^How does one do that?

Starting Grid is in. Peugeot 1-2-3.

Summary.

Peugeot 1-2-3, Audi 4-5,7
Charouz Lola-Aston Martin is 6th, which is very commendable for a brand new prototype.
And also, never-raced Dome-Judd S102 is at 8th place.

Van Merksteijn Motorsport's Porsche RS Spyder leads the LMP2 class at 14th overall. And the Radical-AER prototype's doing horribly as usual. From 14th place to 31st, it's a mash of random LMP1 and LMP2 cars.

#63 Corvette is the fastest GT1 car. (Wooooooh, go Ron Fellows!!!) And surprisingly, second fastest GT1 car is the Larbre Saleen S7R. The third car is the #64 Corvette, and the 009 and 007 Gulf-liveried Aston Martins start behind it. I wish the 007 car could win Le Mans, but 009's always driven by more experienced drivers, so oh well.

IMSA/Matmut Porsche's the number one GT2 car. Top Ferrari starts two places behind it. It doesn't look very good for Mika Salo in the #62 F430. They are having a bad year so far.


Some interesting things.

It seems like closed cockpit prototypes have an advantage. (dur)

There's going to be an Ickx on La Sarthe again, with Jackie's daughter, Vanina. It's not her first time doing this, so she'll be fine.

Poor Spyker's wallowing in bottom 4. But if they finish, it'll still be something to be happy about.

Judd's supplying engines to so many race teams, so good that they're thinking of putting one in a road car.

The worst performing prototype, let alone an LMP1 car, is at 41st place. And it's entered by Tokai University. A University! Why? I mean it's cool and all, but that's a serious waste of money. They're running a proven chassis Courage-Oreca, paired with engine from a company no one's ever heard of, YGK. So yeah... Good luck to them.

Speedchannel is showing the race starting at 7:30 tonight. Its 11:30 in the morning right now. Race starts at as I remember 4:00 pm Le Mans time. Which would be about 8:00 am here. So I guess its not live on the Speed Channel, so I better not read anymore here.

There's no spoilers... yet. It's not like it's going to change anything?

[HeilSvenska]
