| Just back from France... made it to the 90th running of Le Mans: 
Open pits before race day, good chance to check out the cars close up: 
Tons of Nissan presence in the LMP2 class: 
Only Canuck entry, retired early in the race: 
Toyota Hybrid LMP1: 
Laughed at their motto: 
Of the 5 entered, only 2 finished, Alan Simonsen # 95 was killed in the first hour in a horrible crash:
And the all dominating: 
Historic LeMans winners from the last decades: 
Like an airplane cockpit: 
Only Japanese car to win LeMans and my fave: 
And the prize: 
In the village, big Nissan display: 
All electric Deltawing they may run next year: 
The future of racing?: 
TGIWednesday?: 
Ahem... on to the start of the race... couple of warmup races. First the Historics:
Some VERY nice entries: 
And the Ferrari 458 race: 
Ah those French fans, c'est craaaaaazy: 
And onto the main event: 
Last minute Michelin Man pep-talk: 
Oh and: 
For Ric: 
.... and GO! 
I went to bed, been up for a day and a half. Came back the next morning, Toyota had broken into the Audi 123 lead and split it up. Audi battle scars: 
This Ferrari hit a LMP2 car leaving the pits and spun it, car checked out OK... typical Italian driver: 
Despite a valiant effort by Toyota, Audi hung on to win 1st by one lap, followed by Toyota and the other Audi's. Nissan powered LMP2 cars took the top 5 spots in their class, Porsche 911 RSR's took the ProAM class. Everyone on the track: 
Few of these went down well: 
Oh and what about a LMP1 entry for Porsche?
Awesome race, back for next year for sure.
Cheers,
  
MY Zs ARE HYBRID VEHICLES, THEY RUN ON
GASOLINE AND MONEY
