2012 FIA World Endurance Championship

There are 60+ cars for Sebring, only 30 for/from the WEC. There will be more cars that show up at each WEC race, the ACO/FIA had to put a cap on the number of WEC cars because WEC cars get an automatic invite to Le Man, and at Le Man they can't have more then 56 cars, so that's 27 spots open for invites outside of the WEC cars.


Don't know who else listens to Radio Le Mans but those guys will have some live coverage of practice and qualifying, as well as the race. Check them out at radiolemans.com. They also have a weekly show covering all motorsports called Midweek Motorsports (F1, sports cars, IRL, NASCAR) it's on Wednesday at 18:00 GMT time, 3:00 EST (i think that's right). They are based in the UK and sometimes I don't get their humor but overall I really like the show.

Will the race streamed on the Alms page ? Like last year.

I heard Justin.tv will have a stream.

yes it will

I thought it was going to be live on TV! But apparently it's not

Thought about that a couple of minutes later too, still.. Thx for reminding.

2. TRG # 66
3. JDX Racing # 11

Yes I am a Corvette fan if you can't tell

To early to say for me I have to see qualifying first before i know the pecking order of the GTE Pro class
Really the only class i follow as it´s just packed with competition.

They said the TV broad cast will be a 30 min highlight show again.

But I read in RACER that ABC is broadcasting it on TV......So we'll have to wait and see...

Nissan and Highcroft joined forces and have revealed their new car, what do you think? Also I heard that it will run some laps at Sebring this weekend! More about the car is found here http://www.racedepartment.com/2012/03/le-mans-24-hours-nissan-deltawing-revealed/

Should be interesting to see how it matches up to the other LMP's! Still can't get over its odd shape (though at least it will be easy to distinguish at le mans ) and wonder how good the front end stability is?

I can't stop comparing these two

I´m interested in the front end. It doesn´t look like it produces any form of downforce on that small bit so i´m expecting heavy understeer but they might have something clever to counter act that.

If that´s the kinda design i´ve to expect in the motorsport/sportscar future, i´ll go with miniature golf.

The Deltawing isn't new.
Two years ago it was introduced as potential replacement to the dallara in Indycar (fourtunetly it didn't win).
My prediction is that it will run Le Mans and then it will be folded, but I'd like to be proved wrong.
