I'll be at the race and then I'll have all year before the next to watch it on TV. I always record it and end up watching it around 4 times in its entirety. Only problem has been having to hear Scott Pruett's commentary. I can't stand that guy!

Le mans should be experienced live at least once in your life, then you realize that actualy beeing there live beats a tv broadcast.

I know for sure it's better experience than on TV (of course it is, everything is better live) and I do intend to head there at some point, however at the current stage of my life it's too much hassle.

And for live timing, if you don't have enough money for internets at the track, there's always the brainbox in the RLM commentary booth aka Trussers.

If people want to watch the race at home there's nothing wrong with that. Every fan of endurance racing can't attend Le Mans - it's not possible.
Everyone that's been knows that it tends to awaken something in you. I'd recommend it to anyone. At the end of the day they'll make their own decision to go if they have the desire, ability and the means. |

Absolutely true. I consider myself exceptionally lucky that I'm able to go and have been for the last 28 years but obviously not everyone is as fortunate as me.

indeed this year will be my 24th 24 hours race in a row, luckily I have never had a setback for not going but lots of things can happen, costs, health and distance are of great importance in going every year.

This thread is killing me. I've had to give up on going for the first time this year to (irony incoming) fix my car. With Ramadan's prospective dates from 2015 onwards, I won't be able to make it until 2018/19.
Have fun on my behalf guys |

That's forever away. Pitch a small tent at home and listen to RLM for the weekend?

Couple of further entry list changes.
Leo Roussel replaces Romain Brandela at Pegasus - http://sportscar365.com/lemans/leman...morgan-nissan/ We'll see a fourth Ligier on the grid, with the #26 G-Drive entry being updated to the new car. http://www.dailysportscar.com/?p=30945 Along with the #35 car it will effectively be a two-car team known as 'G-Drive Racing by OAK Racing'. These are going to be VERY pretty in the flesh I think. |

While their P1 effort might have sort of embarrasingly rumbled down like Lotuses, Oak is doing pretty good business with those coupes already. Congrats
Anyway these sort of changes are exactly the reason I fail to understand why ACO calls it "final entry list". It's not final until scrutineering has been done (I say done instead of starts as it's not final even then, as things like Epsilon Euskaldi 08 etc proved) |

Onroak Automotive's FB page has some images of the TDS, OAK Asia and main OAK Racing Ligier LMP2s testing at Magny-Cours.
TDS was in full color. OAK Asia was in bare carbon, and OAK Racing was in bare carbon with what appeared to be foil tape on various bits at the front of the car. |

Based on that G-Drive livery render, it looks like there won't be a pink and black Oak car this year. Shame to lose one of the more distinctive liveries.

Okay I think DSC either reported it as two Ligiers (hence the correction) or I misread it.
Thought it was a bit strange they were still testing the old Morgan recently if they were running the new car. The closed cars look cool but I still like seeing the open-top protos in endurance racing for driver identification. |

I know it says 2014 entry list but, I am thrilled about the official announcement Nissan will compeed in LMP1 2015.
