The city beautiful
Sweet. I have Motortrend on Sling, bring on the 24 hours.

Le Mans weekend is honestly the best sports weekend of the year. It almost always coincides with a major world soccer tournament (Women's World Cup and Copa America this year). Good-bye sleep.

Excellent OP, ED.

Is this going to be live streamed?
There have been live streams in the past from specific teams, but not the official broadcast coverage. The WEC/Le Mans App does have live streaming without commentary using the official broadcast feed.

In Europe, Eurosport covers the whole 24 Hours.

Unfortunately, coverage of Le Mans outside of Europe is pretty limited.

Do we know who will join to the GT1/ hypercar category next year?

SC365 reports that announcements from Aston Martin and Toyota are forthcoming:

It's understood that Aston Martin, with its road-going Valkyrie hypercar, is expected to formally announce its commitment to the class this week, alongside Toyota, which is currently developing a prototype-based Hypercar with hybrid power.


Despite utilizing a hybrid system on its road car, Aston's Valkyrie is expected to run as a non-hybrid.

Glickenhaus should also be there with the SCG 007

I'm in the USA and finding any coverage of the 24H is... difficult.

tbh unless Toyota break down, you're looking at the other classes for actual competition.

I forgot Le Mans was this weekend. Guess I know what my weekend plans are.

In all honesty I'd watch that, like a couple years ago when we risked an LMP2 winning overall. Have the Toyotas suffer MAJOR car trouble, lose like 90 minutes or something, then see them push insanely hard for the entire 24 hours in the hopes that they can get the leaders back.

Not gonna happen but it would be entertaining at least. As it stands, the Toyotas can lap several seconds slower than required to save the car and still comfortably put several laps on the best LMP2.

2 in a row let's go. Hope the other Toyota wins this year. The top category will hopefully get a boost soon. GTs is where its at.

I just hope we can hear more details about the LMP1 replacement this week.

Hoping for Toyota trouble to have any interest in LMP1. Looks like the weather won't offer any help either.

Go! Go! Team Splatoon! Go! Go!

Rooting for the #1.
It would be a fantastic way for André Lotterer to get his fourth victory at Le Mans.

Rebellion's art car liveries aren't for everyone, but I like what they're doing with it. After the complaints a few years ago about how all the LMP1 cars looked the same livery-wise, it's refreshing.

One of my schoolmates drives for Aston Martin in the LMGTE, he actually won the class in 2017. Will be rooting for him again this year. Go Jonny go!

Does anyone know if the WEC/Le Mans app will be showing live coverage of practice and qualifying in addition to the race?

I'll be rooting for the Ford GT's again. I hope this isn't their final year at Lemans. I love the classic schemes of past winners for Ford at Lemans

Hyped for Le Mans to start! Which teams are doing onboard YouTube streams this year?
