By the way, I gave Toyota a good chunk of money a week or so ago, so I'm deluding myself that I've contributed to their success thus far.

I bought two 1/43 Diecast cars, last week. 1 TS020, and 1 TS040. I already had two TS030s. Just have to get the TS010, and whenever the TS050 comes out.
 
Sheesh, out of stuff to drink! Brb, going for a quick pit stop across the street!
 
Ferrari off, ya know what that means! (#71)
 
#71 Ferrari having fun in the sandbox.

Possible mechanical issue for #71.

Edit: Justin Bell in "trouble" possibly with some "friendly" fans. :scared: :lol:
 
To me it looked like the rear left went. The way it spat off looked like a suspension failure.
 
Am I hearing things on this FS broadcast or is there going to be a single GT format based upon GT3 in 18'? :eek:

That was the (now dropped) plan.

Well back to the speculation then. :lol: Only makes me curious that he said that since he's with that Lexus works team that'll debut next year (IMSA GTD).
 
Back to Green, is the #71 going under its own power?
 
#7 Audi has a front left puncture.
 
The team manager is now in a bit of a dilemma. He has to make a choice, carefully asses every option and it's impact on the current status of the hardware. Not only that, he also has to think more than twelve ahours ahead considering he'l have to stay awake until the end of the race.

What I'm trying to say, is that I got no idea what should I order for dinner :lol:. Pizza? SubWay? KFC? What will be the yummiest? What will cause the less sleep/gastric distress? 🤬, even watching this race is tough! :lol:

was taking pictures and my monopod has a ball joint, had my hand under the lens to support it(big heavy 70-200 2.8) someone barged past and lens fell down trapping my finger between the lens and the ball joint.

Funny that at the start they got "lost" and tried to park in the middle of the LMP2 field.

The Vettes literally shake the ground with the roaring V8's that you can hear coming from a mile away. It sends chills up your spine when you hear them roar by, it shakes the ground. The Ford GT V6 turbo's sound like a fart passing you. Different strokes for different folks.

As I worked crew at two ALMS and I do know though, that ROAR, and baffled exhaust note DOES totally have a great, jaw-dropping, sound and vibe to it. Like I said, I do get nostalgic AF sometimes. Also, those Banshee-whining tranny's, twin-disc (I think) clutches, and gritty sounding LSD's sound so mean. I can't deny that. I just embrace the future, and love me a high revving, boosted, higher-compression Honda Motor Sound. I'm also DRUNK AF.
