I was trying to overcome the disgust of having to watch a NASCAR practice instead of the 24 Hrs.

As for Porsche hopes, at least the Lizards are still alive and running. I've left their streaming audio up all day (much to the chagrin of my wife who keeps asking me "Who keeps saying 'Copy.'......).

I hope Villeneuve's team win, it would be cool to see history in making. And I certainly don't mind if Audi doesn't win again.

Bad 24 for Porsche in GT2... Ferrari is beating then big time. RS spyders are doing great but I wanted to see Lizards to win. Hopefully Salo & Co. can stay up front!

RSRs beat themselves, no? I stepped away, what happened to Henzler's RSR that moved it so far back?

I don't know that. I was just cracking on Melo.

I've been watching some online, but missed that RSR incident. I'm sure Speed will re-start its coverage with highlights to help fill in some gaps.

Hey, at least we can route for a RS Spyder in the top ten. That's what I've resolved myself to now.

Some of the privateer Spyders look great too. I've been doing something else the last couple of times that they put up the current running order.

It looks like the Spyker was better looking than it was at performing. And the size and position of the rear difuser on the Lambo is pretty strange looking. I wonder what the race promoters do for certain teams (regarding the rules) to get them to compete and convince everyone that there is rough parity in class.

Speed says they are showing Le Mans highlights from 8:30 to 9:00. Instead of that, I see moto racing on snow in Canada. WTF?
