Wow. Looks like some of them were looking for Lemons, not LeMans.

wow so even in europe people have more money than talent.

Mike, it looks to me in the second incident that you had it with the guy as you came on the front stretch.

Probably hard not to want to hit them harder, but then the expense or time to make repairs on your car vs. the practice time.

So cool what you are doing.

Ya, some people don't learn unless you hit them.

We finished the session in the car, the RSR is very strong on the front corners (unlike the Cup's!). In this level of racing you can't let people push you around, either purposely or by accident --- it effects how they drive around you and your co-drivers during the race. We don't need practice time to just drive around, it needs to be productive. If people are being idiots, it's not productive. :-)

If anyone actually watched the race, this same #4 LMP3 car also ruined our race by spinning in front of me after I gave him room to make an easy pass into the last chicane (same place he was mentally handicap in this clip).
