I'm Ready!

It's the one time of the year that I sit on my butt and  [popcorn] [drink] all day long, and watch racing for 24 hours...well, how ever many hours are shown on SPEED  >:(

I supplement with radio Le Mans when it's not on TV.

I wonder if this new speed2.com will have the entire 24 hour feed?

There or maybe ESPN3 (online aka espn.go).

My best friend, Price Cobb, raced on the factory Jaguar XJR12/Walkinshaw team out of England and won it in 1990! [thumbsup] My best memory of Le Mans is the time Ford won it in 1966 with the GT-40 MK II and finished 1-2-3 putting Ferrari on the trailer! [popcorn] [bow_down] A historic race by any means! [wine]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Speed and Speed.com will have the full 24 hour coverage sponsored by Corvette again like they did last year I do believe.

I also recommend www.radiolemans.com for commentary. They're simply the best when it comes to Le Mans coverage.

I don't understand the benefit of a hybrid race car?  When, if ever, does the electric motor click in?  In the video it sounds like the engine is engaged the entire time.

I'm not familiar with how Toyota's doing it, but generally....
A hybrid will, instead of using brakes to slow the car, use a generator to charge up a battery, and will then use that battery power to supplement speed or acceleration via an electric motor.

as cool sounding as the Toyota is, I think the Audi R18 will prevail unless some idiots out there start wrecking them off the course like last year

well...the E-Tron Quattro Hybrid didn't race last year...

the Ultra's were doing VERY well last year...so I expect similar results this year from them...unless ( as I said before) some idiot in a supporting class car like a Ferrarri makes a bonehead move or something like that....
