Damp warm-up at LeMans

At 14.22pm local time, a modern version of the classic Le Mans start will be re-created where drivers are set to run to their cars to form the dummy grid. At 15.00 the race will begin with 55 cars of 4 different classes battling it out on the famous and challenging 8.72-mile circuit.

Conditions for the race are expected to be dry this afternoon. However, this morning the warm up session was held in damp conditions and many cars suffered excursions due to the treacherous track surface.
