2021 Le Mans :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Normally, when Le Mans weekend rolls around, it's cause for celebration.

But nooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo, not this year.

Only available... excuse me... EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE ON THE MOTOR TREND APP!!! Yippeee!

No.

It seems like things have been moving in this direction for a few years now... with more parts of this and other enduros going to pay-per-view.

New signups get the $44.99 per year price.



At least I won't be sleep deprived this year.

I'll watch highlights on YouTube, but it's not the same.

It is showing on my cable guide, running on Motor Trend HD channel, for the entire 24 hours, starting around 6am in a few hours from now! I hope I am getting lucky needing no app!

I already congratulated Toyota on their 2021 win, and will try to appreciate their 24 hour parade laps.

The P2, I guess I pick a horse based on my favorite color, team name, or their international Country status. Spec racing is generally boring as ****t! I printed the side color shots of all of the cars by Snipping video pics from Motorsports.com

GTLM- three way going on, Porsche has stacked the deck with 4 top cars, Corvette has been on a streak of top pit work performances to win alot, and Ferrari is notorious for sandbag cheating, if they can get away with it. This will be my race to watch this year, the other classes are just part of the arcade obstacle course.

GTAM- I need to pick a few favorites, but am kind of indifferent on what Marque I like. I need to come up to speed on who is there, as this class will be cool to follow, if it gets enough TV coverage as for me, the GT classes are the only real interesting battles. Hope it isn't rigged for the car load of amputees.

For Heel and Toe- Plastic Grid girls with Strap ons!






I just need to find my preferred live timing and score format, and start drinking here soon, this morning. But have to stay sober for the grid girl coverage! The tall Gal in the periwinkle colored top doesn't realize it yet, that I will be stalking her!😍🥰😘😛

Since he can't get coverage,, Maybe Glickenhaus can make his weekend, and break down right in front of his house! 😉

They're having some difficulty keeping the cars on the track.

I was able to get a 7 day free trial on the motor trend app on my Fire TV. Good quality stream!

Motor Trend is in our Spectrum package and I turned on the tube this afternoon about 3:30 and there it was. Been watching since.
