REVIEW – 1951 Renault 4CV 1063 #50
Category: Le Mans
And Toyota does it again!
Car #8 crossed the finish line in 1st, giving Toyota its second overall win. Not that there was much doubt about who would win, but there still was quite a lot of drama in the last hour of the race, between Toyota’s #7 and #8. All because the pit crew changed the WRONG TIRE on (at the time) leading #7. But that folks, is why Le Mans is so awesome 🙂
All in all, a TERRIFIC race, specially because of the battles between GTE-Pro cars (and Am too).

It’s about to kick off in about an hour and a half! So, will it be another win for Toyota? Their cars are starting on pole. I’m just disappointed that they won’t have any competition from the other big dogs, so unless they have some really bad luck, cars #7 or #8 will finish in first. So I’m secretly routing for the underdogs. What I think will be the best fight to watch will be GTE-Pro and Am. Some beautiful cars this year (and a few boring ones too), and if we get good fights, this could be an awesome race.

Jaguar XK120 – the first cat at Le Mans
Petrolicious just released a delightful video about the XK120, Jaguar’s first car to race at La Sarthe. Not as successful as the later XK120C from 1951, but in my humble opinion MUCH more of a looker.
