I've finally decided to open a thread for that one, because I believe it will prove to be another classic, after LM24, Sebring12 and PLM10...
The nature of the track, (in this high speed configuration with the full mistral straight), the duration of the race, and the quality of the field, it seems to have the potential to bring "a little more" than an average LMS race.
*note: entry list is pasted from planetlemans.com. credits to them.
Note that in LMS the FLM cars are ranked as LMP2s (in ALMS they're on their own class: LMPC), so the LMP2 field is looking great mostly because it's artificially extended.
Obviously a lot of people are looking forward to this race as a first confrontation between the revised R15 "plus" and the private 908 of Oreca. The presence of Stephane Sarrazin at the wheel of the Oreca to assist Panis and Lapierre make them looks quite serious, but Audi bring it's aces for that one, so they are the clear favorites! Don't forget that petrol cars should be much more of a threat this time, so keep a eye on everyone in P1, a surprise could come from lots of teams!
As for myself, well, I'm packing my bag right now... I should be at the track saturday, so I leave you with the "great coverage from eurosport". Sorry for the teasing, but joke appart, I fear you're going to have trouble to catch a stream for that one (If it's like last year coverage you're going to cry...)
Anyway, I'm planning to shoot the race as much as possible with my camera, I promise to share it here when I'm returning, or even during the week end if I have the oportunity to connect myself.
Good week end everyone!
