The 76th running of the 24 hours of Le Mans is setting up to be a thriller, six cars capable of winning of two distinct designs. One a well proven winner, a traditional open topped prototype, the other a new faster coupe design which has proven more than a match for its older rival but a touch more fragile. These diesel fueled racers are the only real contenders for overall victory but behind them there is a mind boggling array of prototypes and GT’s some having never raced before. It seems certain that there will be upsets and intrigue aplenty.

This event preview is a technical one-which is why you will not find much mention of driver line-ups or the politics behind the event. Please take the time to have a look at the links for each entry as we hope this will be the most comprehensive technical run down of the cars taking in part in what is bound to be a classic.
