2018 24 hrs. Of LeMans
« on: June 07, 2018, 05:10:04 AM »
Saturday coverage on June 16 Th. 900 am EST. Velocity will cover the entire race. Hated the partial coverage and multiple channels when Fox Sports televised the race.

Schedule here.

Not the same this year with Porsche and Audi pulling out of LeMans. Toyota is still in LMP 1 racing against privateers. Disappointing. Almost won last year if you remember. Racing against Porsche and Audi was the whole point.

Same favorites this year, Toyota in LMP 1 and Corvette in Pro Class.
