Just two days until one of my top ‘bucket list’ events – the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s right up there with Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, and the Indy 500. Unfortunately Peugeot pulled out of sports car racing months ago, so the awaited re-re-match of Audi v Peugeot won’t happen, but it will be interesting to see how Toyota fares.
The GTE battles should be awesome once again. Corvette, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Porsche all have competitive cars and teams.
For those looking to get up to speed on the pre-race situation – including class and team previews – head on over to Radio Le Mans and listen to some of their excellent podcasts. Also, the differences in driver classifications and how this relates to the GTE-Am and GTE-Pre classes can be a bit confusing. The folks at Radio Le Mans have posted a very clear and concise driver classification table here.
