24 Hours of LeMans 2018 this Saturday
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:41 am
As we all (should) know, our favorite marque has historically done very well at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. I'm a casual motorsport viewer, so someone school me on this year's field.
It looks like Porsche factory racing (?) is entering two cars (the Rothmans and the Pink Pig)? What other teams/drivers in Porsches should I root for? They're not entering their LMP1 cars this year, correct? Does that leave Toyota the overall winner, or will Porsche win a "class"? So much confusion, but still fun to watch.
If you're not aware, here in the states all 24 hours are being broadcast on Velocity (likely preempting several hours of shows in which a guy wants a car done, the other guys don't have time to do it, there's a big problem, but then everything's solved, the end).
