I figured we could put everything into one big thread to make things easy.

It's also active during qualifying. Just leave the page open and it'll constantly refresh itself. It's not the best format, but it works. If there isn't any qualifying or race on, it shows it's last results.

Copy and paste that into windows media player. I forget the site address, listen for it while listening to the coverage, but you can send them an email and ask questions and such. I was listening to it earlier, they say there are some 11 million hits on their site today! :shock:
This will be th ebulk of my coverage, since I don't get Speed Channel. I might be going over to a friends to catch a bit of it on TV hopefully.
The ACO has put off it's 3:55 rule for this year it seems. First reports were that the C6R and Ferrari's would be given weight penalties. It's been changed to go into effect after the race. If any GT1 car runs 30+ laps at 3:55 or faster (which they will) the cars will be given a wieght penalty for all of next season. Pretty stupid IMO.
The new Pescarolo's seem to be damn fast. Both entries are roughly 2 seconds faster than the fastest R8 (Champion entry). The R8's were grandfathered in, with added wieght and smaller air restrictors. I think it'll be a reliability game for the R8's. We know they can last 24 hours (provided no accidents), but can the Pescarolo's?
Haven't heard much about the Courage, Dome or Dallara, Zytek or DBA. We should hear much more about them tomorrow (Friday) during qualifying.

In GT1 the Astons are leading the way right now. It's been bouncing all over today. Supposedly at one point, the Vettes we just behind Aston and Ferrari once was in the lead. I know the Vettes have been rumored to be sandbagging it. Plus, it rained. So I doubt many teams were pushing it too hard.
Tomorrow's times will be the important ones, but as it sits, it's like this:
1. Aston #58
2. Aston #59
3. Corvette #64
4. Ferrari #61 (Cirtek 550)
5. Corvette #63
6. Ferrari #50 (Larbre 550)
7. Ferrari #51 (BMS Scuderia 550)
8. Ferrari #52 (BMS Scuderia 550)
9. Ferrari #69 (JMB 575)
GT2, I also haven't heard much from GT2. Other than that Alex Job has been doing very well. As is Flying Lizard, it's their first year at LeMans. I have high hopes for them! I'm also surprised by Panoz, I didn't expect them to be doing this well this early.

I'll update it after tomorrows qualifying, then we'll have the grid order.
