It looks like Fox finally learned from last year to actually broadcast most of the 24 Hours of Le Mans There's a solid 8 hour block from 8:30 to 4:30 and an 11 hour block from 10:30 to 9:30. Totaling to 20 hours of coverage with the other 30 minute segments. It's still not great, but it's definitely an improvement.FOX Sports begins coverage from Silverstone on FS1, before moving to FS2 for the conclusion. The entire race is available live through FOX Sports GO

I am hoping for a far better day tomorrow for my beloved Toyota. Watching qualifying was like 2015 all over again. They said the control system issues should be fine for tomorrow.
It is great to have WEC back though. Also, looking at it without the MotorsTV Vaseline effect is great thanks to streaming through the app.

I hear you, I really hope they find form. Last year was an utter disappointment.

I've noticed that Porsche and Audi are running rims that seem to have a narrower lip on the outside. Similar to the narrow F1 rims we saw a few years back. Does anyone know if there are some aerodynamic reasons behind these, or may this be a detail to extract heat out of the brakes?

Yeah but he is probably doing OK as a factory Ligier driver now.

It by far is the best looking, and best sounding GT car out there. Not the most interesting livery, but my god does the bodywork look fantastic.
Too early to call, but strength measurements don't seem to have changed since last year in LMP1. I was feeling good when Toyota were catching up in the first hour, but after almost 2 hours they are about to get lapped by the leader. Not good...
