No idea but it will be worth a few bob especially with the box authentically sprayed with Champagne. :thumb:

Thoroughly enjoyed the Eurosport coverage, and a great result for our
favourite marque. As a footnote, if Webber hadn't have earned himself
the one minute stop and go penalty during one of his stints late last night,
the 17 car would have very close to the 19 winning car....and certainly the
last six or so hours would have been nip and tuck.

Certainly, but had that been the case then if might have detracted from Nick Tandy getting a well deserved win from what was probably the drive of the event. His overnight performance made the race for the #19 crew IMHO.
Can I start criticising the Nissans now though? Porsche return to Le Mans and it is podium on year 1, 1-2 on year 2 and dethroning the diesel Audi juggernaut. Nissan come back with an ill-conceived design (including the only car in the field where the driver can't close the door from the car - which actually became an issue when the door popped open during one stint - costing an extra stop) and finish as the last thing in the field moving a legion of laps behind. If I am honest I was impressed that their crew managed to keep one of them moving, but they need a rethink. I rate many of their academy drivers and if they cannot genuinely make that contraption work next year then they should bin the marketing rubbish and get a chassis put together by someone like Oreca like the Rebellion and give their guys a proper racing car. If they aren't able to build something that can compete, at least enter something that can race.
