2017 24 Hours of Le Mans
 
will be exciting... Toyota just set the fastest ever lap at Le Mans in its current course configuration after chicanes were added in the 1980s.

3:14.791!

Impressive lap.

Looking for a Ford GT repeat, and a Riley Mk30 win in P2.

Top 12 in GTE Pro separated by about 1.3 seconds in qualifying. Anyone can win this year...

Gunman 06-16-2017 12:01 PM

Tim in the pits could very well decide the winner.

mav1178 06-17-2017 08:01 PM

#7 had a clutch failure and is out. #9 blew a rear tire after it got hit and is out. #9 was the last car Toyota had.

That's too bad. The video posted above seemed like they could have been very impressive.

krayzie 06-17-2017 10:12 PM

SHIT! First STI at Nurburgring now Toyota at Le Mans.

DandoX 06-17-2017 10:53 PM

#8 is still in the race but any kind of victory is not realistic. I'm just rooting for Toyota to finish at this point. The car had serious issues earlier in the race to it's been in pit for a while, so it's too many laps behind to really make up. It's at least on e track now.
