And neither will I as the 77th running of the Le Mans 24 Hour race is just about to start. I´ll be crossing fingers for the Peugeot Sport squad in their epic battle against Audi in what should be one of the best editions of Le Mans in recent history.
Because of that, the site will be be rather quiet in the coming 24 hours. Major releases or news aside, there probably won’t be any updates and I´ll be very slow replying to emails. Please bare with me while I´m in full Le Mans craze

Thanks Gera. I advise nuking the sound on that and using Radio Le Mans.
Edit: Video died after about 20 seconds with a link to “join the audience” which doesn’t work for me. I’ll stick with my Eurosport feed.
Edit again: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mundanetv
That’s the link Gera posted.
