Hyperpole in a few hours, any predictions? Can Aston do it? Probably not.

As the only Hypercsrs entered in Hyperbole they'll be the fastest, but a bunch of LMP1s will be faster.

Yes I'm still bitter we didn't get GT1 class back.

Haven’t HyperCars replaced LMP1? Can’t find much information about it, seems like even live timing is behind a paywall this year
I use a French VPN as it’s free to stream on L’equipe, but usually a few people post the English commentary on Discord.

Apologies, this is a bit late but it is free: https://livetiming.fiawec.com/

Regulatorily yes, but they're still allowed to be pure prototype, ie. LMP by another name.

Hypercars implied manufacturers (McLaren, Porsche, Ferrari, GMA etc) would jump in with their own Valkyrie alike or at least something vaguely related to a street car.

LMP2 is also pointless

I basically just want N24 rules but with GT1 on top.

You're on quite the motorsports tour @speedingfine

Jack Aitken's fastest lap being removed for entering the pit lane one minute early must've been a bit galling. Especially given it was after the hyperpole ceremony etc

Indeed Mik, got to live like a monk for the rest of this year, and I've got barely any leave at work left til Xmas

Well that was cool as fuck, some real rarities and a lovely atmosphere:




































Facel Vega's were a massive highlight for me, absolutely lovely things.

Great photos

I must be getting old because I'm finding Morgans more and more appealing, especially the ones with the racer type look

Great photos of an amazing gathering.

Looks shit, I'm not jealous. The dog looks cute though.

Hope that Twingo goes as well as it looks!

No-one knew who I was until I put on the mask

The Panhard 24 and the Matra were both firsts for me.

No oil filter and the engine and gearbox rely on the exhaust system for support

In position for the start - it's too feckin' hot again but can't complain

If anyone has any streams I'd appreciate it
