any racing fans here?

Qualifying is on Eurosport now with fernando alonso and jenson button racing in it.

Love the onboard shots in the dark reaching speeds over 200mph :eek:
 


As a racing event it’s pretty awful viewing once it’s a few hours in due to the distances involved and how far apart the cars get.

As a TV spectacle some of the images are incredible. I often dip in and out if it over the weekend. Probably watch 2-3 hours of it in total

Yes I agree and will probably do the same but, it's incredible how they do the distance. Both car and drivers.

It's insane.
 
Working from home over the weekend, might as well stick it on around the football.

My lad tried to watch it all a couple of years ago, got a call at 11am on the Sunday asking if he could cover for another goalie in his mates u-15 team :lol:
 
Why the fuck go to Le Mans if you don't like cars

Just told you twice already, the piss ups are class. Couple of the lads are into it, so we made a weeks holiday of it. Was good crack.

Same way they absolutely hate cricket but come away for test matches for the piss ups.
 
Bit strange to me having such a variation in speed between cars, it's literally 3 to 4 different races happening at once. Which didn't really make sense to me.

Plus, the top class is basically a farce now.

Fairly common to have mixed class racing, even in smaller day meets like Knockhill. Keeps the bigger lads on their toes having to dodge the traffic
 
Pre race and the GTE Pro drivers were complaining that the ACO had limited them to 14 lap stints but it made for some of the best racing I’ve ever seen. The 91 Porsche and 68 Ford battle was absolutely fantastic.
