LM24 Scrutineering Schedule Revealed
By John Dagys


The scrutineering schedule for next month’s 24 Hours of Le Mans has been revealed.

All 56 cars set to take part in the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic will head to the Le Mans city center for the traditional two-day event, located again at the Place de la République.

SCHEDULE: Le Mans Scrutineering

http://f.cl.ly/items/2t0S221Z1R42083...005%202014.pdf

(Corvette Racing is scheduled for late Monday)

Twenty-two cars are scheduled to go through the administrative checks on Sunday, June 8, including the factory Porsche and Toyota LMP1 cars, along with the Nissan ZEOD RC, which will occupy Garage 56 this year.

Scrutineering will kick off with a pair of brand-new Ligier JS P2 cars from local team OAK Racing, including its all-Chinese driver lineup entry.

Monday’s schedule includes many of the heavy-hitting GTE-Pro efforts such as AF Corse, Aston Martin Racing and Corvette Racing, along with Audi’s three-car LMP1 effort in the afternoon.

While on-track activity doesn’t begin until Wed., June 11, an autograph session is scheduled for Tuesday at the circuit from 5-6 p.m. local time.

Yes, I probably will too. We don't get FS2 and I would hate to miss the last hours of the race. It goes on sale this Wednesay.

This is a cool spreadsheet someone on (tentenths.com) made that highlights the number of times a driver has been to LeMans, their ranking, and other useful information.

A cool print out for the diehard fan like myself.

Here are the garage/paddock/pit allocations for the different teams:

What??? No Ferrari in your top GTPro pick?? media's favorite? I am sick of hearing everyone say Ferrari will win! It's like they forgot Corvette Racing is in the same class.

I agree with your picks except Ferrari would come in 3rd.

It wasn't quite clear to me if the app gets the international feed in addition to various in-car views - did anyone try it out for the practice/qualifying and can confirm it gets the full course feed?

Thanks.

I understood that you would get the full race stream on the app. I think it goes on sale at 9:00 AM Central this morning.

There will be live onboard cameras on both C7R's as well as a camera in the pitts. This can be accesses at:

http://msn.foxsports.com/speed/stream/corvette

Hopefully everyone can get the above link whether you get FS1 and FS2.

Ferrari does have three cars and a great driver line-up. Of course, we are all pulling for Corvette Racing to win yet again. The boys need some racing luck, as anyone does to win at Le Mans. It is a long and treacherous race.

Possible driveshaft failure on the #74 car left it stranded for the last ~1hr of the first practice session on Wednesday.

PS: MODERATORS, can we get this thread stickied and renamed to ** [LM24] Official Practice, Qualifying, and Race Day LeMans 24 Thread along w/ Helpful Links **
