This is my fifth or sixth year attending Le Mans and ever year only gets better and better! Saw some amazing race cars, as well as that of privately owned cars. I was only able to stay for six of the ten hour race but will be back again next year!

The race started off nasty with a rain/ mist mix and a very wet track.

This is the BMW that won the class I was watching the most.


Ford GT




By far, one of the loudest cars ever year, the C7R.


458 that tagged a P car and spun our early on in the race.



















Hard on the brakes bleeding some speed out of turn 1



Bad Ipotato pic












Nothing like the "back falling off" one of the hot lap cars. Mercedes GTR AMG, roughly $155k

I don't follow racing much...what is the electronic number on the side of the car?

It tells you the place of each car within their own respected class.

I've never seen that either.  Now I'm curious.

Is that Road America?

Its Road Atlanta, numbers indicate the cars race position in their own class.

Well, for some reason, Photobucket would not give me the bulk links and I downloaded the pictures here and the media here doesn't give bulk links, so it wanted one at a time.

Anyway, Photobucket is working now and here are my pics from Petit.

Not doing a thread like I normally do since it's a week later but here they are:

I was at Turn 12 Wed through Fri and here are pics from there:







































Some shots from inside (drivers right) at Turn 12:













Couple of night shots:




I was at Turn 6 on race day and morning warmup was in the wet:








Race:
