    24H Le Mans

    Gonna leave this on all day, just like A Christmas Story on Christmas Day.

    LeBron at LeMans. How silly.

    Hertz-Singer Porsche 963 running 2! Wild considering how bad practice went.

    Is the race always like that? Literally hours of safety car. Kind of frustrating, IMO. (Still a cool race, but in the past I've really only seen highlights--this was the first year I spent any real amount of time watching it live.)

    39th overall, still running at 24 hours. Pretty impressive.

    39th. About where it seemed like it would end up based on practice sessions, I think.

    My favorite part might be the fact that they won the pit stop competition using Nascar floor jacks.

    Say what you will about the Americans but Cadillac knows how run a winning Prototype team and would you look at Corvette taking GTLM.

    Stoked for the all-woman Porsche 911 RS-R Iron Dames team for finishing just seconds off the podium.

    Super stoked to see Rexy go the distance with a strong 7th place finish. Not bad for a young team. Looking forward to seeing them face off against the Pfaff 911 team soon.

    Nope, the weather really messed with it.

    The 963 program has been a learning curve for the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing. I have full faith that they won’t take this laying down, especially given their success with the cars on the WEC/IMSA circuits this inaugural season.

    Penske-Porsche came up way short today. Especially given their time and resource advantage over the fellas from Maranello, much to my disappointment.

    Jota-Singer performed incredibly as a non-works entry with the same car in hypercar class. If I’m Roger Penske I’m asking what the fuck for sure.

    Pfaff “Plaid Porsche” is a seriously badass Canuck race team.

    Breathtaking hyperpole lap yesterday.



    Looks like it's going to be a epic race.

    On board cameras showing an awesome night fight between Caddy and Ferrari for position. This is so good.

    Begrudgingly hat tip to Ferrari for a back to back overall win.

    Very happy with where the Porsche-Penske factory program is right now finishing 1 second off the overall podium, and with Porsche in general with 4 963s in the top 10 and a class win in LMGT3 for the Manthey Racing 911.

    Thanks man, been at the beach for a while and with the forum working at 1994 speeds I figured it was a good time to unplug.

    Because I think you guys are Supercar/Hypercar fans, I thought I'd mention this here...

    last weekend in Teton village there were no less than 50 Paganis.

    They've been rolling around the Tetons in packs and looking sick.

    I heard the Boss of Pagani was in a one of a kind model that was substantially more pricey than the avg. $4M tag on all the poor's rides.

    How no one got permission for them to hold a race to the top of Teton pass is beyond me.

    Fucking idiots around here; the one time the pass is shut down and actually viable for a race to go down. Station some EMTs, Fire rigs and a Helo for accidents and we're golden.
