3rd generation

[Lord Steve]

Happy to report that I have become a grandfather to a little boy and just wondered what he can expect to see at his first Le Mans say in 10 years time?
A grid of electric cars?
A return of Group C?
A win by TVR?

Options 2 and 3 I realise are just fantasy. Hope that option 1 doesn't happen but what does the CA crystal ball predict?

Still petrol engines.

The equivalent of what is now LMP2 as the top class with privateer teams only.
LMP3
GT
GT3


Back to basics as the manufacturers have decided to spend their dosh elsewhere.

[Lord Steve]

Could be a good thing Barry with closer, more competitive racing.

Mad Danes (still) partying?

Of course and the Brits!

I think there will be hybrids in the GT classes at least as more supercars go this way and the technology more commonplace.

Sporting motoring in general will surely follow the path of the horse and rider and be more and more for a select few eccentrics and nostalgic connoisseurs. Eventually human drivers will be deemed unsafe on public roads and banned along with internal combustion engines.

Here's hoping alternative fuels can save the IC engine so those that love the growl of many contained explosions can still be thrilled by their passing at speed. We just need an engine that emits Chanel No.5 as a by product or gallons of Single Malt.

The return of Group C.  Who wouldn't like to see that?  Of course it won't happen.

Who would have predicted the rise on the Diesel or the Hybrids ten year before it happened.

Hopefully the grids will be full and the racing close.

1 - Autonomous electric cars......?
2 - cars that take their power from a cable embedded into the circuit itself
3 - Recycled beer (processing plant attached to the toilets)
3 - seats with VR headsets built in.
4 - fines for not taking mass transit transportation & for using fossil fueled cars.
5 - paying in Euros after the UK referendum that demand that the UK is allowed back into the EU and the single currency.
6 - mass expansion of hospitality so that you have to take some to get in.

or the same as it is now....
