[LM24] What Are You Looking Out For At LM 2015?

[Mike E]

In no particular order...

1. Nissan, obviously.
Will they be fast or slow, reliable or not? Will all of their relative speed come on the straights and how will they get the power down through the front wheels?

2. Rebellion-Toyota (last year's times) vs Rebellion-AER vs CLM-AER vs Oreca 05-Nissan.
I am very curious to see how the sector and lap times compare for these cars. And with such a heavily revised package and no testing to speak of, will the Rebellions even go the distance?

3. LMP2
BR01-Nissan
Dome S103-Nissan
Gibson 015S-Nissan
Ligier JS P2-HPD
Ligier JS P2-Judd
Ligier JS P2-Nissan
Morgan-Nissan
Morgan EVO-Judd (SARD)
ORECA 03R-Nissan
ORECA 05-Nissan
Alpine A450b-Nissan (if that counts)
ORECA 03R-Judd on the reserve list

The high water mark for the class? With 19 cars entered it should be a great battle.

4. Bringing another newbie to the great race. This will be my 5th trip to La Sarthe and I have managed to bring along someone new each time. I should be getting commission.

5. Relaxing at the campsite with friends and family and not thinking about the real world for a few days.

6. The sound of the first car hitting the track.

7. Spectating from somewhere new. I still haven't made it down to the entry to the Porsche Curves. That's on the list.

8. Spectating from somewhere familiar. Arnage at night for glowing brakes and getting up close to the cars.

I could go on...
