LM GTE Pro. Against the 458 Ferrari's, Porsche 911 RSR and Aston Martin DB8's.

Should be great!

Audi versus anyone. No doubt Audi has been dominant at Le Mans so it's good to see someone step up to take them on since Peugeot's valiant try. I just hope Toyota is more successful at it than they were with their attempt at F1 years ago.  ;)

Very sad to see Audi lose a car that early. Toyota will never get the lost laps back. Only one car on lead lap.

Corvette is impressive. Watch Dempsy in the 77 car, GT pro am.

Pretty cool link.

What a battle between Corvette (74) and Ferrari. Milner says you ain't getting around me.

Toyota P1 running a flawless race. As much as I would like them to win you have to be rooting for Porsche due to the long absence. ( and the Audi commercial )

Wonderful. About time to put on the coffee for the all nighter.

What a race. Corvette with a 2/4 finish. Toyota close although early accident in the rain was a bone head mistake. (IMO)

Porsche will be back. Time for a little sleep.  :D
