The race is in 6 days. Can Porsche win it?

Of course I'd like it if a 963 won but I must admit I'm not fond of the 963 styling. Much prefer the Caddy or Acura. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think the various Peugeot versions lately are the best looking. Especially the 9XX or whatever it was called back in the late 2000's. That looked like a F1 car with fenders.

If Porsche doesn't win, something very bad happened.

They are going in this year as the favorite. The question should be which Porsche team wins.

Welp, Superpole is going to be interesting. Two Porsches in the top 8 in Hypercar. One PPM and one Jota car, 7th and 8th.

WRT BMW quickest before the red flag, session never restarted.

Ford quickest in GT3 LM!

If only sound counted in racing - the Alpine A424 sounded great at Spa last month.

But it doesn't, so Porsche

That in-car on the pole lap is insane. He was almost out of control several times- can't believe he save it every time. Not sure Ant could believe it either!!

Yes, that is how you have to do it to be completive at this level.

Martin Brundle once said if you don't feel like you about a to crash at all times you aren't driving fast enough.

Killer lap. It's always fun to see how a top driver interacts with the car, feeling out the grip so many times in each part of the corner.

Watch the predictive on the steering wheel and you can see some entries were probably a little hard and were the majority of the time was made in the lap. Very cool stuff.

These hyper cars drive more like GT cars than the past LMP1 cars!

My in-car at a Watkins Glen DE event looks like I'm driving to the grocery store on a mellow Sunday morning in comparison...
