At least they're trying something different! P3 looks like an interesting class...
I like short, simple signatures!

That was pretty awesome. I follow V8's with a semi-passing interest (I can only watch highlight videos here in the States). What was really impressive was that Volvo has had a much better debut than Nissan or Mercedes (which haven't seen much success yet), beating out one of the top drivers in the top team for a 2nd place finish, and certainly holding it's own.

Loic Duval crashed at Sarthe... The car is pretty much obliterated (I'm very speechless) but thankfull the driver is fine, although he has scratches... The worst thing is Duval will not able to race and Audi has to find his replacement. I hope that Audi, as a reigning LM winner, has a trick up on its sleeves.

Marc Gené will take Duval's place.

The only thing that Audi can do is keeping their cars out of trouble, although I think that it wouldn't be enough.
It looks like that we will see the first non-polemic win by a Japanese¹ manufacturer!

It was no longer recognizable as a car! Horrific crash. Amazing he walked away. That car looked really really really bad.

Forget about it! Toyota is using some sort of active brake bias, which was deemed illegal and then legal one day after, and movable wings which are still illegal according to the Technical Regulations.
A interesting discussion is going on here.
It is a shame Toyota is still playing dirty... :(

...and the race was amazing!
When it comes to 24 hours races Audi still got the upper hand.
Not the best return for Porsche, comparing it with Peugeot. Lets see how they will perform in the following years.

Can't wait for the next five 6 hours races now :goodvibes:

Do you even watch, bro? Porsche did very well! They were even leading. If they didn't have bad oil pressure, Porsche #20 may has won ;)
