It's wild to not see Corvette racing team there for the first time in how man years?
Time to sign up for a free 7-day trial!
Our flight leaves tonight, we will be there tomorrow afternoon.
Tuned in on Max just in time to see Ben Keating miss a tire wall by about two feet. Go Ben.

Sounds like there was 23.75 inches of space left.

Sorry I forgot it was France so he missed it by 60.325 cm.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
How many baguettes is that?
In reply to earlybroncoguy1 :
apparently about 1 baguette 😂

Reading up on that some, they will lend heavy support to TF Sport's two car Corvette team. Which seems to be in the form of engineers, and not drivers.
Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe 2024 – Le Mans, Race 1 it's be a interesting race so far

I read up on that too. Not the same as seeing the iconic yellow liveries and their driver lineup.
But also cool to see that Caddy was second in qualifying despite being behind the curve most of the WEC season. We also have the Mustang and Corvette in 1 & 3 respectively in GT3.
- Was the Porsche armada sandbagging?
- Was really surprised to see BMW on top.
- Peugot brought out the diesel 505 from the 80s to power their hypercar. (Also RIP to the diesel LMPs that were cut short because of VW).
Am I reading the schedule wrong or does the 24hr field get like 10 hours of open practice time? I'd be curious to see the teams' approach to having that much time avaiilable vs. the hour or two total at someplace like Daytona.
IT's a lot of practice time but the cars all seem to be out there taking advantage of it. I guess it gives all the drivers lots of time on track and running in traffic.
FP3 is on right now until 12 pm EST
Hyperpole happens at 2 pm EST today and should be fun to watch.
If you are looking for a stream on the high seas google "Lord Latifi Streams" and you should find something
Looks like rookies also have to meet a minimum drive time requirement before they are approved to race. And since there's only one race a year at LeMans their only opportunity is race weekend.

I'll keep that in mind whenever i get to race there.

Don't forget about the time that teams get at the Roar.

Yeah good point. The Roar used to be an optional, preseason test opportunity and now it's a whole official thing. I do sort of miss seeing the cars run around in bare carbon fiber bodywork, though.
Kevin's Pole lap, on edge everywhere, very impressive.
Anyone know of a feed or a replay for the Fun Cup races? My YouTube searches are coming up empty save for a few phone clips.
Maybe the streaming mentioned earlier by adam525i
Also the porsches were totally sandbagging. Great lap by Estre but that was out of nowhere.
JOTA Sport Porsche #12 exists again. Heroic work of mechanics. Today there was a wet shakedown at the airport, tomorrow a warm up and then to the race.

If they were sandbagging, there would have been more than just one Porsche in Hyperpole.
We're having a great time. So cool to be here.
In reply to Sonic :
Thats awesome! I've stopped by there years ago and was lucky enough they were running some sort of HPDE type event on the grand prix circuit, can't hardly imagine the full race day(s).
