In the mood for Le Mans yet? You should be! This year promises much at the sharp end of the race; surely/hopefully Audi will have a real race on its hands for top honours as Toyota, Porsche and Nissan's radical GT-R LM NISMO gun for LMP1 glory.

Time For Tea?
a little while back. Scary.
When the GT-R LM first appeared we never thought we'd be encouraging you to have it as your desktop wallpaper. But in this colour scheme it's a car transformed and we can't wait to see it in action next week. Please, somebody has to stop the Audis...
