Love this race! I'll be rooting for ORECA and Bruno Senna. Here's hoping a great result will catapult him into F1 this season.

I personally know someone running in the race. That adds a little interest for me.

I'd like to see the Pugs stop crying about Audi's aero and just get on with their program.

Looking at the way they've spread their top talent into three different cars it shows they know that they're not going to be able to match Audi's outright pace. Montagny, Minassian & Brabham all in one car would be the best way to take the fight to the #1 Audi.

If they don't get collected by lapped traffic, the Kristensen, McNish & Capello squad are going to walk away with the win.

No, Kitch runs the lapping days at Pacific Raceways.

Looks like Team Corvette will more than likely, if they avoid reliability issues, take the GT1 category. I was hoping that Aston would bring factory backed DBR9 to take on the Corvettes. also the Flying Lizard team will be racing which is good exposure for US teams. I will definitely be watching those guys.

Better video of live practice here - http://www.atdhe.net/7219/watch-24-hours-of-le-mans and it's in English, though the audio quality isn't as good.
