Anybody watching 24hrs Lemans on Speed?

interesting race.. very sloppy to say the least. Not to mention watching them cut and dismantle the carbon fiber front with a hacksaw was heartwrenching... the diesel IS kicking ass though!

Game 6 of the SC finals is on... as soon as it's over i'm switching over to the race... how are the Vettes doing?

3-0 Oilers....

The C6R's are doing well... they have slowed down quite a bit from debris and rubber on the track... a little dangerous going that fast in the dark.

The aston's are superfast.. very impressive. Porsches are getting their asses kicked though.

btw.. whomever says Audi does not make reliable cars.. watch 24 hour lemans.. Remember.. the last running the R8 finished 1-2-3... I'll refrain from asking where BMW or for that matter MB is.

And the GT1 leading Aston was just taken apart in the garage, putting the #64 C6R Corvette in 1st place in GT1!

Thunder22 · #8 06-18-2006, 10:46 AM

15 minutes from the finish and the #64 C6R is still #1 in LMGT1 and 4th overall

If things stay the way they are, the C6R from Corvette Racing will be #1, and the C5R's of Alphand Adventures will be #3. 2 Podiums slots for for Corvettes, the old and the new!

Too bad that the #63 C6R was collected in an accident early in the race or it could have been 1,2 & 3 for Corvettes in LMGT1.

Not only are the Vettes doing well, but the Panoz is #1 in LMGT2! Beating out the Porsche's and Ferrari's. (Panoz is based and hand manufactured in Hoschton, Georgia)

The American muscle car racing teams are really tearing up the French countryside!

The friggin french TV station that was the only feed for the race didn't even show the Vettes crossing the finish line. They showed all of the other class winners crossing the line....

The ironic thing is that Louis Chevrolet was FRENCH! JEEEZ!
