I would really like to see privateers beating Toyota on per lap basis, but in the long run (stint length, tires, strategy) odds will still be in favor of Toyota.
I think they're going to be close together on pace. What I'm thinking is that the pit stops will be the difference. I would really like to see them both run the same stint length but if Toyota has a lap advantage there's no reason to not take it. They'll probably be doing quadruple stints on tires with the reduced amount of laps. At least that's possible, but with tire changes allowed during refueling maybe they decide to reuse sets later in the race? I can't wait to see what they have planned. The test day will probably put up more questions than it answers. That's part of the appeal of these next few weeks.

As the branding says, it's their 70th anniversary.

Audio coverage only for Test Day (as usual).

I like the Porsche 'brickwork' and how they've put wood effect vinyl on the tool chests.

Do you think it is too much to ask that they do a retro livery on at least one of the race cars?

An honest engineer!

"It is highly unlikely any cars will show their true pace as the BoP (Balance of Performance) can be adjusted between the test and the race. All the manufacturers are hoping to keep what they have or get a BoP advantage for the race week."

I like that Proton livery much more than 4 of the same from the factory. I would have liked to see an inverse sceme, or something different all together, on two of the cars.

Some food looking Protos in the field. I really like the looks of the SMP cars. Now if speed only equaled looks....

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!

Porsche have just wheeled out the 91 & 92 cars in Rothmans and PinkPig liveries.

I'm sure I'll take roughly 2000 photos of these cars during Le Mans week. Kudos to Porsche. Wish Ford would do the same.

Looking at the Accuweather app on my telephone there appears to be a 47-52% chance of Precipitation during the day tomorrow.
