24 HOURS OF LE MANS

PEUGEOT 908

Tomorrow afternoon, zoom-zoom, marks the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They are celebrating the 75th anniversary of its start. The cars to watch are the five diesel powered cars fielded by Audi, three from them, and Peugeot. The drivers come from all over the racing spectrum. I do have some personal favorites in different classes. Let me share them:

In the LMP1 class I am looking for Team Peugeot Total with the car piloted by Nicolas Minassian, Jacques Villeneuve and Marc Gene. A diesel powered 5.5 litre V-12 turbo.

LMP2 class goes to the entry by Barazi-Epsilon/Zytec Engineering and driven by Adrian Fernandez, Haruki Kurosawa and Robbie Kerr. 3.4 litre V-8.

GT1 is Corvette Racing with a Chevy 7 litre V-8. Driven by Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Max Papis.

GT2 could be either car from Team LNT. All picks are purely personal and anything can happen in a 24 hour race. You can watch it on your computer at:
