Porsche 1-2-3 in qualifying. P2 for the Hulk, great effort.

Does anyone know when the race starts tomorrow?

The race is tomorrow? But a great job by the Porsche's, they're looking really good this season.

Yup, I just saw on the WEC site it's on 15:30 here so I guess it's 13:30 for you guys?

Hah, exactly what happened to Button in FP1  happened to the Audi :p

[MBKF1 91]

Great race! Not sure how many of you watched it but the battle for 1st place with a couple of hours to go was great. Some quality overtakes and Le Mans should be epic.

Watch this video and put on the automatic captions, they're quite funny :p

A lot of good ones such as:
Audi and Porsche | anti-abortion
Kevin Estre | Kevin ashtray
ELMS | pls
The Porsche's pushed | the porch is pushed
Into La Source to take the lead | nice almost to take the ladies
Kemmel Straight | Cattle straight
Managing | mother Jean
Gimi Bruni | Jimmy brainy
A tyre got loose | attire got lace
Two and a bit stints | to at the pit stains

As Matt said, a cracking race! So many people had reliability issues out of nowhere, if that was a 24 hours race there would be more chances an LMP2 car would win :p

For a second I thought we're going to have a head-to-head duel for 1st in the final hour, but sadly that was not the case. Amazing race to watch though. Really glad they opened the new racing channel this weekend.

Was a good race at Spa, team Audi proved by running longer before their final stop that they were guaranteed first over there nearest rival Porsche who short stinted.

Sorry it's taken so long to get some photos up from when I went to Silverstone, but here's some images!











This last one is a blend of the Audi, Porsche and Toyota, just a little experiment.

And people complain about the liveries in F1 ;)

[MBKF1 91]

I'll be honest, the Toyota looks better on track than the pictures make it out to be. I don't know what it is about it, it just looks fast :p

I prefer the Porsche and the Audi.

Nice one Matt! By the way this year for the first time I'll attempt to watch the entire 24 hours of Le Mans.

I find the WEC liveries look better than F1.
