Tell me that doesn’t look like a proper race car,
… or rather, a beautiful car, and that you are not looking forward to next week’s 24H race at Le Mans.
If you even think for a second about it,
prepare yourself and watch David take the fight to Goliat.

what, do i hear someone not being hyped to the moon that we do have the Le Mans 24h on next weekend?
Look at the field assembled for taking a stab at winning more than just a lemon, a few cuties among them as well 
…
Right, that’s the spirit!
Since you asked for times to gauge where the 2021 class is in terms of comparison to the now former LMP HY-class, there you go:
and don’t forget to mark the coming Saturday in your calendar

confession time…
those Nissan quest pics made me think of one of my wanna-be guilty pleasures again:
the Toyota Alphard V6.
The facelift somewhat destroyed the front they’ve aced in the second gen version linked here, otoh, where else do you get a true Transformers fascia today?
idk, 60k is asking a bit much, and honestly, street cred level readings go to zer-

That’s the Avantime, available with a 3L V6, Four-Seater Luxury Hatchback Coupe. The door hinges (attn @Rudie ) are a bit special to enable opening it properly without a mandatorily free parking space left and right to that showboat.
Seriously, where else do you get YouTube autocomplete to door hinges?
and people doing a video clip of opening/closing a door.
Friend of mine was thinking about trying to get one as a Company Car, though had to settle for a Mark 2 Scenic
(if there ever was an Automotive Downgrade, that’s it )

I realise that it’s meant to be a weird bilingual portmanteau but all I can think of with that name is

Slowing down for a hairpin at the top of Eau Rouge/Raidillon seems wild to me. Is this one of the stages every year?

Note that later today, finally, this year’s edition of the 24h classic will commence.
Hop over to racer.com or dailysportscar.com to check out intermediate reports when they happen, watch a broadcast in your country (because ze ACO does not like to stream their product for free) and enjoy the show, we basically have David (Toyota) vs Goliat (Glickenhaus) vs last years second best David nominee which now is more of a David Mark 2 bop’ed to Wintersoldie… ok, that doesn’t make any sense anymore.
Watch it for the cars, and the maybe-upset-surprise that may spring on us if the Hypercars top class falters, and the P2 class is there to take the spoils.
GTE-LM/Pro is basically irrelevant, but will have cool racing
GTE-Am will mix it with the big ones, but has the nicer paint jobs.
You have 24h, tune in, tune out, enjoy the spectacle!

push-rod style dampers, V8, dome-strut packaged inbetween V8 and exhaust, right over the gearbox… impressive, to say the least!
now do that with a 2nd gen twingo.
