Have watched a few of the hi lights.
looks like BMW will be there next year as well.
They did a "show press "this week at le mans before the race to present the LDMH Hyper car but will race in US a little in 0 before entering Le mans in 2024

At the moment 12 oclock and 3 1/2 hours to go Jim car being 3rd have to be carefull with traffic as many crashes due to LMP car are happening
Unfortunatly my friend Romain Dumas driving the sister car is far on classification to have any chance to be in the overall podium :rolleyes:
 
Congratulations to Jim Team !
2 cars entered and 2 cars finishing ( plus a podium ) for a second year being at Le Mans is really very very well done ; I was dreaming we have known such a man when racing with Pescarolo team we will have win for sure with help of this Le mans Fan man !!!!!
Only question I will ask to Jim today is ;
As you wherre stating 4 years ago when starting to built cars ; would you tomorrow come bak to Paris with the "winner car" thru normal roads !!!!!
It was his dream challenge if I remember well ...................................
 
It seems that the Toyotas are still using windows programs to run their hybrids.... "stop the car switch off reset every thing restart -drive".....
like the Bill Gates Henry Ford joke.....

Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If the auto industry had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon".
In response to Bill's comments, Henry Ford replied If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by asingle "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7.The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
