In case you've been under a rock, Le Mans is this week

The greatest, most highly anticipated race of the year (at least here in the household der rennsport) is upon us. Le Mans. Saturday, June 12th. Mrs WRS (no longer the future Mrs, I made her an honest woman) is highly anticipating any and all screen time of 'Mr. Le Mans,' Tom Kristensen, while I will be following the GT2 battle like some sort of sad, nerdy train-spotter, hoping Porsche can break their bad-luck spell of the past few years. What can I say, at least I'm honest. I know I am not the only one.



Needless to say the big battle at the sharp end of the grid is going to be between Audi and Peugeot, and we will be supporting the Audi Team 100%. Ultimately I don't have a ton of passion for that battle, primarily because the 'petrol' cars as the Brits call them are not competitive and I'd like to see that added variety, but also because those cars lack the pure excitement of the days gone buy.



The coverage is already well underway, and with the Twitter / Facebook / etc / connectivity of 2010, everyone has content available. From these pictures, take from the ACO official Le Mans Facebook page, to hours and hours of content from the crew at Radio Le Mans, there is plenty to fill up on. Not to mention 25 hours of live coverage from Speed TV.



I think I can honestly say if this sort of content was available back in the late 90s, I would have died from lack of sleep, or at the very least gotten fired.



I personally will not be attempting to compete, as I have Jury Duty this week and well, it takes up a lot of mental capacity, and so will be leaving it to some fairly minimal posts after qualifying and during the race. However, you know where to go:

Radio Le Mans (live 24 hours+ and countless pre-shows with a lot of great info)

Speed TV (Live for 25 hours starting at 8:30am eastern on Saturday)

ACO / Le Mans official on Facebook.
