No. With 35 GTs taking the start we will need all the help we can get telling them apart. |

I wouldn't mind 4 factory liveried Porsches if the livery wasn't made by a failed art student making concept art. Porsche need to hire a designer who has seen a race car in action before and start designing for the track, rather than promotional material.

Or maybe invert the liveries like CGR used to do with their Grand Ams. Have the European cars with one livery and the US cars with another.

Uhh..the factory livery for Porsche going back to 2017, including the 919 that year is pretty darn good. The one before that from 2014-2016 was garbage though. This one is simpler that does not try to write out a word, and represents the shape of the Porsche logo. Also like the distinguished shape of Porsche cars. I've gotten used to all of the GT factory liveries now. Accept for Aston Martin, they should have stuck with the green or the gulf colors. Not into that daglow yellow.

The pink one was memorable (probably the only thing I remember about GTE from last year) but other than that and the 2015 919 LM oneoffs, they've been pretty boring and sterile

We won't be mistaking the Keating Ford for a works car. Looking forward to seeing this.

If the entries are getting 80 applicants for 60 slots, is it possible to have a support race for the entries which don't make it? Drop the Ferrari/Porsche challenge stuff, drop the historics. Take some of the LMP3s from the Road to Le Mans race. Put LMP2, LMP3 and whatever GTE/GT3s you have for a 2 hour race on Le Mans morning.

Interesting thought.
I guess for some it is 24 hours or nothing (funding, or care factor), but it could be a goer. |

The current RTLM format is stupid because no-one outside the circuit can see the first Thursday race. The spec race slot for rotating Ferrari/Porsche/AMR also seems like wasted space |

The Porsches are actually good to watch, the Ferraris a little less so, but the Aston's are just stunningly dull.

Yeah I think the first year the Festival was held, I didn't look at all who the drivers were, and wondered why some of the GT2 and GT3 cars made the GT1s look like GT4s in comparison... lol
Last year they had those special Vulcans, but it seemed a bit like marketing exercise to have them dominating the homologated cars |

Yep, I thought exactly that too - but then I only watched about 5 minutes of their practice and very little else....

Well hopefully it’ll be good. It’s a good idea. Hope the Ferraris and the Porsches are good enough before it returns in 2021

At least the Ferraris are nice and quiet on Saturday morning.

Perhaps one year they'll get the Jaguar I-Pace Trophy for silent treatment
