Also respect to Americans who had the weird idea in the 2000s of "What if Le Mans... but series?"

Yeah DPis and GTLM were absurdly close most of the race.

Gt3s it became clear about half way that the Mercs had it.

Eg there were a bunch of Porsche factory drivers at this race spread among 3 teams. Those guys will probably be the back bone of the factory effort at Le Mans, then drive with private teams at the Nurburgring 24 hr, and Spa 24.

To be fair some of those LMP2s are racing in Europe.

Unlike the BMWs that just get parked in RLL's garage or whatever.

Honestly the only thing better than the 12 hour was when they did 24 hours for a few years.

Covette racing first WEC round.

I mean it's one of literally a handful races they can do this year so why not (plus Spa, Le Mans, Road Atlanta and Watkins Glen)

Le Mans has been delayed and Cadillac are thinking about LMDh (possibly at the logical expense of Corvette in GT)

Also everyone's favorite "and also on this weekend" series, the 24 HR series is back with the 12 hours of Mugello, 4 hours friday, 8 hours saturday. It's a pretty amateur field, without many pros because they're all at...

The First Round of The NLS series. I like the NLS series but I understand it's a very abstract series in that you obviously don't see the cars through the ring most of the time but the RLMs team are chill to hang out with and it's usually free on Youtube to watch.

That run from 2014 onwards was extremely good poo poo and if people have the money I recommend the Duke Video hilights of 2015 and 2016 especially.

4 hours, Radio Le Mans commentary. Extremely good poo poo.

Edit: the morning shift change in 2016 was :discourse:

Rain is cool and good.... except at night cos it produces fog and red flags. So I want it to rain during the day but dry at night.

The only good thing last year was watching Michael Fassbender get murdered.

Am I correct in saying instead of being absolutely insane they have scaled the rally back to "merely slightly insane"

Cos from what I'm seeing people are getting into all sorts of strife and I'm here for it.

Lmp2 is dogfight

GTEPro will be fascinating

And GTEAm will be interesting

And there will be many lols if the Yotas breakdown

Edit: they remove the BOP so it's just Raw Pace so I would expect the Yotas to have a massive performance edge.
