LeMans 2012

Right, who's going to watch (parts) of this years (presumably les exciting than last years) 24 hours race around the Circuit de la Sarthe?

I'm still not entirely decided, as it's essentially a week-end lost, unless you're actually there, but still it would be interesting to see whether Toyota can come close to replacing Peugeot. And whether the tricycle can keep up with LMP2.
And while reporting on the GTE classes is usually a bit slower, while everybody watches the LMP1 make their rounds, it's always interesting to see what happens there.

Will Ferrari's keep removing Audis from the race? Will the hybrid Audi keep up with the proven diesel? Was it a good decision to run that lonely Porsche on Pirellis?

I should probably go there next year, who knows how long I'll still be living in France...If only the costs weren't so exorbitant...
Still, this is the music festival experience, only for people smelling of oil instead of people smelling of herbs...

Also, some teams run live-cams on their car (audi last year, and a corvette as well).
radiolemans is another place to be this weekend.
 
After meeting some of the Audi guys at the Petit LeMans I'm a huge fan! I'm sure guys from the other teams are just as nice.

Other teams / cars:
Aston Martin Racing
Flying Lizard Motorsports
HPD ARX-03b

Saw the "Road to Le Mans" 1hr special on speed, showing Toyota's development of their lmp1 hybrid. As hypocritical as it sounds with my 'hybrids suck' mentality, watching it compelled me to root for Yota's hybrid underdog.

Looking forward to the race 😀
