Took a look around and noticed there was nothing posted about the "great race" this weekend. I think we're in for a very very exciting race come Saturday. Hopefully the rain stays away, but realistically I think we're in for a wet race, as Thursday qualifying was held in torrential downpour. Great battles to be seen all through the field. Peugeot v. Audi at the front of course, but the petrol P1 battle should be something to watch as well. Zytek seems to be the class of LMP2 but this is perhaps the most unpredictable of the classes. Definitely looking forward to Aston v. Corvette v. Saleen in GT1, I'll be rooting for the Oreca Saleens thats for sure. The Ferrari-Porsche scrap still ever strong in GT2 with the F430's and GT3 RSR's and also the Panoz's and Spykers. Regardless this is, in prospect, one of the most exciting Le Mans in years.
LMP1 and overall pole - #8 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP

Um, I think it will be on Speed for those of you who have it(not sure on that though). I've been watching Motors TV's 60 hours of coverage, but thats a European channel, and I'd get in trouble telling you where to get it (PM me ;)). Also, Radio Le Mans will be live streaming the whole race at http://www.radiolemans.com/! I guess this shit starts pretty soon huh? No idea, whenever 3 PM in France is haha...
I'm gonna be rooting for Courage in the "P1 Petrol" class and the Barazi Zyteks in P2. I would absolutely love to see Oreca on top in the Saleens. And since I was raised on Porsches, I'll be rooting for any of the four 997's, Flying Lizards in particular, for a GT2 class win. I want Peugeot overall if for no reason other than we need a break from Audi, but I have my doubts as to if they can make it last the whole race. Peugeot taking pole might prove they're faster, but the Audi's run like clockwork, and after all, the 908 has only seen 2 races prior to Le Mans.
