24 Hours of LeMans
Just letting everyone know that the Motor Trend channel on cable and online is showing the entire 24 Hours.

And if you don't have Motor Trend, the Ford team is streaming on YouTube. Smile

Here on my 65" TCL RokuTV

Thanks, streaming now here as well. Crazy how close the 4 are, 10 hours in, assuming they're on the same lap.

I remember watching a Lemans movie when I was little (probably early 70s I would guess) and deciding right then - I need to be a race car driver when I grow up.

Then I watched something else and was going to be a stunt man.

Then James Bond helped me decide to be a spy.

Then reality set it...


Edited: Just googled it. Steve McQueen 1971.

Looks like 2 of the GTs were DQd for fuel issues.

1 of the GTPro cars for too much fuel & 1 GTAm for too much fuel & refueling too quickly.

Many think becoming a male prostitute isn't settling for anything, its aspirational.

If I was going to cheat I would do something to give me more of an advantage.

The fuel overage was something like .1 of a litre of fuel in the tank, not much extra, the team thinks the fuel bladder expanded from heat, I doubt they tried to cheat by adding .1 of a litre, you wouldn't even make it out of the pits with that little fuel.
