Alonso saw 16 hours of on-board footage preparing for Le Mans

Fernando Alonso has revealed that he checked out all the available Toyota-footage of last years' 24 Hours of Le Mans, as the Spaniard will make his debut at the legendary race in two weeks time.

Alonso will be manning the #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid alongside Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastien Buemi on the 16th of June.

"I looked at all of it [available footage from 2017], as well as races from the past, videos on the internet and the pole lap from Kamui [Kobayashi] last year," Alonso told Motorsport.com ahead of Sunday's testing day on the Circuit de La Sarthe.

Alonso has driven on the simulator to get to know the over eight-mile-long track better, but he knows that he needs to get out there to get a real feel for it.
