Good pics especially the first one.

Was the best Le Mans for me in ~10 trips. Weather, race, company. Smashed it.

Just going through my pics, but they're mostly of larking around rather than cars/race.

Was spotted at the Peage.....

WOW! What a weekend for our group of Canadians at Le Mans! Sadly, Porsche was looking really really good to them experience mechanical issues. Anyone know any details?

Engine failed in the 20 car I believe. Clear from the onboards that car had horrible front end handling issues with the car popoising visiously down the straights, which would explain the lack of ace when the engine was running ok

No 14 had gearbox issues apprently but at least managed to take the flag running (and was officially classified 11th, despite what you may see reported elsewhere)

Great pics! Tx for posting. What a weekend. It puzzles me that despite how new the hybrid tech is it appears to be traditional mechanical combustion engine and gearbox issues that stopped them in the end. On to the next race!

A Porsche win would have been amazing, but regardless is was a wonderful race and great to see 964 guys band together for the experience.

What's the story about the Baby Turbo? Did Porsche and other manufactures do exhibition laps with their former racers? Bonus.

My bro has pulled together this video from out trip down to Le Mans. Time lapse at the start worked suprisingly well:
