gotta love the view when it's sunrise.

that's a sweet looking ZR1 there. and lol some random blokes playing cards.
 
I'm an aston fan because they look gorgeous and because I don't want them to have a similar year like last year which was a real drama.
 
Yeah, me too. But wow, an American rooting for Aston :D

I learned to love them when they use to fight it out with Corvette in GT1, then on I learned to love certain enemies. Viper and Aston being those enemies of Corvette that I love. Ferrari I will never, and BMW I lothed even more glad they're not here to be honest. Porsche I also dislike unless they're running a prototype.
 
Well, as th Vette team has a VERY slim chance of winning, I'll join to the Aston Martin cheering, but not because Aston Martin but because Adrian Fernandez. I've had the chance to speak a bit with the guy and he's cool, so go, paisano, carajo!

Maybe it helps locating the accident scene when they post the yellow flag zone.
 
All I can see is from the #73 Corvette since Speed decides we want to see NASCAR PRACTICE

the stream from lemans tv (the official one) has an onboard with the #1 audi as well.
 
Vettes still have a shot in GTE Am, rooting for the #50 in that class.
 
catastrophic failure, they had to change the entire steering rack. set them back a bit.

That was the 73 sister car, that car never led the race and the highest it got was third. The 74 car was the lead car and the reason they were knocked out was due to a bad pitstop that saw the left rear tire fall off half way around the track. Then the 74 wrecked and need major repairs and a new transmission.

#48 locked up into the gravel D:
 
What does a quadruple stint mean? I heard this mentioned a couple of times on my stream.

there's single, double, triple, quadruple and last year we saw a quintiple stint. If you're still unsure, quadruple means four stints on one set of tires. You don't change the driver before you change the tires so the driver does at least the same amounts of stints as the tires.

I just wish Jaguar would get back into racing :)

They raced last year in the ALMS, shame they dropped out.. Easily was the best sounding car in the field, even better than the Corvettes.

just in case a stint is one period of racing between pit stops

I thought Quadruple meant four? :dunce:
