Le Mans

I am a huge racing fan. To clarify if it has motors and wheels I try to follow it! Everything except NASCAR! It is now time for that historic race of endurance, speed and just making it through the night! Audi and their fleet of TDI cars are looking strong in the LMP classes and I am predicting a Corvette year, its about time GM got their **** together and finally won the GT classes again however I have a gut feeling that Porsche will run away with it again just because of the shear number of 911's in the field this year...what are your thoughts???

Watching it live on Eurosport - for the entire 24 hours! I'll probably see more on TV than when I've been to the circuit as a lot of time is spent in the bars. The Group C legends race was good, great to see Porsche 956 and 962's again

You could just clarify by "if it has motors, wheels and turns right occasionally, I try to follow it!"

+1 Always try to catch it , Indy and F1 (especially in Manaco) at the very least .

I caught about an hour yesterday and the finish this morning. I'm looking forward to reading the story on this one. Looked eventful.

15-20 years or so ago, I thought this race was going to fade away. I'm glad it's come back so strong.

So the French have invented the diesel flame-thrower. Ka BLAMMO!!!

You can't really cheer when a team has the misfortune Peugot had this year, three factory cars and a customer car all falling out, but When the Davidson car blew up I did cheer. He ran the GT2-leading Corvette off the road in a completely unnecessary move, and I'm thinking yeah, that was impatient, a bit rough, but what can you do? His comments about it in the interview when he got out of the car, though: It was his fault, I was the faster car and I'm racing for the lead. Well, the car you ran off the road was in the lead of its class, you ********!!!

Anthony Davidson should not be driving at this level. What an *******! His attitude about his right to the road is exacly the same as you see from bike squids doing wheelies on the freeway. Everybody out of the way! This is my road!! I've got **** to do!! The only acceptable justice was for the car to die.

Peugot owes the Corvette team a lot of money!! Running them off the road while leading their class handily, lots of expensive bits into repairing the car, only to have the motor blow up, probably from driving back to the pits with reduced or zero oil pressure.

EDIT: Found the Davidson interview on youtube. Probably won't be up long since it's a copyright violation to be posted there.
