2023 Petit Le Mans

The race is just around the corner, and it looks to be a whopper, at this grid level there are 2.5 cars per 100ft of track. Although we did just lose one LMP3 to drop the entry to 53 cars. Going to be chaos no matter what with rain expected earlier in the week and a dry race day. Setups and performance over a stint may vary by quite a lot over the 10 hours.

The GTP championship is still up in the air and all of the expected contact throughout the field could play a factor. But most likely, the top 3 in the championship will be nose to tail after the second to last caution with 30 minutes to go.

There is a pretty good contingent of Tenths folks making the journey to Road Atlanta this week and we will try to keep y'all informed about the track conditions and general discourse of spectators standing in the rain for a couple of days

A reminder that Button and Rockefeller reunite in the #5 963. Woo, that might be our favorite. Other than Pfaff, obvs.

Is it bad to hope it is another P3?

Also, love this start from a few generations ago. But why does there have to be a person standing in the middle of the grid as the cars start off?

I’m going to show it to my kid once and then he can just tell me who everyone is. He can remember who is in each car and everything!

Or, he may be rubbish at it, but can tell me anything.

Shea breaking out cool stats, 264' per car on track with 52 cars. Comparison with F1 traffic, at COTA F1 would have to have 60 cars instead of 20, and they'll still cry traffic there

And Hindy being great starting coverage with thoughts of the voice of Road Atlanta Ed Conway passing
