2016 24 Hours of Le Mans
It is finally race week for the 84th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. If you are reading this forum then you already know what kind of epic battle we will have at the sharp end of the field between Audi, Toyota, and Porsche. The factory teams haven't shown impecable reliability so far this season, but is that enough for Rebellion or ByKolles to reach the podium? This is the best chance they will have had in years with only 2 cars entered from each factory.
LMP2 features 23 cars and many of them have a chance at victory. Nissan will be powering 20 of those cars and (a different) 20 will run Dunlops with the remaining cars on Michelins. The Garage 56 Entry will also be a modified LMP2. The GT classes will be mega with Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette, Aston Martin and newcomer Ford joining the party. It is the 50th anniversary of Fords first Le Mans win. I bet they would like to make that with another win! BOP has been a constant source of discussion already this year with numerous tweaks being made. However, the race will likely be messy and play out in a way the changes in BOP couldn't have predicted. I hope everyone has a great Le Mans week, the on track action will not disappoint!

Predictions for how many pages this thread will have by the time the checkered flag drops? How many did we have last year?

Thanks for the intro.
I always look forward to Le Mans, it really is a truly great event and much more than just a motor race. I've been a few times but not this year. It was either Le Mans or Indy but Indy won. The only downer is the clash with the Baku GP. I would like to have seen Hulkenberg get the chance to defend last year's win but unfortunately not. Otherwise, roll on the weekend. |

Not forgetting of course the chat room always takes a beating this time of year - I'm sure all the usual suspects will be in offering sage words ��
