause them some problems later in the race having to go so hard though, so be interesting to see how/if they do it.

Anyone know why the #11 has been stuck in the garage? Not heard any mention of it on RLM. Gutted for JB
