Sony France have always been big motorsport sponsors, it wouldn't normally mean anything as Gran Turismo and Playstation have been sponsoring Le Mans and select teams for many years now. (there was even a Porsche 911 GT1 that had Gran Turismo sponsorship back in 1998)
The '5' though is interesting and points to an iminent release (after all, if they were planning to release the game next year, they would sponsor fully GT5 at next year's Le Mans, no?).
Its worth noting that while Pescarolo had Gran Turismo/Playstation sponsorship for many years, they only had GT4 sponsorship one year - 2005.

Although I prefer last years R15 lookswise, looks are the least important priority when designing a racecar ( it's designing, not styling ), it's all about optimal functionality and performance.
And Wolfgang Ullrich insists on open cockpits for visibility and heating reasons I believe.

Personally I believe they should've continued with the R10 platform. I was quite surprised how soon they ditched it for the R15 seeing the R8 was used for so long and still a dominant car. After all the R10 was still the car to beat for Peugeot. Although it may be early to call, I'm predicting Audi not being able to bring the challenge to Peugeot any closer than last year. If anything, I expect the Astons closer up with the Audis for this year. But of course answers will come in a few couple of days.

Are there any streams covering the qualifying sessions or do they only stream the race?

I understand what you mean, it's great to hear the loud and nice sound of an engine, it's a demostration of it's power. But sound is energy, the louder an engine is, the greater is the energy lost making that great noise. The real demostration of the power of the diesel engines is when the audis and peugeots beat the petrol engined cars.
I like the sound of the diesels better, I hear that, and think in the engineers saying "we are not wasting energy in sound" 👍

Evening all, how many will be sticking around for qualifying? Or is that a bit of a silly question...? 
Never seen the cars bump so violently through Terte Rouge, seeing the Rebellion car just loose control so quickly shows the nature of the surface and the challenge facing the drivers. I suppose it's what makes this race such a challenge - you're not just racing the opposition drivers, your own fatigue and the weather and atmosphere - you are racing the track and all of it's foibles. This will be my first full 24hrs this year, I look forward to it with interest!

I'll stick around for Qualy and this will also be my first 24 Le Mans race Can't wait for the race itself! The track is very bumpy, as at all around the corners that you guys stated. But that makes up the challenge and makes everything interesting!
EDIT: It doesn't seem to get raining... But the sky is getting dark.

I think i'll stick around for tonights qualifying too, though i've got an early start tomorrow morning and i'm tired, but i'm really physced up so I doubt i'd be able to get to sleep anyway. I need to pay for a months eurosport player first.

Lmao! Not sure what that's made me for the past few years...but I'll be resisting the lure of sleep as much as possible this year, the sight of top-level prototype and GT machinery flying through the night should keep me nicely awake

Haha, fantastic! Glad I'm not the only first-timer this year with the Le Mans shenanigens. I've caught parts of it before, but this'll be the first year that I'll be going flag-to-flag...or at least attempting to

Actually me too, last year but I caught on it right before the finish. That time Sebastian Bourdais was on his slow lap to the finish... We'll try but I'm very sure we'll succeed!!
