Nobody's watching this classic? Is it too French for your blood?

I'm watching here and there. The sun just set which is always fun.

It's sad to see the LMP1 class fall to where it is. I think it took Toyota something like 50 laps to lap the 3rd place car.

Yep. Velocity.

Now that they are racing at night, it is very interesting.

People can't even watch 3 hours of baseball how are they going to watch a 24 hour race.

That shite is spectacular at night.

ETA The lighted numbers are helpful.

The best parts are usually through the night time (which is right now in our timezones) .... Last year’s race was incredible with all the problems and an LMP2 car almost winning, but this Toyota parade is a snooze fest. I really hope the Toyota’s have issues.

It's not a whole lot better behind them though. Right now the 3rd place car is a lap ahead of 4th and 16 laps ahead of 5th.

A more interesting finish might be Toyota asking the #7 Toyota to slow down to allow the #8 Toyota to win, just to give Alonso the victory. Would be controversial anyway.

F1 racing in the heart of the night.

Automobile racing at its best.

That’s what I was thinking, if the #7 gets team orders and says frick off, could make for an interesting finish.

That pink pig Porsche is a thing of beauty too. Needs more airtime

We need more camera-in-car shots. Those are boss.

These camera-in-car shots are mind-blowing when they show the road speeding towards your windshield.

I would have started a thread but I didn't think anyone watched Le Mans on here haha. Last lap now and Alonso will win in his debut. With no Audi or Porsche P1 competition the prototype battle hasn't been anything remotely interesting.

Scrolling down quickly, I thought it said "24 Hours of Les Miles".

What kind of amazeballs could that turn into?
