All TV cameras will be active for the FULL @24hoursoflemans in 2015 - first time ever we believe

About damn time.

So assuming Fox doesn't have some lame ass Sports coverage excuse to transfer coverage over to Payware 2 Fox Sports 2 (which they probably will), this should be enjoyable.

 

[IforceV8]

Better than that the WEC stream should be working all night.

Is it possible to buy the eurosport (app/ player?) being in the U.S.?

 

[GTP_Ingram]

If anyone is going to Le Mans this year, give me a shout! There's quite a few of us GTP-ers there, so it'd be nice to say hi

 

[AudiMan2011]

I reckon Le Mans will be even closer this year between the clever strategies of Audi and the pure ballistic speed of Porsche. Toyota seem to have gone backwards this year and I think Nissan will be the first to fall with their radical, but as yet unproven FF LMP.

It's fine building a car to cruise 6 hours, but going 4 times that is a different story.

Good luck to Nissan! 👍

Its Nissans first year. If they finish thats a miracle. Toyota hasnt even ran their a LM package. They say it will be a big swing from the regular car just for Le Mans. Cant wait!

I do hope all 3 Nissans complete the race in good form.

I hope they do back that statement up at the official test day.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Just got this on my facebook feed. What a joke, ACO, what a joke you guys are, with your dumb political correctness you put aspiring models out of a two day job, and at the same time you endorse this stupidity!

Beautiful women can walk the passerelle in a contest to see which is hotter (you get to vote if you want, so if you prefer to say that you vote on the most angelical and beautiful, please do )

...

They can't however walk into the grid.

Stupid ACO ...

 

[catamount39]

We found somebody stupider than IMSA....well done ACO.

 

[trustjab]

Theyre not talking about being fastest, just the aero package is noticeably different.

Test Day entry boasting 64 cars - couple ELMS cars and LMP3 bolster numbers.

 

[catamount39]

So glad the Corvette guys are using the numbers 63 and 64 again.

Nice to see a few teams dipping their toes in the water, if you will and drivers in it for the Experience Points taking part given some of the entries have up to 4 drivers.

Also unless I am mistaken, the laps they cover count towards the minimum (for rookies) that are required to "Qualify" them for taking part in the 24H?

 

[Furinkazen]

Excuse the double post, but here is an article off of DSC in Nissan about the benefits Nissans engineering path has for LM, oh and it could be 1600hp....

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Audi is gonna get this one. With #8, making di Grassi the first Brazilian to claim overall win at La Sarthe.

 

[Panoz]

Godzilla and snake.

I'm interested in seeing where the white works in on the livery. If it works in well enough with the blue, it might look quite nice.

Could possibly be a throwback to the old Calsonic livery.

It's a 1990 Blundell throwback livery, only on #21 though.

And now I know which Nissan I will cheer for in this race... It should be a really nice tribute car.

 

[Marc30599]

I don't watch much motorsports but this looks to be an interesting day in June

 

[Furinkazen]

Another look.

Interesting that the rear wing (which originally was not going to be on the car but drivers requested it) is obviously a "add on" part - it isn't part of the car which clearly has the full rear bodywork on.

KCMG are teaming up with the D'Station Super GT squad to run the #49 Oreca 03 that currently sits on the reserve list http://www.kcmg.com.hk/?p=5247.

Looks rather nice in these colours I have to admit

I saw a picture of the car sans stickers yesterday and I was like "who the hell are these guys"

I'm interested in the pace of the two LMP3 cars at test day.

EDIT: Kazuki's back!
