    2014 edition of 24 Hours of LeMans

    Who is watching/following this? I just learned of an accident during practice involving one of Audi's eTron cars. Driver ok, car is toast.

      Fifteen or more years ago, they probably wouldn't have.

      We were talking about LeMans at the Brodeo last weekend. Attending is on the bucket list of at least a handful of us.

          I am pretty dang excited for this years race (especially if Audi is down one car). Sucks that Kristensen will now be out of the running for another victory, unless audi switches up the drivers.

            I would go in a heartbeat if I could afford it. No idea what part of the track I'd head for - too hard to choose! Maybe in 24 hours you could hit some of the best spots.

              24 Hours of LeMans and 24 Hours of Nurburgring are BOTH on my bucket list. I missed the 24 hours at the Ring last year by a few days. I will NOT let a stupid mistake like that happen again.

                Same here! Should be interesting! I would be surprised if they withdrew. Surely they have more than 3 cars

                  Didn't they lose one of the Audis last year in the first few laps, trying to show off shooting a gap between slower cars? They did fine with the rest.

                  The P-car showdown will be great. Maybe they can't win the first year back, but I don't give them long.

                  Ferrari is supposed to announce a return to prototypes. All we need is a new GT40!

                      WHAT'S THAT AUDI? TOP OF THE TIME SHEETS FOR PORSCHE!

                      Following the #20 car all weekend, Brendon Hartley from my home town topped the time sheets dragging in Mark Webber's car, both of them Red Bull Racing dropouts :D
