Thanks for the schedule, I'll be watching most of it! 
I really hope Audi does better this year, and I'm interested to see how the Deltawing does. Since 2 out of 3 of the new Audi's crashed-out last year, if it even just finishes it would be a success.

I can't wait to watch the Audi's (especially with the Truth in 24 II special afterwords). Those boys took some massive hits last year, both McNish and Rocky.
The delta wing will be interesting, as will the hybrids.
I'm excited, this plus the US Open on TV, the StangMahn is gonna be a couch potato this weekend.

this is the first year I'll be able to watch the whole thing. I'm gonna have it on the TV, some streaming coverage, and definitely the Corvette coverage.

I didn't know that they'd done anything to them, though I hadn't been reading much about any of it this year really.

ACO is setting the pace for this car. Makes this more of a trial run than a competition.

Can't find the article right now but they also had their fuel capacity cut in half, nullifying a good chunk of the efficiency advantage.
Motoyama completed the fastest lap of the day at 3 minutes, 47.980 seconds. The Nissan DeltaWing technical, team led by concept originator Ben Bowlby, believe they are comfortably within reach of their target pace of 3 minutes, 45 seconds as requested by race officials.

One can look at both sides of the coin and decide if The Wing makes the same amount of stops as some of the leaders that with the amount saved with the reduced capacity is on target, or if the capacity was 80L and only make 1/2 the stops.
Perhaps next year we might see an Ecoboost powered LMP2 car on the grid. With Robertson Racing not on the grid there are no Blue Ovals in this years event.

I thought I had seen some millings about on the rumor that Ford would be doing just that with their EB engines.
