Then we should collectively cross our fingers and hope that Kodewa can pull off the stunt, if only for Le Mans.

I know there's possibly a prediction competition coming nearer the race but what are people expecting in terms of pole/fastest lap pace this year?

I wonder how low into the 3:20's they can get and whether they can edge out the best times from last year (3.22.349 qualy Duval / 3.22.746 race Lotterer)?

I expect qualifying to be a real thriller with the Porsche, Toyota and Audi cars close to each other.

Depends on what top speeds they can reach. I assume all three cars will be slower in the Porsche curves compared to previous years (with Audi fastest), but if any of them can reach 340-5 km/h that deficit will be wiped out. With good conditions, I expect a high 3:20 pole time and a low 3:21 fastest lap. Which will no doubt please the ACO with their target average lap time of 3:30!

Slightly off-topic: Last year's qualifying was strange, it always seemed like the 2013 R18 could go sub 3:22 but no driver could hook up all the sectors.

I don't see any of these new generation cars hitting those sorts of speeds on Mulsanne?
Not with chicanes on there, anyway!

I reckon they might be able to hit 335km/h this year.

Or maybe... Toyota first down the pitlane, Porsche second and Audi third, and in the same order on the podium?

Looks like some Krohn hospitality above AF Corse? Any chance the big man will sneak in somewhere?

So who do we think is actually going to get most air time this year?

Your nominees in people are
A) "Retired" Australian F1 celebrity
B) Doctor Audi
C) Doctor McDreamy
D) 'We like to do things a little bit differently here at Nissan'

And in cars
A) The one that got shafted in the ERS process
B) The one that is the most successful make ever in LM
C) The one that is the largest car manufacturer in the world but receives smaller racing budget than the previous two
D) The one that is not Deltawing but kinda is

Voting starts now!!!

(please note there won't be answers due to the fact that counting down all the appearances would be suicidal )

According to Endurance-Info, the "grand marshal" for Le Mans (the person to wave the green for the formation lap at least) will be Allan McNish. No word on whether he'll also wave the tricolore at 3pm.

Nice gesture!
However I loved the fact that it was a spectator doing it last year!

Maybe Ulrich or Haynes will give Fillon advice on how best to "unleash the Scotsman"!

He'll probably throw the flag on the track if the polesitter is a Toyota or a Porsche. )
