He's pretty quick in the racing games, btw, no driver aids, etc.

This is impressive.

Nurburgring 24 going on now

[elfenix 34221]

greasy as fuck out there.  lots of cars off.  7 hours in and 40 laps complete.  not exactly a spectator race. 

 

they were just talking about the weather and F1, which will be here in 2 weeks.

A 24 hour race that started at 4 pm and ended at 3 pm

Spy huntered it!

12 Hours of Sebring is tomorrow. 

NBC and NBCSN will allegedly be airing the entire race, but I'll believe that when I see it because their coverage sucks donkey dicks and I'm pretty sure that whoever is making decisions over there actually hates motorsports fans.

also 8 hours of bahrain

32 minutes left and cadillac is about to melt down.  cars running 4-7 are all cadillacs.  the car currently running 7th can win the driver's championship by getting to 5th place, otherwise, acura wins the driver's championship.  so parking the cars currently sitting in 5 and 6 could get the driver's championship for the car in 7.  and neither of the guys in the car running in 7th have a ride for next year.  but do you really want to park cars?  also, it's 4 teams with 1 manufacturer. more complication!

leading 77 mazda suffers a blowout with 28 minutes left dropping it to 3rd.  55 mazda takes the checkered, followed by acura, securing the constructors, helio castroneves and ricky taylor take the driver's in their acura.  disaster for cadillac losing both the constructor's and driver's today

2023 Le Mans is shaping up to be amazing.

2023 Le Mans might the vacation my wife needs.  I was looking this morning at 24 Hr of Daytona and Sebring tickets.  We talked about it and decided against it simply because there is still too much uncertainty.  Definitely getting revved up for some motorsport.

Well, then ...
