The Official 2012 Le Mans 24 Hours thread ***Spoilers***

[Gun]

As it's only three days away now I though I'd get the thread under way for those of use who'll be watching from home. Looking forward to it this year and I really hope the Toyota's can give the Audi's a good race.

Never quite sure if this thread should go in here or the Le Mans section

[mollytherocker]

Really looking forward to it and HOPING that the Audis dont run away too far!!

Mind you, there could be an epic inside Audi battle between E-tron and Ultra!

Can't go. Gutted. First time in 10 years. Sob.

Will be there in spirit.

[y2blade]

I'd love to do LeMans one year but for now the Isle of Man TT is our priority, and they are too close together (time wise) to be able to fit both in.

So once again I'll be following it from home on the idiot box.

[weyland yutani]

Really hoping Toyota push Audi hard but I think the real battle will be between E-Tron and Ultra

That tool Robbie Nock is back on eurosport again this year too, I wonder if Herbert will be back now that he works for Sky F1.

[VladD]

For anyone who doesn't have Sky and wants to watch it, you can download the Eurosport player and watch it on-line should you wish to do so. £4.99 for a month or £2.99 per month if you sign up for 12 months.

For the 3rd year in a row I will not be going as other commitments have got in the way. Will try to watch more than the fifteen hours I watched/listened to last. Just a shame the Pugs are not there to make it close again, (assuming Toyota isn't up to the fight but hoping they are)

[Altrezia]

Eurosport player on, RLM on, closed the office for the afternoon.. ace.

Shame not to be there, but the coverage is good and beer is cheaper.

[Alistair1990]

Is the cycling on Eurosport running late, as I thought Le Mans 24 Minutes was meant to be on now?

Looks like slightly less channel hopping than last year which is good. Let's just hope they stick to it this year and don't have bloody cycling on both channels at the same time!

[ArnageWRC]

Free Practice over, and right at the death Andre Lotterer has put in a stunning lap time; 3:25.163 faster than last years Pole time!!
Still early, but it's Audi's to lose, Toyota have lost one engine already, in the Davidson car.

And was set to go faster if it wasn't for traffic!!

Yes, but this is Eurosport so I'd take the times as a rough guide, a very rouge guide!

[Altrezia]

Ha ha, Agree, Steve!

And we are go for Qualifying!

Fantastic. I am buzzing. (also wish I was there..)

[Mini1275]

God I love watching the prototypes picking their way through the GT cars. Fantastic stuff, can't wait for Saturday.

The #2 Audi is flying already.

I just wish I was there .

*Hears rumbling*
