    I think the frontal view is pretty mean looking, and with 13 wins in 15 years, I'm not gonna' criticize their appearance.

    BTW, if you have not watched Truth in 24, you need to. Amazing documentary narrated by Jason Statham. It is FREE in HD on iTunes.

    I will criticize their appearance, but not their performance.

    Auto Union has always made some odd looking cars, but as you say, you can't fault their performance.

    I'm all in with Michael Shank Racing with their Ligier. They are our local team here in Columbus.

    I wonder what horsepower that nice sounding AU was making? The driving positions looked a bit scary. :)

    I still can't find a way to watch the race without cable or satellite TV. :mad2:

    I'd at least like to find something with regular highlights.

    I downloaded the 24H LeMans App for my iPhone, but don't know how good it will be, and video in a phone is too small.

    I can't say this will definitely happen, of course, but when I do find WEC and similar endurance races made available via stream it's usually announced within about 24 hours of the start of the event. Or maybe it's known and announced well in advance but I just don't spend time in the right places to learn of it?

    Anyway, I'll keep looking and will post what I find. FWIW, I think someone usually posts a viewing guide on Jalopnik.

    The first qualifying session is done.

    The Porsche Prototypes are clearly fast and those new Fords are doing well in the GT class.

    BoP is a big issue for the GT classes. Ford accused by some of strategically sandbagging during the first two races of the WEC season "“sandbagging hugely†at Silverstone and Spa" in order to get a BoP advantage for Le Mans. Corvettes "... slower than all GTE-Pro cars and four of the year-old models in the GTE-Am category."

    There's talk there could be further adjustments tomorrow after officials go through the data from today's qualifying sessions.

    I can't remember, has MSR had the red, white and blue on there all along or did they do this for Le Mans?
