Any news on live feeds yet?

I can't wait to see how the DeltaWing performs. I imagine there are going to be a lot of red faced people around the world that said it would never work.

I'm a little disappointed in the field this year. Big hit loosing Peugeot. I can't understand why the gte pro field is so small? Where is the BMW team (rahal )? I always thought there should not be a gt am class, but I guess they need those cars to fill the field. Will be a good race none the less- I went to the race last year and it was an awesome experience.

Too bad Peugeot abruptly canceled the 908 program, they were a tough team! Audi has 4 factory supported cars this year? I don't see how they could possibly lose that one.

Toyota's TS030 looks decent but lacks mileage. I think they crashed the only car they had early on and couldn't participate in a previous endurance race at Spa. And their line-up is full of ex F1 drivers who generally don't do so well at la Sarthe.

In LMP2 my money's on Nissan

And I expect the 458s to dominate GTE-Pro.

Correct. The manufactuers say they're committed to GT but, as Pro/Am split has shown, they're only too happy to have the world's "Gentleman Racers" write the check to campaign the cars.

BMW's focus is now on DTM, at the cost of both LeMans and their WTCC programs.

Read Alan McNish's comments this morning regarding the new Toyota. He's being very diplomatic and sportsmanlike, but the car's performance on the official test day was nothing to sneeze at. Unlikely they can unseat Audi in their first try, so let's hope Toyota doesn't repeat the humiliating mistake of 1999 when, after dominating all weekend and then breaking with only 2 1/2 hours left to go, they pulled the plug on the program and stayed away until this year.

I don't think this can be compared with the ultimate humiliation suffered last year by Peugeot when their obviously-faster-than-the-Audi assault, with three cars running at the finish, was still defeated by the one Audi which had not suffered a horrendous crash.

Regards to all.

Lizards are NOT running Pro, they're running Am.

Spencer is kicking butt and comfortably clear of the the others in class.

There's one car in Pro and one in Am. They just replaced Darren Law with Patrick Pilet in the Am car last week which is great!

Thanks, Darren and now Patrick, as well as Spencer are teamed with Seth in the Am category. I saw that because they've led both first practice and first qualifying.

Missed the FL Pro entry because I'm rooting for the Ferraris, Aston and Vette's!
