The Le Mans race in France

[Scary Guy]

I don't care about sports, except however for this event.

It's on Speedvision at 2 and will run 24 hours (unless they interrupt it with other crap).

It's better than nasscar because they can turn left AND right :D

Indeed. Some day in my life I will make the pilgrimage to go see it.

I think the concept of the race itself is pretty cool.

I just hope for the sake of the driver, that the teams have drivers that they can swap into the cars.

If I were a driver in that race, I would hate it if I had use the bathroom and have to hold it all that time.

Heehee...

There are usually 3-4 drivers. Typically they switch every other fuel/tire stop. If there's a need to go balls out to catch another car, they may put the fastest guy in for a while, but at this level one guy is rarely significantly faster then any of the others unless there's a rich guy renting a seat. (That happens quite often in the regular series, not so much at LeMans)

I've actually run a couple 24 hour races. Flying along in the middle of the night is awesome... :D
