I agree.

I grew up watching another car company do the same exact thing, a company that all but "patented" that design for success at Le Mans. And I continued to watch them do so from when I bought my first used Porsche at 19 years old until recently....with very few lapses along the way. I miss that company Named Porsche every now and then.....

When I think of all the *&%#%*$#% things that can go wrong in a 30 minute sprint race, I think its a miracle that ANY of these cars can finish this race...
