Currently at the stadium vantage point overlooking turn 18 for qualis



Yesterday for FP1 i was overlooking turn 5&6


Took some vids which i’ll try to post later if i can, when i was at the straight after turn 8, these things are fucking loud and i love it. They sound wayyyyyy better than you hear them on tv.

My vantage point from the track today, turn 18 and the pit entry, watching the Porsche challenge.

So fucking stoked for the race

The monkey paw really went overboard for everyone getting tired of Merc dominance. This season is going to be mind numbingly boring the way things are going.

It already is tbh. Theyve fucked the racing right up

That's gotta be it for this venue right? It's already kinda old and the pressure was on to replace it, and now everyone spent all this money on a failed race? Yikes

No GP this weekend, but if you want background noise for the next 21+ hours as of this posting - 24 Hours Nürburgring

Gfdi max the one race I thought he'd lose out on pole. Wrap it up, there's just no beating him this year

Reminder that the 24 Hours of Le Mans is this weekend starting Saturday at 10am EDT

Also one of these cars is not like the others.

NASCAR

Man...why do I feel like the 24hr of Le Mans happens 24 times a year. I hear about that thing way too often for it to only happen once a year lol

June, always June. Except for that one Covid year and the night was longer than usual.

Also Michael Fassbender's 2nd run at Le Mans. Hopefully his Porsche doesn't get binned in the first half like last year. - https://youtu.be/3yw6kvOPZl4?t=220

The Ferrari hypercar with the overall win with Antonio Giovinazzi one of the trio driving the #51. Toyota and Cadillac round out the top 3.

And Ben Fucking Keating is a 2 time class winner winning the GTE class.

Only clusterfuck were the early safety cars when it was raining. Then all the EU people getting angry at the new SC rules that were akin to IMSA - a wave around for lapped cars, the merge from 3 safety cars to a single, etc. But it did produce closer finish.

I was really hoping to a hyper spin that last hour so we'd get a caddy 1-2.
