It also contains an extremely cringe-worthy crash.

It also contains an extremely cringe-worthy crash.

It's still completely acceptable, as neither of the drivers died. I still have all respects for Memo Gidley.

 

[LancerEvo7]

There are a lot more fitting crashes that could go there.

There are a lot more fitting crashes that could go there.

That's why I called it "Endurance Racing Driver" rather than "Le Mans Driver". After all, that crash happened in the USCC.

 

[Ninners]

The crash still haunts me....

Looks like a days worth of work for a Belgian

2 days actually, and paid by the hour!

The Vipers have gone from La Sarthe.

Well that's a shame, those Vipers look great and it was good to see them back at La Sarthe last year. On a bit of a tangent here, but had everything gone to plan for Chrysler (regarding sales, as mentioned in the article), would have there been a customer car program at all, was that ever mentioned anywhere? It would've been nice to see a few more running in Europe. I also wonder what this means for the GT3 car program.

8 (!) AF Corse-backed Ferrari's for the ELMS.

A darn shame, there car looks great and would love to see them in Le Mans instead of USCC.

 

[Azure Flare]

Not trying to make a conspiracy out of it, but it would be some 🤬 if Ferrari had something to do with putting a stop to the Viper racing at Le Mans.

Nice car . Did wish Strakka continued racing in P1 though .

R18 E-Tron livery being revealed right now:

[R0ssingt0n]

Kinda disappointed its white, at least they haven't put silly writing over it like Porsche.

 

[Furinkazen]

I like.

 

[Jawehawk]

I thought Audi was running it with the nice black livery...
This is just plain ugly.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

The livery is dull and the car looks very small. I don't like the front bit either. The old one is much more beautiful and proportional, IMO.

Looks like LMP1 is trying to beat F1 cars in uglyness.

 

[MatskiMonk]

It's not a bad looking car, but I'm not a fan of the livery.

[ProjectWHaT]

I really liked last year's white one. But I think I'll get use to this one very quickly.

 

[LongbowX]

Two LMP1 cars in variations of white, black, grey with red splotches. How exciting. The Porsche is even more boring though. At least Audi tried a little.

 

[RACECAR]

Surprised to see Audi break out of the mostly White theme they had going on. I think it looks great.

Not trying to make a conspiracy out of it, but it would be some 🤬 if Ferrari had something to do with putting a stop to the Viper racing at Le Mans.

Pretty sure Fiat has the final word in that and not Ferrari.

 

[Wardez]

Looks awesome, but similar to the Porsche. Kind of cool in a way, going to be like watching brothers fighting it out.

Reminds me of the movie Warrior for some reason, check it out if you haven't seen it, brilliant film.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Now all we need is for Toyota to come up with a white car and the blandness at the sharp end of the grid will be complete.

 

[RACECAR]

I'm gonna guess you hate white? The Audi isn't even mostly white while the Porsche is literally just a white car with lettering on it.

 

[Hun200kmh]

White is nice, but white with some random letters or stripes thrown over it does NOT make a livery.

This is a white based livery. And it's truly sad that we never saw it race ... not because it was a beauty, but it being a beauty wasn't bad either:

 

[Tired Tyres]

I'm gonna guess you hate white? The Audi isn't even mostly white while the Porsche is literally just a white car with lettering on it.

Nope. White is fine for one car but too many cars like that is too much.

 

[TheCracker]

It's going to be pretty hard to distinguish the Porsche from the Audi, especially when they've all got some road-dirt on them.
