I watched every lap that was broadcasted... Eventually.
I finally finished the race last night! Gotta love tivo.

I was truly disappointed to see only 3 Porsche 911 RSR's showing up for the race. The funny thing was that Flying lizards had the fastest GT2 car on the track so it wasn't necessarily an outright speed problem. If there were more cars, Porsche probably could have gotten on the podium and it probably would have been a better race overall.

I do feel that the world feed broadcast leaves a lot to be desired. During the night, the Audo/Peugot race was very exciting. Over the course of a couple of hours, Audi was consistely faster per lap and finally overtook them. This whole event was barely even mentioned by the TV feed or the announcers. Also, I think the camera guys must ony work during the day as the only shots you get at night are the front stretch, the pits and the in car cameras. I miss seeing the flames coming out the back and the glowing brake discs at night. The Lambo had great flames but you only saw this once or twice.

For P1, I don't think I've seen a better 24 hour race yet. The other series were pretty boring overall. Not a lot of flat tires or pit problems to give the lead to anyone else.
