24hrs Le Mans

[cbeers]

Did anyone else catch the coverage on Speed Channel this weekend? I became very irritated with the coverage towards the end, all they did was show pit stops. Who cares? I want to see racing. I know pit stops are important, but isn't the racing as important? Seemed like for every half hour of time, about 5 minutes was devoted to track time and racing. The rest was interviews, pits etc.

Rant over



Compared to the Trans Am series later in the day, the 24hrs was a let down. Still cool to catch, but too much talking and not enough racing. Trans Am also had a lot of different classes and cars that made it interesting.


So how come the 24hr coverage was ho-hum at times?

So how come the 24hr coverage was ho-hum at times?

because a 24 hour race does get routine at times..the cars get spread out..

Didnt the first place LMP2 car have like a 30 lap lead over the second place car? The irst place car just limped around the track the last hour or so..

thats my take

i found watching the night portion of the race pretty boring. blurry head lights? i see that driving home from the bar at 2 AM. before someone shats themself, i was kidding with that last line.
