Le Mans pre-race news

Pre-race stories before the 24 Hours of Le Mans gets underway.  Yours truly will watch as much of the race as possible, even though there may be some weather in the area.  For those in the Twin Cities (St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN), if you are watching the race on Fox Sports, your signal could be interrupted by some weather that is supposed to move in a couple times during the race on Saturday.  So, bear with it.  For everyone else around the world, do enjoy the race, too. 

Here are the pre-race stories being followed, and there will be a post-race wrap up on Sunday, with highlighted coverage from each hour of the race, or the hours that produce the most action.  So, stay tuned for that.

As you saw in a video, that has been circulating on the net, Kamui Kobayashi demolished the Le Mans lap record for pole position.
