A bit old from 2012 24hours of Le Mans but worth watching from 1:00.

Enjoy a good race in LMP and GT with good tyres from different manufactureers, without DRS and other stupid gimmicks.

I'm really interested in this series. It's drawn my attention in recent years briefly, but with Kobayashi there now I want to dive in. Can anyone recommend a good way to wade in besides wikipedia?

Thanks in advance

Technical information relating to the LMPs in particular.

Otherwise, there are tons of Le Mans and WEC vids (some full race) on teh youtubes.

The documentaries "Truth in 24" parts 1 and 2 have good overall information about the history, the track, the cars, and some of the legend behind Audi's success at Le Mans. There was a Toyota LMP1 short documentary somewhere, but the name escapes me. At the moment, Toyota and Audi are the big names competing for top spots in LMP and overall classes.

Cheers and roll on SPA!!!!!

The R18 long tail. Apparently this one will be run in Spa by Marc Gené/Lucas di Grassi/Oliver Jarvis

As you can see Audi tested also small tyres (2014 regs ?) at Monza.
