24 Hours of Le Mans 2011

I wonder why there isn't a topic of this already. :huh: THE RACE IS ALMOST HERE!!

Anyway, it's almost time for the most legendary motorsport event of all time! The 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans (24 Heures du Mans 2011) will be the 79th Grand Prix of Endurance, taking place on June 11–12, 2011 at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France, and organised by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). This year the defender of last year's victory is Audi #1 with Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Mike Rockenfeller.

2011 will mark the first major revisions in Le Mans regulations since 2007, with significant changes on both the Le Mans Prototype category (LMP) and the Grand Touring category (GT). The former GT2 class becomes the sole production-based category in 2011, renamed as GT Endurance category and will be separated into two subclasses, GTE Amateur (GTE Am) and GTE Professional (GTE Pro), with a trophy each class.

Here's the entry list: http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/1/1 ... nvites.pdf
Interesting to see how Ben ''The Stig'' Collins performs :p

Another interesting thing in my point of view is also the performance of the new (hidious) Audi R18 against the Peugeots in Sarthé...

Brings back memories. I had a great time here last year, and the Le Mans 24h will always be something special for me. :)

I gotta go there next year. It's basically the last major motorsport event left in my country, and I've never even been to a race yet. Anyway, busy weekend for me so I won't be following it much, but I'll be hoping that Audi can give Peugeot a fight that doesn't end up in the latter blowing up their engines like last year. ;)

Yeah, thanks icy :)

And of course I guess we all would be thankful if someone could link some streams during qualifying or before the race :O
