I'm merely talking in my own Spa-going interests here.

I want to see a full field of cars when I'm there, dammit

I remember last year when I was talking to some Belgian dude at Eau Rouge Raidillon, which made me miss an epic pass on track...

Good news from Toyota. Confirmed for 3 more years in WEC, also committing on developing new technology for use from 2016.

Great.

Red is the new LMP1-white.

Yes.

Meh, those liveries for Le Mans ONLY. All white for WEC it seems. But they do move up to the 8mJ class.

Couldn't they make the white one yellow so they would have ze German flag, jawhol.

That pink tarmac seems to have fucked the white balance on everyone's straight-out-of-camera JPEGs as well ... [/photo geek]

Liking the different liveries, also makes them easier to tell apart during a race ... and the red and black ones are both better than the standard one.

Both the red and black livery versions seem to be last years cars while the white one is the 2015 spec machine.

Digging that red 919 big time

This year's Toyota looks pretty tight

Yup, noted that too.

The black one is the high nose one commonly seem on the promo photos alongside the GT car:

While the red one is the actual car that raced on Silverstone, Spa, Le Mans:

I much prefer the new design, aesthetically. It has the lower nose of the red car but it's thinner and more beautiful. And the same has to be said about the windscreen.

Great, now we have two good looking cars in LMP1

Testing has begun and they are already 2 seconds faster than last years test.

Last year: 1:41.289
Today: 1:39.028

338kph for porsche, pretty mega but also going to be lm spec unlike the Audi.
Oh and 8MJ.

05 impressive too, was quick with us on Tues but is sure to be quicker in the hands of kcmg. Can't imagine the dome or strakka will match it early on in the season but hope I'm wrong.

Down to 1:38.715.
