How many of you will be watching this year with added interest considering Porsche's new entry. I hope they do well and we see so of the new concepts applied in the next generation 991's

I'll at least be listening (maybe not viewing) for the entire 24 hours. I don't have cable/sat so my options are limited to internet or what I can get over-the-air TV. It's a whole thing for me and my wife might think I'm a little crazy to be up all hours for this. Heck, I've been up at 3am to listen/watch NASA events. I'm weird like that.

I've been following their development and races for a while now. Very excited to see GTLM and LMP1 performance.

The Crown Region of the PCA always has our June social as a LeMans party with plenty of TV's food and beer.

Wow, I know Porsche is high tech but I didn't know they are into hovercrafts now!

Do you have the video of what lead up to that shot and what comes next? Would love to see it.

Absolutely, I'm watching. LMP1 should be a good show.

Ouch! It looks like they fly okay, but I bet they suck at landing...

And I will DVR it and watch what I can live.

What are the major differences between these 2 car race classes:

LM GTE Pro and LM GTE AM?

Thanks.
