2006 LeMans 24-hour Race

Hey guys,

Did anyone watch any of it on Speed Channel? Finally...Speed Channel showing something other than Nascar...

anyway, it was so awesome. Watching it makes me really want to get into it...

Team Corvette came back w/ only 3 hours remaining to beat the Aston Martin DB(8 or 9)! crazy...


They run full A/C to keep the drivers cool and composed.

And when one engineer was asked if a driver should take it easy or short shift if they have a big lead, he said no. Drive it the same way...because the car is "meant" to be shifted at its redline. Crazy...

Yeah, I watched the first hour or so and then when I came back later in the day Fucking Nascar was on and then I flipped to the next channel which was FX...there it was again. So, needless to say I was a little ticked. When I woke up on Sunday it was on so I watched for a little while, but, I missed the last hour.
I remember seeing the Porche in the lead breaking its shift lever and having to limp back to the pits.

Ummm, Speed's been showing the 24 le Mans ever since I can remember.

I watched alot of it this year. I was really pulling for tha Audi's though that was a no brainer. The battle between the C6R and the ProDrive Aston martins was great.

It was definatly worth the watch.

I was just exaggerating the amount of Nascar they show. Pretty much is Nascar TV.

I enjoy the Formula One coverage, along with with the random WRC races late a night.

Agree 100%...I can't remember the last time I saw a Rally race on Speed...They used to show taped races all the time.

WRC is dead this year, dont forget that. Should be resurrected to near normal next though
