I wonder if Porsche is sandbagging.

They did say they didn't do qualification runs, while Toyota apparently did. Toyota still probably has the upper hand.

There's no BoP benefit in sandbaggning anymore in P1 since the adjustment is done only once a year now and that's after Le Mans.

Really nice sound, and not like the tame sound in recent years.

LM couldn't have come at a worse time for me this year; I have a solid 110-115 essays that need to be corrected this week. I also need to set final grades by Monday. Might not be quite as involved as I have been in previous years, but I will watch as much as I can.

Will make a write-up with pre-race thoughts though, as is tradition.

I've been up since 8am yesterday, barring a 40min kip on the ferry. 550 miles driven, 7 days of camping ahead. God I love Le Mans. Looking forward to reading your pre-race thoughts, Esben. One year we'll get you here!

It was cheap and available. An emergency beer for setting up the tent. Drinking Kronenbourg now. Not that that's much better. But €8 for 18 tins...

You need a bigger tent that you can stand up in, those ones are a bugger to get dressed in :lol:

We might do, I did it in 2014 and it was great, just really busy. Did the pit walk this afternoon, after I'd had a power nap in the sun.

Just had 6 spicy red sausages; what's the worst that could happen? Image

I love Le Mans, but this is the least excited I have been for the race in years.

However, I will still be watching the race. #goToyota
