2016 winning Porsche 919 bursting through a Japanese flag!





(Actually bursting through its class-coloured 'dot', but you have to find an LMP2/GTE cup to find that out).

The on-boards look like a sped-up computer game. Unreal.

Was trying to get a Corvette cup for this year but no luck especially with beer at 9 euros a cup! Could of sworn it was only 6 or 7 in 2015. If anyone has a 2017 Corvette cup they would like to sell, please let me know.

Given Ford won GTEPro and Ferrari GTEAm finding a 2017 Corvette cup was always going to be a struggle! Cups now come in sets of 6 - one for each of the previous year's class winners and 2 st ones ("Emotion" and something else only OCD people like Isaac Hunt need to track down biggrin).

Of course you could buy the cups without the beer ! and the last one was a collection of images ,fly past,helmet,big wheel etc.A seventh one was a very limited edition yellow one celebrating 65 years at Le Mans.

As //17 has said there isn't one unless there are seven official ones and I've missed it,unlikely.

Can you? I thought the 1euro was a deposit for the cup. I may have to do that next year - thankyou.

Quick look at the non-OCD collection in the cupboard says since at least 2011. Have one of the very first ones but they didn't date them in the first year.
