The Le Mans General Discussion Thread

[Shoe67]

Sorry, not changing my avatar from the Mark IV. Keeping this since day one. However I am pulling for Audi and I will go on an outside chance with Vipers. 👍 They will need a lot of good luck as well as bad luck for the Corvettes and Ferraris.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I have updated my avatar accordingly.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Speaking of which, we've done this last couple years on GTP - how about we change avatars to show who we are supporting - already done mine and the profile page

I have done so for a year now

Beautiful shot, to bad it's the GT1 car

Had to see if he there were any more. Yup.

Found his site, as well: http://gabor-vida.artistwebsites.com/art/all/le+mans+dunlop+bridge+sunset/canvas+prints

From the description they're drawings.

I need to change my avatar over this week in support of you know who

I really wanted this one but not so sure if possible to do it...

While on art, this photographer has some impressive Le Mans work as well: http://www.davedaviesracing.com/ . He also has a deviant art page: http://daveayerstdavies.deviantart.com/gallery/1031218 .

This one's called, "Zytek hits gravel."

To support Toyota, I'll be typing in dark blue until Le Mans.

It'll sorta look like a real picture in avatar size.

pm me so I can figure out how.

 

[Sertsa]

Maybe this will work? You should be able to copy and save it. If you don't want to do that, I just saved the image, cropped it to be a little more square than changed the longest side to 100 pixels.

Got my avatar that I totally didn't steal from anyone.

Made me laugh. 👍

Your a thief! Didn't bothered asking permission..

Looks like this forum is rather one sided when it comes to LMP1 and GTE-Pro.

 

[Kakarot]

Dont need to change mine 👍

 

[Snaeper]

Good to be among fellow P1 enthusiasts!

If it's saved to your computer and you upload it in the change avatar section it'll automatically re-size. 👍

They did two 25 hour test last year... They were both retired from the 24 hours of Le Mans before the 12 hours mark. I predict Toyota will barely win, if everyone has the perfect race. If Toyota has even pproblems, Audi will win. If they both have problems... then well idk. Here's the odds that I give them

Toyota: 9/20 = 45% chance
Audi: 10/20 = 50% chance

Rebellion: 4.5/100 >4.5% chance

Other: 0.5/100 <0.5% chance (Mclaren F1 GTR, 1995; All of the LMPs broke down)

Toyota never ran faultlessly through an endurance test (24hrs +) at this stage last year. They have done at least 2 or 3 with no reliability issues so far in 2013.

In the red corner, we have Yukon and Rossington, supporting Audi all the way!

In the blue corner, supporting Toyota... the rest of GTP.

Add Shoe67 to the list of Audi supporters 👍

3 Days till the start.

Shame they don't start like they use to.

I've never been great at maths but I do believe we're outnumbered!

 

[Furinkazen]

Corvette fans everywhere

 

[phil bell]

With good reason

Would live to see the Viper guys do well but hope the Vettes take it!

 

[cnd01]

Too lazy to change avatar, but I'll support Audi.

I'm onboard with Audi too, I just care about GTE a lot more

I'm leaving for Le Mans tomorrow, someone brought me a grandstand seat worth a lot of money but I'm looking to sit on the back straight on the grass at 4am with my bottle of whisky and enjoy the sound of them beasts hitting 200 MPH

Going to be a great weekend

In the GT battle, I don't really have a particular team I'm rooting for, although I would like to see AFCorse and Manthey do well.

17:46 Porsche meanwhile starts brightest in GTE Pro, claiming first and third courtesy of the #92 and #91 Manthey 911s. Splitting them is the #71 AF Corse Ferrari 458.

Hey, looks like they're listening! 👍

Have a safe journey! I'll be heading off early friday morning. Hopefully the weather will stay fairly decent too.

Back at ya'.

I'm hoping for a bit of rain even though I'm packing 100% shorts . Would love to see the cars driving around in the mist.

Anyone know how to get cometary when at the track? I'm trying to find a mini FM radio but I also need to find out the station.
