Motorsport.com: McLaren: Alonso free to race at Le Mans for another team.

Alonso to drive WEC in 2018! Not only Le Mans! There is a contract between Alonso and Toyota, „The LMP1 Team“. He will only miss the Japanese WEC-race due to his contract with McLaren. Perhaps a big step to the triple crown?
And don't forget the 24hrs of Daytona!

Leg the „Games“ begin!
Boy, Toyota is pretty much damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they win Le Mans, it'll be because there was no factory competition (and privateer LMP1 teams don't have very good history of results). And if they lose, they'll have lost to privateers...
Let the „Games“ begin!
Are you going this year?
Unfortunately there will be no WEC race in Germany this year (punishment for the withdrawal of Porsche?). But Spa-Francorchamps (May 5th) is an alternative. And within reach. The south of France is a beautiful place on earth, but from my home to Paul Ricard there are 1.300 kilometers to go. In this case endurance would already start on the highway....
Hope you and your son can make it to one!
Not „only watches“ from Switzerland: Rebellion R13!
Leg the „Games“ begin!
Perhaps he should not have missed the Prologue...
LOL not that hard to lap cars when every other car in the race is in a lower class than you
Sure, but given the differential in speed, it's arguably more error prone than trying to pass cars of similar performance. The opportunity for being caught out looks immense. Looks like you need to be concentrating 100% all the time. Now add in night time driving and you're tired at the end of a stint... 😀
