Nice win, but it really is too bad that all the LMP cars pretty much look alike.

How about just having GTEpro and GTEam cars. Without the LMP1 and 2, the race would actually reflect the good old days. I know, wishful thinking given the amount of $$$$ involved

^^ I was delighted when the 1997 and 98 races, if I recall correctly, were won by the McLaren F1 and the Porsche GT1, due to rule changes that made prototypes either ineligible or uncompetitive. I can't remember exactly being as that was over 20 years ago, plus I'm on my phone and too lazy to look it up.

I was there, we stayed up all 24! It was unreal!

The video is too big so here's a few pics of our helicopter tour during hour 3.


Got to meet Magnus too which was cool!

FWIW.....Within minutes, the commentators indicated that the RIGHT FRONT TIRE had flat-spotted entering one of the Mulsanne chicanes. The flat-spotted tire wound up causing Taylor to not be able to set-up for another turn, and went straight through a gravel pit... which then caused a puncture of the LEFT FRONT.


Had nothing to do with the battle with the Aston at Arnage.
