They are all like F1 cars underneath - the big difference in Toyota is their commitment to aero development in a very F1-like manner. Will see the same from Audi this year for sure, no matter how badly they want to make mechanical engineering work because its their "thing".

Best thing to do is watch the start and the end, everything in-between and before the race and after too.

I won't rag on it's looks too much because I love the Delta, and plenty of people had bad things to say about it last year. I just hope they put a little more protection around the hydrogen tanks for the race.

Really looking forward to the new season, can't wait!

Less than an hour into the race and already too many major failures. Oh Grand-Am, you're still a bit of a joke.

What a fantastic end to race in the 6 hours of silverstone Mcnish chasing down his teammate in the last 30 min and overtaking him with only 5-6 min left what a race

Weirdly his mistake into maggots and Beckett which ruined his tyre's paid off for him because using his fresh tyres he was chasing his teammate down by 2 seconds a lap and overtook him into brooklands

What a great recovery from Mcnish

I really need to start watching endurance racing, seems like a great series with the different classes.
A quick question for UK viewers, are the races shown on TV? I know I have watched a bit of le man 24h last year but can't remember the channel but do other races get shown on TV as well? Or is it just via the free web stream that the FIA have?

Great season opener; rain-madness at mid race was epic.
Also Bruno Senna and Kamui Kobayashi did a fantastic work, considering it was their first race in the Wec.
Loved the podium, two of my favourite drivers back on top.

I think they missed an opportunity at Silverstone to keep the ELMS alive by combining it with the WEC into one big race.
23 entries from ELMS - result... http://www.dailysportscar.com/Uploads/E ... e_Race.pdf
+31 entries from WEC - result... http://www.dailysportscar.com/Uploads/W ... e_Race.pdf

It could have been an epic race with over 50 cars, a proper tourist trophy, in the end nobody really turned up to watch.
