    Indeed.
    Great shot! The reverse order to their ultimate qualifying positions though.
    Your photograph?
    We could do with some more good pics in this thread. Help liven it up between now and the race.

    They have a show about the Isle of Man TT right now. I'm stuck at work, but it's streaming fine on my phone. :)

    Thanks for all the great links folks! I'll be watching Speed and streaming video and pumping Radio Le Mans into the stereo for the commentary here in NC. I envy you being there Carol! I'll make sure I check this thread during the race. Hoping for a good showing from Drayson Racing and the Aston Martin GT2 Vantage. I'll also be happy if Aston Martin Racing finishes as the lead petrol LMP1 car. Got a feeling this is going to be one helluva race this year. Good luck to all the participants!

    Haha, You're right of course.
    Just realised I confused the green car with the GT1 entry when I said their qual positions.
    Might have to move elsewhere in the world. This will be my third night without sleep!

    Check out McNish's new helmet with the R-15 toon on it.

    The white corvettes have two webcams up on JTV now. One in the garage and one in the gantry.
    Bit of a change from Audi dropping a bag over the incar cameras as the cars go into the garage!

    Pit lane waking up as morning warm up draws nigh.
    Welcome to race day everyone.

    Warmup on the Eurosports feed via jtv -
    http://www.justin.tv/shadowsports

    25 mins warm up to go. Audi having trouble with the #1 car. Scrabbling to get it out again before warm up ends.

    Big Dreamy and Marco Werner touch and spin. Is Audi getting all its bad luck done with in warm up?

    Legends race next.

    Fantastic pics. I really hope someone will pass us the link of the hi res pics after the race. I have a massive collection of the 2007 series, but missed out on last year's series.

    1st and 3rd in the Legends race #2 after a race long battle between the 1st place 250LM and a Lister-Jag. Tony Dron in a 246 3rd.
    No parade for the out right cars. That was a real race.

    Great chance to get a good look at the cars. Its a good resolution and they're showing them being pushed to the grid atm.

    True but I get a wide-screen pic in a 'square' screen mode: the chicks all look like they are 10 feet tall!
    There's a 'wide' option showing under the screen, but it results in a wide screen indeed: the same pic but flanked by black space either side:)
