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

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

Why do I have a feeling that would end horribly?

Worrying lack of sponsors on those Rebellions...

They're running Rallycross liveries.

REBELLION Racing’s LMP1 cars will carry the World RX logo at Le Mans 24 Hours event as part of a cross-promotional activity between World RX and its new timing partner.

I expect them to keep Arctic Velvet and Eat The Ball.

I remember one of the pit reporters explaining the "Eat The Ball" sponsorship last year. Football shaped buns FTW.

 

[fortbo]

I've never been this hyped for Lemans in so long! I mean there is going to be 6 different P1 cars!

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.

By showing their car without a wing even though the Nissan has had one the whole time?

No, I know the GT-R always had a wing, I'm just saying it's rather ironic timing considering the picture of the "R92CP hommage" livery without a wing that was shown recently.

Guys, you are having a laugh right?

I love me some slight engrish

Also, pretty sure its a laugh with those GIANT output cords in the background

Worrying lack of sponsors on those Rebellions...

Considering this is a team owned by a watch company, I wouldn't be too concerned.

That picture is a lot older than you think. It was posted about a month ago. Well before Nissan unvieled their 'historic' livery.

Heres a nice pic of Koby next to the #1

Noted and appreciated. 👍

Also, it's good to see Koby back, ready for racing action.

Happy to see him back.

That shows he hasn't really lost a step since his injury. Good to hear. 👍

Caterham treated him like dirt which didn't help.

You must be thinking of Kazuki Nakajima

Haha, my mistake. Still, the rest of my point still stands. It's good to see Koby back, and I hope he does well in this race.

Looks like I be cheering on for Toyota.

Come to us.

 

[catamount39]

Hoping my boys at AMR can sweep GTE and win Pro and Am. But in Am I'm still rooting on the side for the Vette and Viper in Am.

Come to us.

Welcome to our Toyota team.

I cannot imagine this year can possibly be more crushingly disappointing than the #7 car retiring after being so dominantly quick in 2014. I still well-up thinking of it...

They treated every driver like dirt

But is it capable of winning the 24 hours of Slides?

 

[Panoz]

Like the chameleon it is, the ByKolles is now grey for Le Mans. Looks nice.

 

[Bo]

It's great to know they spend their money on paint rather than developing a remotely competent car.

 

[vrwmiaris]

+1 on toyota,they deserve a win in lemans,hope they made car way faster than the 2 wec rounds

Or vinyl wrap, which most race cars are now days.

I normally agree with you, but in this instance youre wrong. Did you not see the developments on the car post-Spa? They were testing new aero parts there alongside Strakka and Toyota among others.

Some new aero parts here and there aren't going to fix a fundamentally crap car.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I think the ByKolles is probably the best looking LMP in the WEC. White was nice enough but this new grey is pretty damn cool. The headlights are nice too.

So what should they do? Spend money trying to work with what they have or not even bother? Thats probably their only options, for now. A new chassis is off the table. If it isnt too much to purchase its definitely too late.

Porsche and Audi 3:20!
