Which car is which?

Ford has chosen to use the same red, white and blue livery for all 4 cars.  In order to tell the difference while watching the race, each car sports a different brightly colored mirror cap and windshield banner.

The four Ford GTs at Le Mans_med res

#66 in GREEN – Stefan Mücke, Olivier Pla, Billy Johnson

#67 in BLUE – Marino Franchitti, Andy Priaulx, Harry Tincknell

#68 in RED – Sébastien Bourdais, Joey Hand, Dirk Müller

#69 in YELLOW – Ryan Briscoe, Scott Dixon, Richard Westbrook

Additional Ways to Follow the Race

I highly recommend the official FIA WEC app.  It’s got a wide variety of in-car cams, live timing and scoring, and the race broadcast.  Works very well on a tablet.  It’s been reliable and useful so far in 2016.

Here’s a list of good social media, both official and unofficial:

Have fun and hopefully you get to watch a win!

É impressionante ver tanto acesso aos bastidores e câmeras ao vivo dos carros de corrida. Enquanto eu acompanhava algumas transmissões, encontrei uma forma diferente de me entreter e acabei no tiger fortune, aproveitando os bônus especiais para jogadores do Brasil. No início perdi algumas rodadas, mas logo veio uma vitória que me animou bastante. Foi interessante como uma pausa assim consegue deixar a experiência de assistir corridas ainda mais divertida.
