24 Hours of Le Mans
« on: June 11, 2010, 09:36:39 am »
I seem to be the only guy that follows ALMS, but and FYI to everyone that Le Mans is running this weekend.

I'll be watching my GT2 Corvettes, which qualified in the P1 and P2 position!

You could argue that the GT2 field is some of the best and most competitive racing on the planet right now.

This weekend's race will be my third attempt to stay awake for the entire race.  Last year, I got within 30 minutes of the finish.  I'm looking forward to the event!

The Risi F430 was pole, but was penalized due to a wing infraction...  They claim the wing was correct at the time of qualifiying.

That's a shame ;-)

This video is worth watching, or should I say, listening to!
