Watching the Corvette feed it looks like the 74 can run with the Aston, and might have better brakes.

We'll see what the Aston's advantages in Aero and Fuel do for the long haul.


The 73 does't seem to be n the same strategy, running with the Ferraris.

And the sound from the energy recovery system. Might get on your nerves, after awhile.

Have you heard those Audi diesels? They're silent, I suspect even with that regeneration (which happens in select corners) is probably still quieter than an unleaded race car.

Even more camera angles:

LeMans TV Live (the commentary on channel 1 is in French, but the in-car views on the other channels don't have any commentary anyway!)

I'm watching Audi #2 in-car right now.

Garcia has done a great job of getting the 73 back into the mix after the issues Magnusson had in the first sttnt.

They need to fuk off with the nascar shit and interruptions. The circle jerk racing is automotive faggotry and should not even be spoken of during the 24hrs.

Bunch of circle driving faggots.

Speaking of which away are your plans for the F1 race? I'm opting to skip the race and have a viewing party somewhere here in Houston. I think Vetteboy is on board as well.

I wanted to go, but the parking and the traffic is just going to be a disaster. I will be skipping the 1st year and will be watching from somewhere in Houston.

Keep me in mind when the invites go out!

I think you're right. I don't think they let him go because he wasn't fast.
