At this moment we have a NZ driver in 4th place overall in a works porsche at LeMans. with every chance of a Win. Scott D aside this is one of the Best showings for the sport since the 1960s and up there with the ford effort of 66.

The only way you'll get to see Le Mans is if they play a sodding rugby match there...

Brendon got very positive coverage on the US TV, Fox covered most of the race live, he had won a round of the series here last year and hopefully will be up front for Porsche at Austin, Texas this season.

Also on Eurosport, which I was watching. They even questioned why it was Webber who got into the car as they felt Hartley should have been given another stint.

TV3 sent reporter Shaun Summerfield to Le Mans, and had a pre-race item on Saturday night's news, and some coverage of the race last night (iirc when Brendon was 4th).

I'm dead keen to go to Le Mans next year - could be Hartley Jr's year with some better Porsche reliability.

I've never been before and I'm keen to hear from anyone who has and is willing to share advice on visiting there. You can PM me
