83rd Running Of The Le Mans 24 Hours - 13/14 June 2015.

Do we have any confirmation that Nissan will be running the rear wing at Le Mans, and if so, will it be on all of their cars? I'd expect them to do so, but stranger things have happened at sea.

I believe it has been said that whilst Nissan wanted the car to be wingless originally, and it can be, drivers are more confident with it 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 thought for a split-second that the car was a ESM team car. But jokes aside, it looks rather pleasing in my eyes, and it'll be interesting to see how will this "Hybrid" (as in two different teams running the same car) team perform.

4 Gulf Astons, the red one is in the back of the pic.

Aston Martin pron. Look at those beauties!

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.

Having seen the car on day 1 of it rolling, it's had the rear wing the whole time. I assume it's separate so that it's easily changeable in an accident.

Saw this yesterday. Great to see a Kondo liveried P2.

Holy **** it looks so good in red and in black.

Leading on from this, the #97 won't race as it is above, but will be in a special Art Car Livery.

Yes! I can't wait to see what it looks like!

Well, they ran something on Twitter a few months back inviting people to have their usernames put on a car for Le Mans, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that.

The black is bada:censored:s, the red is just beautiful. Much better than the white 918, good job Porsche. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

They should have used the purple from the 991 GT3 RS.

It's going to be a colorful P1 grid for Le Mans, no whiteouts this year.

And thank the Based Sarthe God for that, it'll be much easier to tell these cars apart. Still, I'll get a spotter guide to aid just because.

 

[Panoz]

This beauty and the retro-scheme Nissan are the standouts so far in my book. I'm hoping the Aston art car be a looker like the 2013 version was.

The 2013 Aston Martin art car was just...AWESOME.

I will be honest and say that I am not really a fan of the red Porsche 919. Black is my favourite followed closely by white but the red does nothing for me.

Nissan setting the bar very high for themselves

'We will be faster then LMP2s'

If it can be faster than the ByKolles, and lasts longer than the ZEOD RC, I'll call that a victory.

 

[Furinkazen]

If it can be faster than the ByKolles

That's not hard.

Rolling Stone ESM Ligier.

I know that much, really. But still, if not a single GTR finishes, while a ByKolles does, that'd be a bit embarassing for Nissan...

Also, that Ligier looks surprisingly bada:censored:s.

Guys, you are having a laugh right?

I'm laughing at that English mistake, yes; isn't that supposed to be "sneak" and not "speak"?

Also, Toyota already taking jabs at Nissan before the race has even started, the funny sods.

 

[Bo]

I want a P1 team in the next couple of years to take the plunge.

 

[Furinkazen]

Some Rebellion sexiness.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Worrying lack of sponsors on those Rebellions...
