Le Mans Preview and Predictions

Le Mans marks 90 years since its first race, even though it is the 81st race and the 89th anniversary. Why are they calling it the 90 years celebration, I have no idea?

LMP1
 Anyways the four rings of Audi Sport returns with an upgraded R18 E-Tron Quattro and are the favorites to win. Toyota needs to prove they can last for 24 hours before trying to dethrone the German Dynasty. I feel that only one TS030 will cross the line at 3:00 pm (France Time) but will be on the podium as Audi will have one car that runs into problems. If both Audi and Toyota have one car running into trouble, that opens the door for Rebellion Racing to get on the podium,
Prediction for LMP1
1st: Audi #2, 2nd: Audi #1, 3rd: Toyota #8

LMP2
Call this the Oreca-Nissan class as Oreca supplies the most chassis and Nissan the most engines. It was not that long ago that LMP2 was a dying breed but now it's alive and well with 22 entries for the race. Because of the large amount of entries the winner could be anybody but a few cars stand out as favorites like the G-Drive/Delta ADR team or Signatech or even Greaves could stand atop the podium on Sunday.
Predictions
1st: G-Drive #26 , 2nd: Signatech #36, 3rd: Greaves #41

GTE Coming Soon!
