We will have a viewing party live streaming for the entire race. I'm betting our crew will add more to the SPEED visuals than the other alternatives.

The fans are taking it to another level this year. Somebody call the cops.

The early Audi crash with Allan McNish at the wheel was bad and avoidable. Gladly no one was serriouly hurt, including spectators.
Check out the debris raining down after impact with safety barrier! Video: Audi driver Allan McNish OK after horrific crash at - AutoWeek

I saw that crash a bit ago, I still can't believe no-one was hurt.
That camera man was fast and lucky.

That's one of the worst crashes I've seen in the modern era. I hope all those photographers brought a change of shorts!

Sorry, but the diesels just don't sound like race cars when you hear the in-car audio. The valve noise makes them sound like they're coming apart.

I was out most of the day, and just finished watching the first 3 hrs show with Mc Nish crash. WHEW great that he walked away, as well as some very lucky Photogs, The coverage is mostly focused on the Audi's and Peugeot. Not many P-cars in sight. Some great track side views!!

Just saw Justin Bell do a segment in the spectator entertainment/ food/ drinks area. boy was that a good look at another side of this amazing event.
I was there last year for the Classic, and Ive got to tell you that the experience is over the top. multinational partying, campathon, Marathon good times. For many the badge of honor was the size of the pile of empties stacked at your campsite. The festival atmosphere is everywhere day and night too good. It is a true endurance event for the spectators for sure. As well as the race team. Cheers Richard |
