There is a tv - and there is a BV.

their on song 😕

Now with a shot at overall p1! Crazy race...

You would have thought B&O would have had a campaign behind it, unless this really is Sparkle Roll on their own. Given how well they are doing, you wonder what they do with it publicity wise. Fingers crossed for an overall podium finish.

FANTASTIC finish 😁

I am deeply disappointed here.

B&O should have come up with an electric car, respectful of environment and silent. And that thing here is just uuugly.

Missed then!

LMP2 class WINNER, what a FANTASTIC result.

Congratulations to the team, the drivers Ho-Pin Tung, Oliver Jarvis and Thomas Laurent
 and all who made this possible.

Second overall at Le Mans 2017, a mad mad 24hour race this year

Oreca are a sports car prototype manufacturer along with the likes of Rebellion and build many cars for the LM series so yes the cars are generic in design (gone the days of individual styling) and Sponsors/Teams try their best with varying paintwork.

What is amazing is they nearly won Le Mans with a budget much smaller than the other major teams, Toyota spends approx 50 million euros just for this series running their complex hybrid and had many technical issues.

Hehe just checking in Forum to see if some of you B&O nerds should be petrol heads as well, and indeed so :)

Great victory by the B&O LMP2 car, great exposure for some 250.000 spectators and millions of viewers! Fantastic race allthough I missed a dane or two at the top of the GTPro class..

Double good 24hrs for me with Aston eeking out the GTE Pro class despite 3 Astons catching a flat mid-circuit (Pro and Am). Not bad for a 13 year old car in its final year at LM.
