The key piece of news from the DSC article is that the race will be streamed on the Peter Auto channel on Youtube, so some rare good news for those of us not attending.

Yes, some cracking entries, it'll sound amazing trackside, but I have to say I'm (personally) a little disappointed not to see an Aston Lola, a Peugeot 908 or the Toyota GT-One that featured in one of the ACO photos promoting this race on their website and was spotted out testing a couple of months or so ago.

Highlights for me will be seeing 'Shorty' having an outing in his Dallara and Manu Collard in the Porsche GT1.

I know, some people are just never happy...

Has there ever been a support race at Le Mans where the fastest lap was quicker than the fastest lap in the 24 hours?

What sort of times have the Group-C cars done in the past?

Probably the Group C cars were quite quick in the straight, maybe not so good round the corners

GCCheddaris should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The quickest Group C cars in the last two runnings of the Le Mans Classic lapped in the mid 3:50 bracket, a competitive time for a GTE Am class car and a long way off the 3.19 laps of the Toyotas and Rebellion in last year's Le Mans 24 Hours.

Plus they tend to have money rather than talent driving! Or old talent.

In their heyday - with top drivers aboard the Bentley had a fastest race lap of 3:35, the Rollcentre Dallara about a 3:39 - albeit on marginally different track

I quoted the Group C lap times as Truckosaurus had asked what times Group C cars had set in the supporting races or Le Mans Classic races. In period the quickest Group C fastest lap (post 1989 circuit with chicanes on the Mulsanne) was set in the 1993 race by the fourth place Toyota with a time of 3:27.47.
