2015 24 Hours of LeMans

[BigDGarciaFan]

8 hours and 50 minutes left in the race. Porsche(LMP1) is winning, GO PORSCHE, BEAT AUDI. Ferrari is winning in its classification(GT Pro) beating my Corvettes.

Porche ends Audi's reign in LeMans but no worries. VW owns them both.

Just waiting for Audi to enter F1...

Very impressive showing for Nico Hulkenberg.

I expect a lot of F1 drivers to look for seats next year. Everyone is talking about it.

Yea forty_three. I get the impression that F-1 is beginning to die for a lot of reasons and drivers in F-1 are looking for something else. The LeMans and Rolex series are conversely beginning to gain momentum everso slightly. Perhaps the influx of F-1 drivers will really ramp things up.

F1 will never go away, but I do really get the impression that drivers and manufacturers are really looking at endurance racing as the true showcase of what's possible. Hybrid and diesel progress in passenger cars has been more affected by LeMans than anywhere else.

And I've always liked Nico, and winning that race says a lot about his ability. I was shocked that he didn't get the second seat at Lotus (Pastor) or Red Bull (Kvyat). Maybe now he'll get a shot with a contender.

If Audi and BMW return or maybe Hulkenburg will get a seat with Haas in 2016. He is too good to not be driving an F-1 car.

Not exactly LeMans but I have been watching the Tudor United Sportscar Championship series from Watkins Glen today. Awash in rain and water and the drivers have been doing a great job on the wet conditions. They have only one red flag due to fog and rain. Great race. The race is on FoxSports and there are 28 minutes left. The specific race is the Sahlen's 6-Hours at The Glen.

My boy Goosens is leading the GTD class with the Viper with 15 minutes left.

They called the race in the wet and my boy Goosens wins the GTD division with the Viper. Dodge beats Porche and Audi. Yes!
